Its Over!!!!

Here' s how to play...

1. Fish must be shore caught striped bass.

2. Mass/RI/CT/ME/NH waters only.

3. Provide sufficient proof of your catch, photo preferred...no need to kill the fish.

4. NO CHEATING...I have an internal B.S. Meter that functions flawlessly...

5. Contest ends on Thanksgiving day.

6. "Grand Champion"- Largest entry by weight shall receive a Danny Pichney Conrad SR. COPY from my stash.

7."Late Champion" category- Last fish to be entered by date shall receive a 7" Danny Pichney sand eel COPY from my stash.

Plugs awarded will be similar to those pictured below. I have black, yellow, white, and sand eel for colors.

Additionally, the newer ones I just made are closer to the original specs thanks to a trusted mentor who pointed out some flaws in my first batch. I'll get pics of the new ones up once they're clear coated.

BTW:

RMARSH is our defending champion from last year with a 37# fish taken in late October.

I'm interested..but no scale :smash:

I'm interested..but no scale :smash:

Just use any commonly accepted form of measurment...hand scale, tape measure, formula, whatever...just try to get a pic if you can... I'm not giving away a new mercedes here, just a couple lures. :laugha: "Close enough" is fine by me.

If its real close I have plenty of plugs to give out in the event of a tie.

you mean now i gotta bring a camera with me:fishin: :( :smash:

I love this. Nothing begs up motivation to go fish hard like the premise that there are no fish to catch.

Danny would chit over those queah colored sparkles. ;-))

Nice looking plugs BB!

:grins: :grins: :grins:

RMARSH is our defending champion from last year with a 37# fish taken in late October.

Thanks Back Beach
Last years winning striper. It Actualy weighed 38.5lbs. 47" long

And if anyone can top it. I will throw in a vintage Habs Sr. 9" needlefish in olive/white in excellent condition.

Back Beach great idea!

Is this a lures only contest?

I'm in!

Back Beach great idea!

Is this a lures only contest?

I'm in!


Sure, if you want to fish lures only, go ahead :tooth:

IN :alien:

You should have a sweetwater extravaganza too. BB made Zara Spook or Humungo swimbait

bought the Habs tic, wife and I got bad news so I did the right thing and spent the w/e with my love. this w/e I will be on the rough shoreline, I always look for a patner, i;m in Gansett

I'm in from the canal region.

No need to turn this into another "I'm in" thread....everyone is automatically in, just put up a fish and have fun with it...:btu:

21 posts on this thread and no fish yet? Did everyone quit? Figured Numbskull for at least a 16" fish by now...

Danny would chit over those queah colored sparkles. ;-))

I have some original Pickney's and he used sparkles also. (I think--I better check!). The epoxy coat actually seem better on these new ones.

Does Block Island count for the contest? I wonder if there should be a separate category considering how late the fish are out there...

Block=RI...its in bounds without a doubt.

Caught this morning. 42" 27lbs from what my boga told me. I hope she holds the top spot! :jump1:

ps she's my new PB

attaboy :btu:

:thanks:

Grega,

Seeing you have the first fish entered plus its a pb, a celebration is in order...:btu: I'll get something out to you if you can pm me your address.

nice fish!

CRAP! I was going to go get a 16" fish tonight. Now I gotta get serious. :confused:

Back Beach:

How about a special recognition for the contender fish that are C&R'd?

Is there a steelhead division too?

Alan,

No need to kill the fish by any means.(see rule #3) A picture would be good to have though...if its a picture of Numbskull be sure to block out his face or slightly blur it.

landed this beauty Sat am, down SoCo way~~~

she went 33.90# x 45" and fell to Tsunami's Deep shad,

the neon green one; bounced along the bottom,,,,,,,,,,,,,

DAWG-EEE!

DAWG-EEE!

DAWG-EEE!

:buds:

thanks, Mike~~~

am thinking of heading to yer neck of the surf.

after i keep acoupla, treeortwenty spots up here, LEGIT!!

am dieing to hook into sumthing worthy behind
this VS250 i've been generously allowed to demo.

:love: WHAT a REEEEEEEEL :love:

Nice Jess :btu:

S-B's top Dawg this weekend.

