Finally,a response!

Thanks John....:wavey:

Maybe next time with the fish too bro....:fishin:

This am sucked wind...man I'm tired, but the kiddie rides tomorrow will be a needed change from the green grass and salt water. Can't wait for the teacups.:spin:

Was trying to get a pic of JohnR and TonyO holding the cup this AM, but being the modest fellows they are and hoping not to jinx team S-B, they both declined the opportunity. So I simply clicked away whilst experimenting with manual camera settings.

I am in Mike. I will be hitting it hard (as possible with work and family) the next month.

Energy drinks and casual days at work from here on out.:fishin:

just looking over the numbers, we need 45's from the surf, about 5 of them will do it the way things stand now - tall order but possibly do-able. i'll be out there looking for mine. hopefully soon. regrouping this week for a big push to the finish.

putting notice in at work next monday. packing tent. moving to cutty for the next 3 weeks. gonna grow me a beard. may not win, but gonna give it one hell of a try. someone else can keep the wife company........

was your last sentence a invatation :kewl::lm:

It was nice meeting Backbeach and Tony O this a.m. and running into JR in total darkness. That was a quirky start to the day.

I feel good about this upcoming 2 weeks in the boat, especially the new moon period. Things are happening out there with fish moving to some local's that I consider for lack of a better term staging areas,or gathering areas, not a ton but they are moving in.

I'll be out , waters like 74 in westport

TOTALLY AGREE, Professor!!

seen the types of staging and movements that would indicate
that the NShore is getting ready for an explosion. and why not??

i, for one, doan think that last year was an anomaly of any sort.
i further believe that we should expect/foresee even better feesh and
bigger numbers than last year ~~that is if RI & JZ *hasn't killed all the trophies*

45#'ers???? HAIL NO, i'm thinking in the 50's and 60's me
bruddahs!!! don't tell me it's not doable :doh: :doh: :doh:

cuz if you ain't dreamin' BIG; then you ain't DREAMIN'!!!
:bl: :bl: :bl: :bl:

NOW, get out there fellow NShorians and
Land us sum LAHHHHHHGE!!!

Right on time too. No need to mention where, but I'm pretty sure I know where you're talking about. Usually after they leave that place they show up in my wheelhouse for a few weeks.

Where do you weigh your fish on Cutty? There's no weigh station there is there? Just wondering:grins:

gots to come back over to "America" to weigh in/ sell fish, get bait and red bull/rockstar.

oops, wrong thread

oops, wrong thread

Bump.

LETS F%$%$%$%$ING GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update is coming out today. Reliable word has it we're in second place right now with 9 days remaining. Kick it into high gear men!

Hallelujah Brothah!

Nine Days, Some Hard Fishing, a little Luck (Remember, you make your own luck), and we can REPEAT :btu:

forecast looks good for the weekend.

as hilary would say, let's make it happen!

I have this weird anxious twitchy feeling in my tummy.. it will not go away till I get to the canal tonight...

Its been a lucky day... hit $100 two times on tickets... got Legal for lunch...

Tonight.....

totally put off my studying until Nov/dec been getting out finding fish not finding any size.

only 6 tides left, lets get after it

I was hunting for a 75#er the other night trying to put this to bed...

If I didnt get caught off guard when my drag started screaming and almost fall into the canal this morning... Im sure it would of been in the top 10.....

For the time I did fight it, it was definitely bigger than anything I had ever had on my line before.

BLAH

:splat:

Well, rumor has it that some how I am miracaluosly now in 2nd place by 4 lbs :huh::bs: Were supposed to have gone away for the weekend. Wife cancelled our plans and is makin me fish. Back is to the wall. Just picked a load of big eels. The hunt is on.........

Best of luck to all.... kill em

Time for the "60" Mike...kill 2 birds with one stone!

rob get a 50? if so, we need even more points the next few days.

Wife cancelled our plans and is makin me fish.

Thats awesome! I might get married someday if I can find a girl like that!

I'll be out again tonight and this weekend searching for one worth weighing in...

Redlite...If you want someone to bait your hook for you, let me know. You need to be fishing, not wasting time catching/hooking eels...

Go get em mike. She must have one hell of a "hunny do" list for you in the winter.

good god. What kind of woman cancels the family vacation and says "honey- go fish!" GOOD GIRL!!!

Mike - I'll carry your eels - let me know :tooth:

swim to rock....cast........:smokin: nice work brake lite mike:faga:

landed this fatty last night for a new pb (36" to yellow tape),
42.5"L x 27"G = 38.72#, roughly ~using the formula.
with the +/- factor, she tops my previous 33.5 best
from last year ~~ even if i were to round down to 35#'s,,,,,,
:jump1: :jump1: :jump1:

very exciting CATCH, and it feels like i've turned a corner
so to speak, with my ability to PLAY the bigger fish.
on the same BITE there was a 39" fatgurl, C&R,,,,,,,,,,
then a 36"er for the table. 5 casts, 3 eeeeels, 3 stripers!!!
sorry about the funky angles, but i couldn't get her to fit inside
the frame, and i wanted to make a clean release.
:kewl: :kewl: :kewl:

doan know why i didn't kill it for the Tourney,
prolly because i didn't feel like it was BIG enuff.
and i truly doan believe in killing our prey, unless
it will impact the Team's totals or the family needs fish.

from what i can figure we need sum 46#'ers and UP!!
so hopefully, tonight will bring me a COW!! GO GET 'EM, MEN!!
:jump: :jump: :jump:

A few guys had fish in the high 30s from what I understand, but didn't weigh them in. Since you can only weigh one fish a week, weighing it would have shut you out for good.

Second through fifth get plaques, and we're not likely to even slip out of second. There's no reason to weigh a fish in unless it adds substantially to our score. If you want a pin, measure length and girth, do the math, and submit a form for a released fish pin.

the voice of reason SPEAKS, again!!

thanks Mike P, i figured it was the right thing to do
