Hey you old infirm geezer - I'm all ears. :bshake:

Where ? :tooth:

I for one, love seeing pics of large, I am happy for them because i know how great it feels and most of the time how hard they had to work to find them...

I like seeing the Pics of large also..... Keeps the juices flowin. I never look at a pic and say anything but Wow, Nice fish. Its nice to see people doing well out there.

Since this has all turned into a lovefest, I think that cnalman and dave should invite me along tonight :love: :love: :rotf3: :rotf3:

Just kiddin guys good luck guys

:call: ........................

Classic....just classic.....I can see Eben right now wiggling those hips to "Staying Alive"....... :jump:

"When I caught my 50 I opened my big mouth and he still holds it against me that the spot has become so heavily fished, I regret it all the time."

AS IF HE SHOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT!!!

I like to see people with some pictures of their catches and their stories, but nothing specific. I find it amusing to hear about their adventures. Besides, those cow pictures keep me going.

I agree....I love to look at pics as well...and I will admit getting jealous of seeing people catching nice fish when I am not.....however..it's that same feeling that makes me want one even more, makes me try harder, fish harder and longer.....I fish alone 99% of the time...not because I want to, but because it's hard for me to find guys to fish with sometimes...but that wont stop me from going out there everytime I can to get me my own cow...it will happen...and it will feel that much better when it does...

It's too bad that a few guys will ruin it for everyone else.....I love to look at large!!

I saw a post on another site that asked if there was any action in the North river or is it over for the season. Pretty funny!

Until the day I die, my goal is to stay alive. Survival of the fit, only the strong survive. :devil:

Well said #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& :claps:

I'm also happy to see other peoples fish. As you can see by my number of posts I'm not exactly a seasoned vetern here. I would be lying if I said I joined this site simply for info. I like the interaction of "fish talk" and not revealing spots and posting your catchs is one of the main reasons this site exists.

If I'm fishing with a friend and we both hook up at the same time. I honestly hope that his fish is bigger than mine. This may be due to the fact that I don't catch "cows" often, so big fish are all good to me even if its not on my line. (like when my sister caught a 38 inch bass last year and I caught blue fish and sea robins)

I live for fishing and when you are 200 miles from the ocean sometimes fishporn is all ya get.

Good thing it wasn't some of the old timers. We would have pushed them into the water.

I knew many of the "old timers" they wouldent have pushed anyone in the water, in fact..Gill G, jack sunday, tony bucci,bob ward, all those guys taught me alot they were never rude........

That was a pretty funny story. I don’t feel bad for them, though. 5-6 hours of catching bloos beats my day yesterday by a long shot.

Keep the pictures coming.

There is something to be said about not making any conversation on the rocks and out of habit I stay off a spot if there are people there, especially Newbies and or chunkers, nothing against either, but regardless our fishing styles probably arent going to jive, so I keep away as much as possible;
on the rocks I am far from a surf sharpie; I do pretty well from a boat and hit it hard and do OK from the surf, but I love being out there on the rocks of sand at night..... I enjoy the solitude, the quiet; there are a handfull of guys I fish with, some more than others, it is always fun, but rarely do we stand shoulder to shoulder fishing, you chat on the walk in and the walk out; the rest of the night, go fish...
My habit is to walk by people I dont know, does it make me rude? maybe no news is bad news or vise versa, but I'll stick to my stealth mode

who knows, you may inadvertanly piss someone off, then the come on here and you realize it was someone who had posted for years, or 10min later they realize they'd been had and tires are popped etc.. there are alot of wack jobs out there...

E; you did better then us; ask BIJ about the adventure :D too bad... they were there... just didnt get the drift figured out in time....

Here are a few of Jamie Ms spots.... he wants to share, so everyone should fish there :hihi:

Eben, Awesome Thanx.....Much Appreciated :kewl: :hihi:


Being from the Lowell area I have many a friend that likes to Fish. I'll see if I can get a big group together for the trip. Jamie M What kind of beer do you drink? I want to make sure we bring enough. Are those places Kid friendly...I got a mess of neices and nephews that will probably be coming.

:cheers:

C'mon guys, go easy.....Pretty funny though... :biglaugh:
Now let's go get some large and post pix tomorrow!!! ;)

I don't mean to knock the guy and obviously I don't know how serious he is about the sport or the amount of time he puts in but when you've been a member of a fishing board since January of '01 I don't think your considered a newbie. I know Googan is what would come to the minds of many but again I don't know, there may be circumstances that affect some and their outcome. I'm by no means a sharpie, in fact far from it. I would consider myself a hungry as defined by one of Joe's articles (Googans Vs. Sharpies). I started to get into this seriously about a year and half ago. Fortunate for me I had over 30 plus years of freshwater fishing knowledge and principles to apply. There was still a learning curve but like many I read some of the right books, watch some fishing shows or videos and asked questions from those I know had the answers and were willing to divulge what most consider secret, treasured and valuable info. But most of all I put in the time, that more than anything is what will make you successful and take you through the steps of googan, hungry and sharpie. Time and experience will be your best teachers. It's amazing how much you can learn just by watching those who are successful, though most will happen under the cloak of darkness you'll still see plenty in the evening and false dawn till just after sunrise. Aside from this I'd recommend stopping in the local B&T, tell them what your after, ask where to go and what to use, and make a purchase. That being said I need to get out more, haven't been putting in enough time this year.