Congrats Jess, nice fish

Dawg is in da house.

nice rope.
steal it of a tug.

thanks, Gents, that was a fuuuun fish!!

i hear ya Makai,,,,,,,but, that rope is worth its weight in GOLD!
it has saved me more than once when carrying mid to upper 30# class
of linesiders outta the terrain of Cape Ann.

many times i'm more than a mile from my vehicle,
it is a "Korkers required" jaunt most of the time. couple that with
two rods, a loaded back pack, a large surf bag, and an eel cooler.

plus the thickness of the rope prevents anything lahhhhge from
cutting off the circulation of blood to my fingers/shoulders by the time
i can get them to the limited access point~~ however far it may be.

nice fish dawg


great year your having here jess

Thank You, Jim!

i'm grateful for the catches and had a BLAST fishing with everyone last w/e and during the HABS the w/e before!

seems like alot of folks have landed their pb's and are also having great years.

thanks be to God for the health of the Stock's biomass, for plentiful inshore forage, and for the treasures of His Glorious bounty~~~ be they ocean, species, or this Life to be filled by His Spirit!

it was good to sea you at The Fest. when do ya get sworn in, m'man? just wonderin',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
will the badge give you the lisence to kill SEALS :huh: :bl: :huh:

one can only hope! and here's hoping you'll have a shot at the surf soon,
while the mullet are still around!!
:fishin: :fishin: :fishin:

Somebody post a fish. I need encouragement. We don't want no plugs going to the Dawg's this easy.

I 'm trying George.
All within the last week and a half.
Couldn't revive these two out of three , the plugs were in the gills so I set my folks up with some meals for the winter. I don't carry a scale, The rope fish was almost 45". Sand fish 41 " Bike fish 41 "
Arrgh I may have to start using bait, as that would make me a charlatan.

Nice ones Bob, you may be in the running for the top secret "Numbskull" award.

EXCELLENT work, Makai!!

and doan think i'm not out there trying to upgrade my feesh~~~

when the heat wave hits next week,,,,,,,,,,,,we'll be approaching Nov's New and that 45" will get CRUSHED!!! s'pose there's any room on the slow boat to tha VNYUD??
:bl: :bl: :bl:

as luck would have it, i also will be helping my Mom mooove some storage items down in NPT on the backside of the New. prolly gonna be too late by then,,,,,,,,,since, as you WELL know~~~ "It's Over"!!
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

:rotf2: :rotf2: :rotf2:

Not sure I 'll be bass fishing much now. It's the tuna and cod show for the next few weeks as long as the weather is ok.
Maybe sneak in a R.I. trip with Tedy Tours.:uhuh:

P.S. some of the biggest bass I've seen came from the backside late fall, you may only get one ,but it would be worth it.

Be careful Makai,I see a burn on that canal bike in your future.Black out the make and model or everyone will go to the ditch and try to fish near that fishfinder.

landed this beauty Sat am, down SoCo way~~~

she went 33.90# x 45" and fell to Tsunami's Deep shad,

the neon green one; bounced along the bottom,,,,,,,,,,,,,

that's a huge head for a 30# fish. congrats. prop would've went 35+ if she was full. what did she have in her?

Jess, great fish. You deserve it as you put your time in this year.

Thanks, MB and Paul~~~

dunno, MassBass,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i gave it to Vic, but she "felt" empty.



YUP, piemma,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,still doooooin' it, am hopeful for an upgrade or 2??
:fishin: :fishin: :fishin:

Sounds like alotta fun. Tight lines and Good Luck to everyone. I know that I'm gonna need it!

Got a 30# the other night and lost a real decent one. I got hung up a couple of times and didn't bother checking my braid. I think it may have been frayed. I'll be out looking again tonight.

Didn't bother checking your braid? I'd say I feel bad for you for losing a nice one, but after the tight drag comment last week, I feel kinda happy.:rotf2:



Just kidding, you'll get another one better than the one you lost before you hang it up for the season.

hard tellin',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT knowin'!!

hooked into either sumthing VERRRY Lahhhge
out in the middle, at the beginning of the Drop~~~

that took line, stayed Low,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

4 "runs",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OR; it prolly was the bottom.

that is IF the bottom can take line?? if it wasn't the bottom~~~

then it was SHAMU and she wasn't budging!!!
:wall: :wall: :confused: :confused: :wall: :wall:

The other night I was fishing with Tony Stetzko and KarlF and catching cows one after another. there were guys around the corner into bass so thick they were clubbing them. I didn't bring a camera as usual.
then I woke up

upon further reflection,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i'm calling IT a lobster pot, unseen.

