To run a spot burn prank just to make a point you risk a reliable reputation and generally the reputation of striped-bass.com as a website.

The ramifications of running a spot burn prank are many. I know if Block Island was mentioned instead of the Vineyard and I happened to be on Block at the time I would have been just a little perturbed if buggies of guys showed up to crowd the island based on some joke. If the cape or Cutty had been mentioned some of the regulars there would have been in a tizzy. I’m sure some of the regulars on the Vineyard didn’t think it was funny. So a spot burn prank has impacts beyond sending report chasers on a wild goose chase. Just something to think about.

DZ

Thats why I mentioned the Vineyard. Nobody is left there and the fishing has been sucky....ero the meat of the joke! Its true if people were paying attention there would be no confusion...people only see what they want to see!

BTW.....Vineyard was not good this am!!!:rotf2:

Redlite,
You didn't tell the whole story. I was there too
at Squibby as you came streaming thru looking for
Larry. You missed the big guys in the parking lot
with big clubs who were also looking for Bigfish.
He had better get his mojo back in good order soon.
PS Hit the fish BIG TIME/.:smash:

eelskimmer 10-21-2010 10:39 AM

Oh My God I just burned a spot.

Rockfish9 10-21-2010 11:12 AM

I personaly LOVE it... if one wants to fish than go fish...dont wait until you see someone post that the bite is on...most reports are not worth the paper they are typed on or the time that it takes to type them... I cannot count the nights I have caught bass... big bass.. until my arms ached, when all the plum Island reports said the fishing sucks... those in the know, NEVER talk about hot fishing over the net... or even in public.... most only tell a few select friends.. and only then after they have them under penalty of death... most of the sharpies I know would give up their wives before they give up a fishing spot that is producing..... if someone actualy went out to the vinyard on a hot fishing post.. I hope you enjoyed yourself... fishing isn't always about catching fish... my best night ever was a night i got skunked... it was something special about that night.. the solotude... just the feeling of being alive.. I hated to see the sun come up... that was over 30 years ago... I remember it like it was yesterday......it didnt take alot of common sense to know it was a Big Fish Sham.... an awesome one at that!

Absolutely shameless. A pathetic slut.


I understand DZ, but your point isn't valid when after reading the Stripermaniac's spot burn post, andthen Larrys parody and everything becomes crystal clear.

Besides I find it hard to imagine Ron fishing the canal. On the Vineyard I only saw him kibbitzing on the Wharf with the rest of the rats.

I will say this Ron took the time to attend a televised public at the MVC headquarters to support the fisherman/womans wharf to be built north odf the Oak Bluffs ferry dock. He and Hawkeye, Lou Zgoblicki, and Paul O'Donnall were just a few off-islanders, slash wash-ashores that were kind enough to attend.

zimmy 10-21-2010 12:57 PM

Just as an FYI... Paul S has never been to the Vineyard either :devil2::rotf2:

OLD GOAT 10-21-2010 01:57 PM

My kind of fun
 
Hey Rock -my kind of fun.
Passing someone my rod and telling them not to slack off with the pressure[hung up on bottom]and have them hold it for a couple of minutes.
Making a long tournament cast on the beach and having your line cross over a couple of dead sticking rods while the dead stickers are siting on the sand yakking away. Then giving a small yank on my line so that they think they have a nibble. They get up and take-up the slack and go back and sit down then i give a little yank and cause their clicker to sound.
AFTER THEY WISE UP I END UP BREAKING CAMP AND RUNING LIKE HECK. All in good fun when your bored

Tell them what they want to hear and they will believe
 
In the early 70s I worked at Killington, that particular year was terrible for snow it would snow then change to rain, rocks and ice everywhere. This was before snowmaking was mountainwide, at that time it was mostly on snowshed and the glades, if I remember correctly. Well anyways with our brains organically enhanced, a friend of mine and I came up with the brilliant idea of starting a rumor about the big noreaster that would start the next day and was forecasted to bring 3 feet of snow. Needless to say by the end of the day everyone in the liftline was talking about it, and it livened up all the bars that night. We laughed about that for the rest of the winter.
Probably some poor guy came up skiing and was disappointed by the conditions though. Sorry DZ, if it was you :)

Mike P 10-21-2010 04:19 PM

Look at it this way---you might have helped the SSA reduce their chronic deficit. :rotf2:

numbskull 10-21-2010 05:04 PM

The Vineyard is a poor place to fish in late October? :rollem:

tattoobob 10-21-2010 06:27 PM

Your very sly Larry, I know when I am catching fish and don't want anyone to know where I always tell them a different location

so this seems to be working for you

I hadn't thought of the ramifications for the guys already on the island. I still think the Canal spot burn with the location of the fish pinpointed was worse, though. And Larry's sales won't suffer. There are plugbuilders out there that are real a-holes and their plugs are still in high demand because they catch fish. Not only is Larry a great guy, his plugs work and fishermen know it.

