I have no idea who told who , etc in this particular case. . I do know Bill that you , like me , don't need anyone to show them fishing spots in RI. Once you have put in enough time to know the entire coast , there simply are no more secret spots.

BTW , I remember when you and I rattled off some 60 , 70 or whatever number of spots all across the state from Naps to Little Compton one offseason when this site first started.

Anyway , I am sure that not even all the fishing spots put together is worth losing a friend over.

even worse than spot burning is to say spence is right :gorez:

useless?! We just discovered that Carmen Electra has your name tattoed on her ass! This is big news :love:

Isn't this twice now in just a few weeks? Dude, you're coming around :smokin:

Bill, you may have a point...but that's not the point. Being ubiquitous simply means you could be a suspect in every crime regardless of your alibi.

-spence

When you see your bud in your spot with someone eles,,it feels almost as bad as when you catch your wife cheating on you .. You can get another wife .. good fishing spots are hard to come by ..

Well its still just a fish, and acually all this controversy does nothing but help me, Tim Coleman once said to me..."Doesnt matter good or bad, the point is there talking" And just like you I really dont care at all, I am still gonna do what I want when I want and catch fish simple as that.......and I am sure this will just add to the view of the shows!

Spence????:shocked: I am starting to lose your train of thought...Help...so now I am a criminal??? who has commited crimes? yikes...:jester:

even better is when that happens you out fish them right in front of there face:D

Hey Tony...I feel this longing to spill the beans and tell you all the places I fish, not because you care or I care but Just because I want to!:rotf2:


Think I may PM you soon:rotf2:

tim coleman also once said, "#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, come out to Naps. we've been getting fish in the 40lb. range." and thus, the legend of the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& was born....

Acually he did coin the nickname, but Naps was all on my own! I am sure he didnt like that but again thats the game...and the rest is history...:hihi:

Much of the problem is that there are only so many spots, if you fish enough, you are bound to fish on someone else's...so called spot. First of..No one owns a SPOT...This land is OUR land, we all have the right to fish where ever we want to.. I fish hundreds of different spots and have been for probably 25 years, boat and shore..Are they all my SPOTS..NO!...Do I get pissed when I see someone else fishing it...Not really..I may just pass it up and come back to it when it's less crowded..Bruce, the spot I think you speak of (haven't seen the show yet) is a spot I fished 20 years ago..Do I claim it to be my spot? NO, I'm sure many others have fished it way b4 I did. Who cares who is fishing what spot, fish have fins...It's more so about the fisherman who can trick the fish, not so much the SPOT. I got over the Spot thing along time ago, now I just like to respect another's space and hope everyone does the same for me. Just my opinion on the whole Spot thing.

Now THAT if funny:laugha: Hope your not serious though..:rollem::jester:

Now that is too funny

WOW!!! How the heck did you do that? I'm pretty good with PhotoShop but that's unbelievable. She really does have #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& tattoed on her ass.

Thank you NEBE...Thats the best gift I have ever gotton!:kewl:

But you just burned my favorite spot!

:jester::jester::jester::lm::jester::jester::

Thank you #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& for brightening our Winter. leave it to you. Things have been so boring I took up knitting until this thread started. Boy and I glad you are back!!!!:laugha::laugha:

Just a quick stint...acually thank parker23...:kewl:

As an aside, I actually took the time to watch the videos of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& live lining pogies that are causing all the fuss.

I've never actually live lined a live bunker from a boat before, and was more than a bit unimpressed by the technique.

Seems more like a novelty than fishing.

You're snagging bunker in so thick a treble zipped through the water will produce over and over again. If you get thirsty, there's a vending machine on the dock about 20 yards away.

You motor to the GPS coordinates Parker's "friend" emailed you that morning.

Then you drop it in the water (or if you're an old salt give it a toss) and let it swim around for a while.

Eventually, a bass who's probably starving (because all the bunker she'd like to have eaten are already in your live well) is tricked (suckered really) into the take about 10-20 feet from your boat. It must be what, a full dozen or two cranks of the reel to bring her boatside?

And this is a sport?

:bshake:

How does a guy who only has 40+ posts and is more lurker than anything on this site end up getting thrown in the middle of this?

I have only a couple of things to say-- I certainly have a lot of respect for #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Clammer, Jim White, and anyone who else who has put as many hours on the bay as they have. Any advice, info they are willing to pass onto me I welcome with open arms. While I do not know many of you guys I would be excited to establish friendships/fish with any and all of you.