WHY? it just never definitively felt like a feesh!!
felt dead and only moved slightly under max pressure~~~

i've only hooked up twice in the River of Two Flows,,,,,,,,,

so, i doan really know what it's like to land one THERE.

certainly different, i'd imagine, and you should've seen ALL the old timers stopping their drifts.
one dood came to give me moral support, and then left,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,talked to a fine gentleman on the way out.
he told me about how the bigguns like to hug the ledge/shelf where the drop-off is. that there's Monstahs in there. he wasn't shore either~~~

and so it goes,,,,,,,,,,,,,fish and learn, and only time and tides will tell.
this week should be GOOOOOD! go get 'em, Gents!!!
:jump1: :jump1: :jump1:

Just want you to know I'm out there trying to beat your azz, BD. Do 12 four lb fish count?.

LAND you sum LAHHHHHHHGE!!!!

just so ya know, Geohhhhh~~~

i'm out there trying to beat my azz, ALSO.

with this week's heat, the plethora of bait around, and
a coming storm,,,,,,,,,,,,it is STILL anycaster's plug(s) to WIN!!
:fishin: :fishin: :fishin:

Landed this gal on Block sunday night. Bottomed out the 30 boga quick. Measured after the release to a mark on my rod. 45.5", fat fish in my opinion. The only real scale to the pic is a VS 200, the rod is 11', 27" to the center of reel seat. She slammed an eel. The rest of the week was a slow pick of fish, average size was about 15 lbs. A lot in the 17-18 lb range. I manged two others above 20, one was 22 the other 26, all the first night.

Nice fish!

Reel nice fish

Nice fish Rob

Nice going, Rob!

You guys(Dawg,Makai,Rob) are effin killing me with the 45" fish...:laugha: tough to make a call here on who has the lead. Dawg's got the official slip, but I did say close enough is good by me if you choose to release your fish. Everyone has length and a picture so I trust you are all upstanding members of S-B and honest men to boot...

I'm declaring it a three way tie...:rumble:

Maybe we'll arm wrestle for the championship if it ends deadlocked...Makai's a biiiiiiig dude, but the Dawg's got paws and forearms of steel....stay tuned...

Don't give out prizes just yet, it's far from over

Im going to give it another good shot next weekend.

I caught this one the day before this thread was started. It was just shy of 46" and bottomed out the 30# scale.

I'm not making any declarations until it's over, which is almost four weeks away.

Currently, we have a three way tie.

and thank you for your integrity,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This has been a year of big fish. Nice to see them still around. One cool thing about fishing on block is that i got a wide size range of fish. From 14" up to large. It was the first time this season that i saw a good mix of fish.

Mike, my fish was as I said almost 45 inch, didn't quite get there . But I'm officially done.
The last few weeks I have been going as much as I can, no sleep, no good food, the dog thinks I am a stranger. I'm unclean, unkept, unwanted and unloved. Time to get my life back.
I did get a lot of nice fish, all on lures but it seems no one cares but me.
Good luck Rob and Dawg.
How about I referee a drinking contest between them. :buds:
32 yrs bartending makes me a good judge, jury and executioner.

i appreciate your honesty, and

:bl: :bl: :bl:

i hear ya about the "un-ness" of chasing big gurls,
a recent move has sidelined me for the past few days;

yet, i hope to get out there for this New.
prolly hit Li'l Rhody, the Harbor, and perhaps The Ditch.

the water's mighty COLD up the NShore and it has been vacant of late. was thinkin' that the Block Contingent might've posted sumthin'??

only time and tides will tell, 3 weeks LEFT~~~
good luck to ALL those that are still out there, in the surf!!

There will be a prize(pichney straight eely copy and salty lures) awarded for the last fish entered prior to the ending date, which is 11/25.

Hmmm... didn't know about that last fish prize. I landed a 36.5" fish Thursday, Oct. 28.

Will you accept that Makai can confirm the measurement?

JD, it's a prize for the last fish entered before November 25th. There will surely be plenty of more fish caught during November.

