perhaps its because of my age and what i thought would give my truck some flavor, but yes, it has many a sticker on it... figured there have got to be other people out there that have some stickers on their rides. god, ive seen beach buggies with several beach stickers for every year for the past 20 yrs on them!!!

heres my ford bronco aka the black bomber :hihi: and note the pivitol sticker of our existence on the far left (put it there because most people on 495 are passing me when im doing 75-80 and thus it may? be easier to see when ure doing 90 :btu:)

Ahhh - used to have 92 Black Bronco :hee:

I see a lot of "Fish Hard Live Long" decals out there....

That's awesome! I love the larsen's one! I have a black suburban aka the "quahog cruiser" that has a bunch of beach stickers and one from margaritaville that's pretty cool as well as the s-b sticker. I need to get some rod holders for the front bumper but I don't knwo how much I need them with a suburban.

I have seen a lot of these stickers out there...

I'll make sure to Steer way clear of that Vehicle :grins:


it lacks one thing though! that i think all S-B members should do

even though NAME tags :rolleyes:
are always promised and never remembered :doh:

AHHHH very nice idea raven. ill have to look into incorporating my name somewhere on there...

I removed all my decals. I think more than anything they give a good indication of what is inside your ride to steal. My next ride won't have a rod rack on it either. Best to fly under the radar whenever possible.

On my back window I have a SGCCCFC (Stan Gibbs Canal tournament), a VT sticker from Vermont, a SB sticker, a SOL sticker, a Ditch Trolls and a Lamiglas sticker. I had a WMVY blue lobster but it fell off.

Drivers' side cargo area window, a Habs, and a Town of Brookhaven beach sticker from my past life. Passenger side window has an All Star rods sticker.

Rear bumper, a "Save Buzzards Bay" one.

Front bumper still has my 2005 Suffolk County (LI) outer beach 4x4 permit.

AHHHH very nice idea raven. ill have to look into incorporating my name somewhere on there...

if ya throw a label on there trim the corners or else they will lift up and peel off.
=======================================
I hear ya on going incognito but i used to have a ford van ok
and i put the BEST All American hockey puck style locks on it on the inside on
all doors so that even if they broke windows and had tools they were not getting the doors open period.

Also, i do random sting operations, where i wait with my walkin tall stick in hiding waiting for a thief to even try....

with cell phone and camera in hand....:af: because i have been RIPPED blind more than once and one of these days i'm gonna catch them RED handed and they will be real SORRY.

agree, agree agreee ..... Crime ain't on the way down these days.

My Dad had one of those oval location stickers. You know Black trim white background and black letters. It was the best one I ever saw. Two Letters FU!

Luds - two schools of thought, with the fishing stickers a cop may be (or may not be :devil2:) less likely to ticket you when you are parking somewhere to go fishing, as opposed to teen drinkin'. I think, unfortunately, it is a wash either way :wall:

Might need to do stealth decals next time :lasso:

I figure if you got no bumper stickers you are hiding something.

I need some of the ones G. Carlin had on his car

:agree: always thought that way. whether fishin or bikes no need to advertise to the bad guys that they should follow my vehicle...

I have some stickers on the rear window of the pickup and a homey-made rod rack in the bed. I'm still waiting for the day I return to my truck and find the rod-rack thru my windshield :cens:...As I make my trek back to my truck, I always wonder/worry bout that.......I don't fear getting attacked, I fear having my truck stolen or damaged!! My wife would never find some of the places I hide

& - One thing I learned from some crooks I kneow, before leaving the truck...I try to make it look like I'm not hiding anything in the cab.....I try to make it real obvious that there's nothing to steal but the truck itself....

..and Johns' right, I'm SURE the stickers on my truck have saved me numerous times when parked in some..:vamp:..places.

I like the stickers, they keep me wishin I was fishin...I only put em on the glass though, not the body/bumpers :kewl:

I own and have my stickers. But only a lonely striper decal on my 94 f-150 flareside.
I use to own a 84 Bronco lifted with some beefy tires..Damn I miss her.

