"Larry" (pictured below with me), short for Larry Bird, measured in at 33" long.

My biggest catch ever, it beat my goal of catching a 30" striper by 3 inches!

Carl would be so proud of me.

Thanks to all the tips and well-wishing. What a rush.

Oops. How do you attach the picture? It didn't work!

Sweetieface at the bottom of the reply page it says attatch file, click the browse button, then go to the location on your computer where the picture is. Double-click the picture and click open. Then click submit reply. Congrats on your fish. :D

:btu:

Great job. Hope everything is going OK for you. The pick'll be great when we see it. :laughs:

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :D :D GOOD JOB ! NEXT GOAL 40 INCH OR BETTER :D :D :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Congrats, time to catch a cow eh?

Its not working....what am I doing wrong? It shows the attached file in the line below, but does not show up when I submit post.

I thing it has to be a jpeg or gif.

Well, I can't seem to get it to work, but I can put it as an avatar. Hope its view-able!

If you want to email it to me I will try to put it up for you.

SWEEEEEETT!!!!!;) ;) ;)

Goodie Goodie....:D

...."Advance to Go, and collect $200"....


....I hope you know, its like a drug!!


WELCOME TO ONE OF THE CLINICS!! :laughs:

Here is a picture of Sweetieface's fish. If they are getting fish like this on the north shore, maybe we should take Ross up on his get together offer.

..Forgive me for saying this but...


....you picked the PERFECT name for the site (sweetieface);) that fish bit cuz he knew what was at the end of the line...and congratulations again on the fish. Those are some attractive rocks behind ya......where about is that?:happy: ...

HEY ROSS!!!!

Bloo you can say that again.:D

...I am curious though....

..why did you call him "Larry Bird"???....:confused:


..Stripers have BIG mouths......you should have called him Emil Carr..:laughs: :laughs:

He was 33" long hence Larry Legend.:o

What can I say but Way To Go!!!!....makes my day ....get another.....:)

sweetieface nice fish!!!! the smile says it all!!! :happy:

Re: I DiD it!!!

Indeed you did! I know I have seen those rocks before.

I'm flattered, Bloocrab. :blush: Thanks.
But the fish bit because he knew he was overpowered by my massive fishing skills......... (ok, even *I'm* laughing at that!) I have a four inch bruise on my forearm from reeling the sucker in!

The rocks are beautiful, aren't they?
I am sorry, but if Carl taught me one thing: You cannot divulge your fishing locations......
If I do, you'll catch all the big ones and I'll have none!!!!!

Thanks again Specialist for posting that for me! :D :cool:

Yeah, that fish looks kinda happy:D


Congrats again:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :laughs:

....;) Your one of the smart ones too huh?....:eek: ....


...WATCH OUT FISHEEEZ!!!....:cool: ...she's got the 'looks'...the skills....and the brains....WHAT A COMBINATION!!!:) ...


and don't worry about me catching all the big ones...I don't catch fish...I just talk about it :p

You bet! Carl's momma didn't raise no fools!

As lucky as I was, he was too.

Watch out cats and kittens.....I'm gonna catch a big 'ol STRIPER and put you pro fishermen to *shame* !!!

...just don't dress so dang pretty next time.....;) Fishing gets messy~ya BIG SHOW-OFF :p :p

Congrats on your stripe, nice fish for sure, get a few more like that or bigger and you will be hooked for life.

I already am hooked for life. After the first time I went, I was thinking about it all day long after.

It is like a drug.

And don't worry, I have clothes specially put aside just for my new favorite hobby....

Going out to buy my first rod next week. Any suggestions?

Go to a reputable store with your friend. Try the rods yourself, whats good for some of us may be not be good for you. Daiwa Sealine-X rods are a good price, light in weight, and have quality components.

Since I posted that picture, care to divulge to me any hotspots :D

I use a Daiwa Sealine Surf and it is exactly as advertised, not too expense but it is really light and is a quality product...

Specialist, I'd love to help you out and return the favor.

Unfortunately, I only know of one spot, and cannot leak it.

I will try to return the favor, however, by sending you filets from my next catch, which will be at LEAST 40".......

(Hey, don't mess with a fantasy)

No paybacks needed, I was just kidding. ;)

way to go Glrl !!!! youll get bigger than a 40", you have the right attitude !

Looks like you are catching on quite nicely to this sportfishing Sweetieface. Nice fish:cool:

...just don't dress so dang pretty next time.....

I could give you fishin fashion tips........:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

JUST KIDDING........I dont DARE give fashion tips to anyone......I know I have no taste!!!!! HA!HA! my theory is why bother...I know I am only going to get it dirty anyway!!! LOL

P.S. my parents had three girls and I was the one who absolutely REFUSED to wear dresses......my mother forced my on sundays (for church) until the time I wore a skirt with pockets on a hot summer day and OOPS melted about twenty hersheys kisses in the pocket!!! pulling out my hands full of melted chocolate and getting it all over the pews and just..........she didnt insist as much after that........:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: (I really hated that.....)