I also consider Parker23 a good friend and have gotten to know him over the past two summers--so I can certainly understand his reaction--and I initially had the same one.

However, I can also see the other side--a spot is only a spot. It takes good conditions, the right bait and timing to have an epic day like the one in the video. In this particular case I think the number of people who are able to recognize those spots from the video are relatively few.

The number of people who have access by boat even fewer.

The number of people who will take the time to find the pogies and fish the spot at the right time even fewer.

I could not be where I am today as a fisherman in RI (I have a LONG way to go) without the helping hands of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Clammer, or Parker23 and I am grateful.

Jonas

Jonas! I am sorry for bringing you into to this, I only wanted to say what happened and the truth is what I said..Your a great guy and if I did not think so You would know it...I apreciate your honesty here and you know or should know I am always willing to help you if you need it...What I said was not personall just clearing the air as to what went down...

Acually when you first saw clammer and I , you kind of ended up doing well in that spot this year...however, you never saw us there again! it just shows that fish swim and move and its ok to fish other places and I am certain you told Bruce about it thats natural, also you posted a picture here with your wife who caught fish, I knew EXACTLY where you were , did I make a fuss? and accuse you of anything? Nope....because it dosent matter at all...Anyway, sorry for dragging you in but the truth is the truth..On this one bruce is way way over the top...

Plus you guys have larger, faster boats than me..its easy for you to muscle me right out!:jester:

Anyway, your always welcome to any advice I can give you Jonas!

Bill

Ohhhh no another box:lurk:

now that is more funnier than anything I could have cum up with .

but I have been to that spot too just didnt tag it with my name .

It's not that easy Spence...:hidin:

Holy Sh!t..I didn't even see that..Now THAT is ^%$#@ funny stuff..

parker23- words to live by-
don't trust anyone
- especially someone who is celebrity. Once someone reaches rockstar status, they maintain it at all costs, even if doing so is immorral and down right underhanded. The price of being a hero is steep and the casualties are many. You got caught by the wrong guy and it hurts, suck it up and learn from your mistake. Once again-
DON'T TRUST ANYBODY

Actually isnt it more like taking your buddy home with you to sleep with your wife and then getting mad at him becase he went back for more?

Are you serious? What a crappy way to live. I really hope you're kidding, because that must be a tough way to live...

I'd rather believe that people are good and get burned every once in a while than live life not trusting anyone.

I hope you're joking.

NJ is one big explosion.

Well this was fun.

Actually, Carmen was really pretty good :rotf2:

The sad part is he isnt...its way out of line and what he said again in the right eyes speaks for itself...I am nothing of what he says....no way not at all...but hey, I get tired of defending it...Never have I burned anyone in my fishing life never! I am sure at least some will agree with that...Incredible , I dont even know this guy and he make assumptions...anyway, to me its like everything else...it REAKS of jealousy...I cannot state enough how upset that gets me....I never burned anyone anytime anyplace...just not my style..I have always found my own fish and I am proud of it...

I cant fathom what this post has become! its madness, I posted a tv show that was already seen by many, simply for enjoyment for the people here who may not have seen it...and it turns to this..I have no words...

Look, I wont lie, I think I paid my dues, I caught the fish I say I caught, I am proud of it...2 50s and a 60 is something I am very proud of....I never said I was a "celebrity" never...My seminars were and are always humble, I give the most info I can to help people in an honest way...I realize some like me and some hate me thats the way it is and I understand that but to post complete lies? that goes over the line

anyway I am out of ways to defend myself here...what more can I say

I trust a select few people in my life, not the general public. I am a pessimist by nature, so I do not give up anything until I am 1000% positive it will not come back to bite me in the a$$. Too often people prey upon their peers for their own benefit. It happens every day, just not to me. Let me get to know you for the person you are, let me trust you, and I will give you all I have. If you get down to the numbers, I am willing to bet the majority people you meet in life would sell you down the river if it meant they would benefit from it.

Nothing.........

Tony, if I find out that you are planning to fish with ANYONE who posted on this thread, you can lose my number dude -

NO JOKE!

Judges of character
 

Didn't Carmen Electra think Dave Rodman the freaky basketball player was allright too. Oh boy, eeeeeeewwwwwwwwe.

Nice, thats why I let you drive :kewl:

:hihi:

:rotf3:

The other cheek says "Clammer was here"
