But no fish entered yet??? :doh:

Caught a 25" striper on my second cast Mon night.....no picture cause I didnt think it was big...or small enough. Gonna try again tonight
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

caught a 24" striper this am at the Blue shutters. No phone with me so no pic. Not biggest nor smallest but sent her packing so all is good

My streak continues - skunked in my local surf last night. One of the very few times we've had pea soup fog all season.

Here's one for the Numbskull...16" one of a few caught at Napatree yesterday. It was a nice day to travel down from Maine.

38" on a yellow SS darter last night. Lost a larger one when the stock hook broke when I grabbed the plug. Teach me not to replace the hooks w/VMCs.

Paul - keep an eye out for the old Mustad trebles 3561Es - with cadmium plating and tinned. I still prefer these to VMCs but they're discontinued due to the cadmium. I usually find them at fishing club flea markets over the winter months.

Spent a few days on block, had a pick of fish for a couple days then the friggin vortex hit. Got an 18lber on an Afterhours needle, favorite plug out there by far. Probably the best looking fish i caught all year. Dark with that purplish glow to it.

no pic but i did get a 12" on a small numbskull darter

seems fitting

Yes - pics are required ;)

This in the lead for the Numbys?

maybe he gets special consideration for catching a Numby on a Numby?

I'm in.

3 inches of black ice 4# pickerel

FEW more

Maybe the numbskull for being a numbskull on the ice this early? It was the solid stuff though. Somebody actually had been there before me this year. Russianssss!!!

I heard someone say they were going ice fishing this weekend in MA, i thought they were crazy. Apparently not, nice fish.

Winding up? Do we need to wrap this one today and run a new one for a couple more weeks?

Winner for this one, ending today, and start a new one for a few weeks

OK - only one follow up on the starting a new one (sorry IP ;) ) so this is a wrap! Hope everyone had a little fun - time to go through the thread and figure whooze who.