Good points. I do all of the above.

very true luds, and though i would never have a roof rack, i think it also depends highly on where and when you fish to have something stolen. i also have a very trusting personality because i have YET to have anything of min get stolen... owning a truck or my size these days, i have always suspected the first thing to go would be my full 32 gallon tank of gas that my hog travels with. as much as i would love to travel stealthy, i have always loved seeing cars out on the street or around the cape and islands with stickers and thus starting by putting a few on and then it grew from there. many of the spots i fish have little more than (and being honest here) a couple to a few cars of fisherman at any one point, and most of the times i may be the only truck there. sooo, if i fished in more in more populated areas, i would probably not have any stickers, but as of now nothing has happened and will hope that continues to be the case :humpty:

this was my old P/U back window
the newer one has none

stickers also help indentify individuals, which I guess can be good or bad
Good because it can help identify friendlies when you pull up to a spot, but bad because your spot could be compromised even if you never told a soul you were there! all it takes is for somebody to drive by the spot, see your car, then post it on the interblab, to use a Clammer term.

from John's suggestion

i already have a solution for that.

I sold my truck.Gas will be back to 4 bucks a gallon for summer.The stickers looked good parked in the driveway.I have been seeing a ton more "Fish hard Live long" stickers lately.

Real Vermonters don't have VT bumper stickers. They know where they live.

Exactly--that's why I don't have a CC sticker, or pay extra for a Cape and Islands license plate--they're the surest signs there are of a wash-ashore :humpty:

Everyone knows that a vehicle parked in a Canal lot at 1 AM belongs to a fisherman and might have some gear inside. That's why I only take the tackle I need to fish with, leave nothing else of value in my Jeep, and keep the doors unlocked--it's called "broken window insurance".

Real Vermonters don't have VT bumper stickers. They know where they live.

you must have a (take back vermont) sticker

OOOOOh,
I love the stickers...they have helped devalue my ride more than anything else. My pride and joy is a monstrous "I Love JUGS" sticker with a giant Bombardier sticker in the back window, Fenwick, Cuttyhunk Sportsman's Club, SB.com, Salty's, Habs, Dropkicks, etc.

Now we only need a "How many bald men like fishing" thread and I'll be in heaven.

My favorite bumper sticker of all time read "Driver Doesn't Carry Cash - He's Married".

i like the hey lefty

Me too

I wish I had a couple of stickers cuz it would help me identify my truck while shopping with Mrs. Link

I think BasicPatrick is the king of covering his rear window from his black toyota pick up he had a few years ago !

I have one and don't mind if people see,cause most of my fishing is during the week day mornings.

here's the retired FeeshMobile,

still trying to figure out if i wanna go stealth or not for '09.
and i've found that on the NShore it does help to HAVE the
stickers for the local constabulary. if they know it's one of US
more times than knot i've been able to get polite suggestions to move on,
or directions as to where to park, or "this is a warning" rather than the BOOK
and being read the riot act,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

stickers..................

I have taken all my stickers off. I had an incident 2 weeks ago when a guy actually chased me down to talk about HIS new Striper Club.

I didn't pay much attention but it was something like
"Stripebass24hoursadayandIlovethemfish.com"

Anyway he proceeded to tell me how he invented skishing and his new club is the best and he's the best and they have a rule that is ALL catch and relaese and no bunker allowed and on, and on, and on.

I finally walked away, got in my truck and left.

that's funny PAUL... i hope your bent ear is feeling better now :D

Raven:
It was crazy. The guy was out of his mind. And people wonder why I hide out on the water. The only one who really knows where I am is RIJimmy

i'm thinkin it was stripers 247

Just as Albert Einstein was sitting watching the old clock in the steeple and a bus go by....

that's where the theory of relativity popped into his head...

and when you fish.... sometimes its the smallest thing that gives you the deepest
thoughts.... you could ever have.....and it's why i fish...

guys like him - are typically run and gun and miss that beauty... it reflects off of them
like a flashlight pointed at a mirror....

I do the same...