Here is a picture of an old "sweetie" I use to date that liked to fish ;). I wonder what she is up to nowadays....Probably married to one of you guys! :D She always made a fashion statement when we went fishing.

Uhh... since Sweetie is up in my neck of the woods....

mebbe it just took a beautiful woman to get you guys to remember my offer up here on the North Shore.......

Ross

Hey, I'm no expert here but I am a female. And just judging by the looks of your little 'sweetie' here, Mr. Sandman, there ain't much sweet about her.

Jenn, I am still laughing at your hershey's kisses story. Partly because I am just the opposite. I loved to get all dressed up for church as a kid. Even now, I'd rather dress nicely than in jeans. It makes it even funnier for my friends to see me covered in bait guts holding a big ol' fish up in front of me!

OUCH!!!!!

But I think I like this new member that caught her first 30+.....:)

Alright guys, give her a break before you scare her off.

Good fish SF, but I have to agree... the outfit needs a bit of work. As a true fashion mogul (ask John R.. I have set several trends i.e. white socks with tevas), I'd say pick up some waders, a dirty hat and smear some eel juice on an old sweatshirt.

If these delinquents still flirt with you after that, at least you know its your fishing skills they are after.

Keep up the good work...

Sandman, you're full of beans :)

Sandman, you're full of beans

LMAO - :laughs:

SF - don't pay them no mind and forget about the eel slime :p

Relax guys...it was a joke!

Schoolie I've seen you dress and I'm sorry, but you are clueless. I've seen you freeze your arse off wading a certain flat because you came ill prepared clothing wise.

I stopped worrying a long time ago what I look like, but I know I'd be way underdressed fishing next to you sweetie:). I think you will have to get your fish on a diet of plastic, that way you won't have any smellie bait guts to worry about and you can dress to beat the band....lol.

I've been to a few 4-legs and there aren't many cloths horses in this crew:).

Bob if you take me to dinner and a movie I will wear my best stuff for you. :D

Now everyone leave her alone I found her first :D :laugha:

More power to ya!!!!! I never could stand it...(dresses OR church):rolleyes: gimme me t's, jeans and boots ....I am a happy girl! Hey I am married too so I dont HAVE to worry about attractiveness ...LOL :p :p :p

Here is a picture of an old "sweetie" I use to date that liked to fish . I wonder what she is up to nowadays....Probably married to one of you guys! She always made a fashion statement when we went fishing.

ok...I was on to you MR. sandman!!!!!! I know that pic is surely a crock-o-sh@*!!!!! first of all she doesnt have a place for her pliers pocket knife or a tape measure.....and secondly....I highly doubt after reeling in a fish of that size she would look all that great and willing to pose so perfectly!!!!!! Nice try though.....next time you have to be a little more convincing OK???!!!!!! LOL:rolleyes: :D :D

This is what you would expect after fishing half the night (already with no sleep for two days) then getting a few hours....then up at 3:30 (also NOT a morning person) and the fishing all morning....sweatin in yer waders....in bad need of a shower....smelling like week old sand eels.......and not nearly enough coffe in my system (thats a hard thing to achieve)!!! Hqardly sounds worth it huh??? NO WAY!!!!! the thrill of a striper on the end of my line makes it all worth doing! yee haw!

C:\111pics\cape\schoolies.JPG

the fact that I cant post a pic is really annoying me...I gotta figure this out so bare with me here OK???

woo hoo! it worked!

Doubles on the Cape - Jenn, sounds good :btu: - So did the hubby want to fish a lot too???

well I cant take ALL the credit.......we (yes he's a nut now) both brought these fish in at the same time.....so I got elected to hold as he clicked the pic...!!!!!

boy we sure had fun this past weekend.....but we are wiped!!!!! (STILL!!!)

Look at those twin stripers! awesome! Looks like a set of bookends.

A few weeks ago my fishing buddy was bottom fishing, and we both reeled in our catch at the same time..... mine a small nothing-fish, his - seaweed! I'll attach the picture as soon as I get it!

I am still looking forward to hauling in a 25lb..... boot. I know sooner or later I will catch an article of clothing or a 6 pack of beer!

As for clothes, I am gradually getting together a whole drawer of fishing-only things. Those shorts you see in the picture??? COVERED in Herring bait. Ruined. But WORTH IT! I'd go in an evening gown if it meant a 40"-er! :rolleyes: :D

:)

I am still looking forward to hauling in a 25lb..... boot

(snort-snicker-ha!) how bout a skate attached to a 4" x4" slab of plywood?????:rolleyes: :rolleyes: never forget that one.....best part???? on an eel!!!! (and I dont attempt them very often either.....) figures.......:smash:


aw heck for a 40# er I think I would wear an evening gown too....(only if it was a guaranteed thing though.....teehee)