Says who? I didn't see any pictures or people to vouch. :deadhorse:

I never bothered to measure her, but she weighed in at 31lbs.

A witness can confirm, if needed.


Dang, was it cold out there.... :uhuh:

In case some of you did not receive this PM due to being over your PM quota, I will post what "BackBeach" PM'd those of us still fishing.

Beauty of a fish, nice job. Must have been cold out there. We had a good frost yesterday morn here in Lakeville. I have not been out in a week, although I did check out the canal from the path before work this week a few times but rod never left the truck. I wanted so much to get out in the tin boat off of Gooseberry yesterday with that calm wind but work for the first time in a long time got in the way. Looks like we got some nice weather coming next week so I have not given up yet.:smash:

It ain't no 30 lbs, but it is better than nothing, and at least proof that there are still fish to be had in MA.

Awesome, George..:btu:

Friend of mine got into a big bass in a river on the South Shore the other night. Fish broke him off.

Very nice fish on a good looking plug. I really need to branch out with my plug color selection.

Something tells me Numby is gonna miss Thanksgiving dinner this year...

got a feeling G.will best himself tonight as I am a few miles north of him at work and it is nice and warm out right now with a stiff onshore breeze. Bet he gets a good one tonight. Sorry if I jinx you.

why does it end tonight at midnight? that's too early

Bonus time granted...we will play until kickoff...

thanks :)
but struck out

Here's the decision(s)..

It was a close and hard fought battle between three of S-B's finest men, but there can only be one grand champion. BassDawg did have the only official weight slip so I used that as a tie breaker seeing it was very close. I congradulate Rob and Makai for their catches and am declaring them runners up. I will award them conrads also.

1. BassDawg is our grand champion...congrats Jess! You have a conrad sr and the Salty tins coming.

2. Rob Rockcrawler and Makai are runners up and both of them have conrad sr's coming.

3. Bigwavedave takes the "late" championship and gets the eely in addition to the Salty tins.

Congrats to the winners and thanks for participating. Keep an eye out for our second annual "It's On" contest next spring.

Mike I'll send those down to you on Monday and you can send with the lures.

Congrats all!

Special thanks to Salty for contributing the extra treats :btu:

Cool, thanks Back Beach for making this happen. It added a bit of excitement to the fall run. Congrats to all those who hooked up, it was a funny fall. Is it just me or did it seem to go by awfully quick this year?

THANKS, Mike and Scott for the hardware!!

that was a fuuuun Tournament, and what a BLAST that night was fishing with some old SoCo friends and sum New ones from the Left Coast. CONGRATS to Rob, Makai, and bwDave as well!!

definitely went by quickly for us NShorians~~~

the RUN in RI was brutal from a wind and surf standpoint!

tough fishing and offshore howls made most blitzes unreachable,
or at least when i was down there, missed the Mon~Wed Run that happened in early November by one night :wall: :wall: :wall:

was a decent year for the limited amount of times i was able to fish.
no NEW pb, except for a wood pb ~thanks to BB's blk/silver conrad.
:uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh:

Maybe now you can cross over to the dark side and become a lure junkie.

Thanks for putting this on Mike it was fun, congrats to the winners

i hear ya Makai; yet, that all depends,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

do you consider riggies, lures??

if so, then that jones took over this year!!

i fished rigged eeels almost exclusively from Sept's New forward.
landed a 38.85 on a rigged eel, which is a pb for rigg ed snakes!!!

wanted to sea the difference between them and live ones in response to one of Numby's earlier Springtime threads. i didn't alternate enuff during outings this year, but i do have evidence from previous years.

and my numbers indicate LIVE in first, with riggies a close second for lahhhge. only an AH herring spook comes close @ 48", three Falls ago,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i will give lures a greater number of tries next year, and have decided to even fish them at night, instead of solely thru the three lights.

do swim shads count as lures, or is that not AYCedary enuff??
:bl: :bl: :bl:

Just me,
But I get more satisfaction from artificials than bait. A Zen thing I suppose.
Though I have no problem hitting the easy button and dipping in the eel bucket if that's what it takes.

Riggies are as much a "lure" as when we troll butterflied pogies.
If it's bio- degradable it's bait.

Congratulations btw.

Congrats to the winners!!!