That's not it (stripers 24/7)> it was something like that but according to this guy it's a new club/web site. All kinds of funky stuff like the no bunker by-product rule. if you belong to this org you are forbidden from taking fish oil pills as they are made from Menhaden.

Maybe I shouldn't have even brought it up. Just let it die.

Sounds like a club they'll really be lining up to join :rollem: :doh:

Those fish oil pills have lowered my cholesterol almost 100 points. I've taken statins for almost 15 years and they never got me much below 250. My last blood test, overall cholesterol was 179, with Omega 3 tabs in conjunction with statins.

my two trucks

Great news Mike. Congrats.

i have these new fish oil pills MikeP

but they are rather expensive to use for sticking one in the tail end of a plug :bl:

but the way they differ is that they have red coloration from the additive of grape, strawberry, blueberry, escobillo ( :huh: ) blackberry, cranberry ,
and pomegranate extract in them to mask the fish oil....

wishing they were cheaper... called "OMEGA Berry" product of Norway.... by Purity products

:think: Vantaal (woody) wins :btu:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!:kewl:


My old truck had the S-B sticker and a sticker of a striped bass. (funny the only pic I had of my Tacoma was on the cell phone when I had to surrender her to Toyota) Current truck has not been "updated" sticker wise yet (yes I have been draggin my feet a little).

VanStall, your a DMB fan too I see.

absolutely :btu:

I think I have one of the most reconizable vehicles around...atleast in Ma....I don't drive it much now a days hard to hide in it, but it was nice...I call it my bat mobile....now a days I roll around in a beat up 4 cylinder bruce wayne mobile

you must have a (take back vermont) sticker

"Take back Vermont" stickers are popular. But I've also seen "Take Vermont forward" which was inevitably followed by "Take Vermont from behind". I'm not kidding. LOL.

But if you are gay you have to go to mass to get married.

this thread is heading into the Gutter

how about TAKE VERMONT BY STORM

Good points. I do all of the above.I have a very small striper decal on rear window(not big on stickers on car, but couldn't resist this one from SWE), and sometimes I will put a note on dash with reason for parking- fishing- and my name and cell phone#. I have never gotten a ticket and have parked in some not so friendly places over the years. Also, I never, ever leave anything in the auto. I know alot of guys who keep ALL their gear in their vehicle. Not a good idea. It's a pain in the ass to lug your gear back and forth from house to car every trip but it may save you some problems down the line. I know of several guys who have been wiped out.

Only thing left in my vehicle while fishing are my shoes, and of course whatever my kids spill on the floor....cheez its, cookies, binkies, etc.

Im going to change what i carry in my truck this year. I have been fortunate, but have a feeling that eventually my time will come. I bought a renters policy because i was told that auto insurance wont cover fishing gear. 79.00 a year for 5k worth of goodies. I dont know how i would go about getting reimbursed for customs though.

I've never been one for over stocking my truck with extra gear period or while I'am fishing,the only thing left in my truck when Iam fishing is an empty coffee mug,work boots or flip flop's,extra shirt and a rag towle.
No crumbs,sippie cup,cookies,candy wrapers no nothing:devil2:

Leaving stuff inside is just begging for misfortune:smash:

Personal fav is "My karma ran over your dogma", but if I were on the force it would be a toss up between "I'm not tailgating, I'm drafting" and "I'm not speeding, I'm qualifying". Or maybe "Keep honking, I'm reloading".

I saw a bumper sticker once-- "kill your television" ?

I really want to get a beachcomber (wellfleet) sticker for my car

One of the funniest things I ever heard about break-ins was an old fishing partner of mine, Scott Slocum. He had this beat to crap pickup truck that didn't even have door lock that worked. One night he's parked at Deep Hole and the morons break into his truck by breaking the side window. Now remember....no locks on this truck and they break the window to get in.
Plugs all over his dashboard. 3 boxes of plugs behind the seat. What do thay steal? His FRIGGIN' cigarettes. We get back to the truck and his more pissed about the butts than the window. 2:00 AM and he wants a smoke!

Quick question, where would I get one of those S-B stickers ? Would love to advertise you guys down here !!
