Oh yeh - and don't post .BMP files (also known as bitmaps) - only use Optimized JPG or GIF files...

Thanks...

hey john which end of the rod is pointed to the water :D :D :D

I'd swear we saw striper sniper today near that Coast Gaurd House as we headed north from Hazard Ave along Ocean Dr.

yeah well I have been fishing for 23 years if you want to get technical.......the problem with fishing for A REALLY LONG time like that????? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: .............most of it was following in my fathers steps.........did I know how to do things on my own??? NOPE! couldnt even tie a flipping knot myself...!!!!! so how many years have I been fishing with my own expertise????? just a handful really.....do I or any one else think you have been fishing a long time??? NO! and the fact is you havent......so stop typing and start reading....read the many archives of posts here.....99% of your questions shall be answered...so get to work. (oh and yes you do ask a lot of ??? for someone who isnt learning how to fish,,,,but already knows how to fish)

In fact...the only thing I DO know about fishing for sure is that unless you are "still learning" you arent truly a fisherman!

I know this guy who is 65 years old and was probably born with a largemouth in his hand.....those that pay attention to him while he is fishing are amazed by his ability,,,,,you know what ????? HE IS STILL LEARNING!!!!! and he will be the first to tell you that!


my point is that your questions often go over the egde of "help" and onto the platter of "pour all your best info on the table so I can run right out and catch big fish"....this is exactly why many here are annoyed by these questions.....so keep reading and learning by dont ask people to spill their guts about their hard learned lessons....PERIOD.

another thing.....I know this is a little direct....but its meant to be...because your just not getting it any other way......you are young....that is not why people are so hard on you....its because you are excessive in all that you do here.......its getting really old really fast (ans we would feel the same if you were 50) I know your going to try and tear me apart on this one....and I dont care....why???? because I will not respond again to this nonsense......any emails or pm's will be deleted without opening etc......in fact I wouldnt be suprised if John edits this just to keep the peace (hes VERY tolerant and I respect that ...but I dont know how he can do it):rolleyes:

last but not least it is in your best interest to listen to my advice .......to have a long time with this site is to be priveledged enough to have an instant group of great anglers and good caring decent people at your computer every day and to sometimes get the opportunity to fish with and learn a great deal from........for your sake I hope you dont screw that up..... and DONT "dis" any one whom is well liked around here......that will certainly get you know where fast (yes you have your right to whom you like and dislike...but keep it to your self)



so go figure out your own tide , go fishing, figure out the hard way that you had fished the wrong tide, threw the wrong plug , the fish were 20 yards from you and you missed them , etc etc etc..........repeat until your ready to kill someone for a fish.....and then when it finally happens and you have everything just so........tell me how you feel?????? and will YOU give all that info away to any tom #^&#^&#^&#^& or harry who asks????? I didnt think so (although you will most likely respond amd say "of course I would" )

good bye

JENN ===PMS????

I'd swear we saw striper sniper today near that Coast Gaurd House as we headed north from Hazard Ave along Ocean Dr-------------------------------Which way was his rod pointing?

Up in the air
:D
he was yaking with someone

Nah - you go girl :laughs:

Joeangler - the SKINNY end goes towards the water

Clammer - no problem - still OK to lose some gas? http://www.striped-bass.com/images/new/fart.gif OK - that was childish of me, I'm sorry :laughs:

Yea Striper sniper and I were fishing at the Coast gaurd house today.....We saw a few people and hollared out "S-B.com" or sotim to see if they looked....Nobody ended up looking except for a few old people that musta thought we were crazy...:p

We didn't get any fish but I may be able to go next Saturday....If anyone is there well probably be at the coast gaurd house......
Anyone know any good lures over there?/ There were tons of brown birds smashing head on into the water i guess for bait.....Some guy and his kid (who happened to have the same exact reel and line as I had) told me to look for the white seagulls and where they were heading....
I ended up spotting a small blitz but SSX and I were very careful over the rocks, and we didnt carelessly run over there, I was too smart for that, by the time we got there I figured it would be over, It only lasted for a few seconds, but piles of bait leaped into the air and a bunch of gulls rushed to the scene.....:eek:
Can't wait to go back!!!!
BTW, SSX had a pair of yellow plastic overall things and I had a yellow boat jacket if you saw us....:cool:

Hey StarsNStripers,

I think I saw you guys down at Narragansett beach at around noon time or so. I saw a couple young kids with yellow rain jacket type gear so it sounds like you guys! I fished that area for about 2 1/2 hours and got a nice 14lber and dropped another. I was the dude in his early 20's with brown waders, green jacket and had on a ski cap/ sun glasses on In case you saw me. Got my biggest of my short fishing career at Scarborogh beach later in the day. A nice 18lber:happy: I must have made 300 casts today to get those fish but it was worth it. Good luck with your fishing,

was there yesterday
 

couldnt help but see those guys was driving by cg house seen these two kids geared out to the max the fish were there a little far out beautiful beaches in RI i really liked that charlestown breachway never seen so many birds hitting the water that was awsome site heres a little peak at what was there

YEP, sorry we didn't beep.

slip
 

what you doin home we could be there today too!!!!!

Skip N, What were u using to catch that 14 pounder near the CG house?? Was there a blitz or seagulls around, or was he just a wandering fish?? I'd like to know some productive lures to use down there..... Had no idea fish of that size were still around near shore, thought they were at those damn birds in the middle we couldn;t get to w/out a boat!!!!:af:
:happy:

SnS, a 2oz Kastmaster is a good start when the fish are feeding on Peanut Bunker. They cast far and don't require too much action on the retrieve. Watch a school of Peanuts next time you see them, theres always one flashing on its side(looks like a Kastmaster).The Storm shads are also working well now. When they're in blitz mode, I think a well placed cast is more important than what you are thowing. When I used to fish that area, My goto lure when chasing the birds was a chrome Saltwater Rattletrap. Keep at it.

The 2oz version is the one around this big? (below)

I have to be carefull, AND NICE in here from now on,, now that some of yas know what i look like and know where i fish,, i might end up, umm swimming--- with bluefish, j/k ;)

I bet you all are saying, "Pssst ,,Hey, Maybe he should go to Hazard/Newton, on an ICY day, when raining and High Surf , here SSX ,, ya can borrow my korkers" lol- j/k ;)

I had on a Yellow Coat, Black Ski-Cap, (took it off later on,tho) Rain Gear pvc Bib-Pants cause i was in the water with the green hiking back pack cause i was too lazy to carry the box

when we showed up there was 2 guys fishing the rocks at CG house, they said they where going to C-town after that...

Also seen 2 guys in a green Dodge ram 2500 w/ cap on the back and rod holders on the front around 1/2 ish? at the CG house rest , they kept looking at us,, think it was some one from here ??

Seen another guy in the surf at Narragansett when i was "wading" out, kept looking like they knew us , was an older guy with waders and old looking rod/reel ,, hmmm ;)

ALSO!!! seen some dude that came on the CG rocks and took a few cast, he helped pull my power pogy off a rock when the wind took a cast on me... (if that's one of you guys,, well , thanks!) :)


Your going again, SSX? cool, have fun -- i am going to C-town,, then Narragansett this weekend... maybe i'll see ya ;)

I took a few pictures .(have 24 left for this w/e) on a cheap $5.99 CVS camera, but i will ask for the Picture Disk when i get them..

Can't wait to get my boat in the water,, i know it needs paint,, that's about it tho- so that's about $200 for it, already have primer and all that,, so i will shovel drive-ways again this winter (made $60 in 2 hours last big snow-fall) looks like snow weds, hope it's enough ... :)
(i know no one cares,, ;) )


Have a good one!

SNS,

I was using a storm wildeye shad. It was the small shiner color ones that they make as opposed to the large bunker style ones. I've really just started to use them and have had good luck with schoolies and small blues on them. I never really fished plastics that much but after the two nice fish I got yesterday I think I am sold on them:D

Yes, I was talking to a coulpe guys down at the beach so It might have been me that you saw.

i see

Well i was Wading in the water wearing all yellow (yellow rain pants) at first i just had on the bib pants and a blue shirt, then i got cold,, so i don't know

Ya, you were Leaning up against the wall holding your rod ?
If that was you, we were right there in the water about 30' from there.. ,, with the back pack & tackle bag sitting there on the beach ....

< bout 5'9'' ish,, 15 y/o if you see me next time, come over and say hi,, would be nice to meet anyone from here :)

see yas!