Fortunately for me, the spot where I'll be tonight is virtually impossible to burn. I'll be posting all about it in mid November, hopefully with some pics.:devil2:

A) if what he did was so EZ to finger out, then why THIS thread??

B) i never said that Larry's plugs don't catch, or that he was an A$$, simply stating the dynamix of Karma,,,,,,,,

C) perfectly good products get boycotted ALL the time!


just a different take on his JOKE, these things can back-fire,,,,,,,,,,
he DID get calls, didn't he? and therein lies yer "deception" to use DZ's word. oh what tangled webs we weave~~~

32 degrees is cold enough to call it a good start even though it's a ways off...

i think saturday afternoon i will play with the snow blower though :uhuh:

hopefully the friggan fruit flies will have died.

joe the plumber 10-21-2010 08:35 PM

Just my 2 cents here.....

I believed Larry's report of a blitz on MV and even spread the word amongst those I fish with.They in turn believed me...

I do not participate on this site on a daily basis so therefore I am somewhat "out of the loop".I believed this report simply because I had no reason not to.I now know better.

For what its worth I am not angry or anything like that.Just a little disapointed because I look like a bit of a jerk in front of my fishing friends.We don't play these kind of jokes.....

Joe

BigFish 10-21-2010 08:51 PM

Lesson learned......do not follow reports! Find your fish!:uhuh:

Boy this thread turned out to be very telling???

joe the plumber 10-21-2010 08:58 PM

I never said I was following the report......

Sure was... and I learned the proper term for my condition... Organically Enhanced! That alone was worth reading all of the nuns waging their over-righteous rods at Big Fish. I have the feeling he burned any of his MOJO/Karma/JuJu a long time ago, so I am sure it is of no concern to him. :yak5:

I'm a Gibbs/Chub Creek/Rap guy, but after posting this, I am checking out the gear he makes and going to give them a try. Anyone who can rile up this many Salty Dawgs has to make a lure that riles up Salty fish! :jump1:

My spot has 6-8 people deep night after night. Maybe Big Fish can help me find a way to chase them away :wall: Think if I walked out and put a big search light on them and the water they would all go away? Or maybe I should just start selling them burgers and beer. :buds:

MV
 
I was on the Vineyard - back now to the outer cc beaches. I've had better trips and I've had worse. No fifties, forties or even thirties. But there was action. Will I hit it again? No, not this year but next year? yes I will.

The way I figure this "spot burning" thing is that by the time people hear /read of a place on fire - it's generally over by the time they get there. I do a lot of beach fishing. When I come across some action it won't stay long and moves on within an hour especially with all the seals constantly in the area. I remember reading the Friday Fishing Reports in the Boston Herald many years ago. They sure did tease you with those. So read all you want newspapers, internet and weekly magazines by the time you get there they will be gone.

Today it's just to darn cold for me. My hands spent more time in my pockets keeping warm than trying to fish. A big change from yesterday when it was great, warm sunny and no wind.

LOL Great Job Larry!! Lifes too short folks lighten up! If you went to MV and didn't get fish its not Larrys fault do your homework before you leave. Mid october is decent fishing over there just wasn't your day. Karma? I wouldn't worry Larry Karma has a sense of humor to. Boycott a good plug builder only ruins your game not his. Lighten up - got me going - not having time or $ I went to where there's no fish thats close to home and scored nicely . Will be going again this weekend all I gotta do is score some Big Fish Plugs

like comparing apples and oranges, my friend~~

there is a HUGE difference between making the choice on your own,
and the fish not being there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as opposed to

following what you were duped into believing was GOOD intell;
since, by most accounts, Larry is such a GOOD guy, GOOD builder, GOOD, GOOD, GOOOOOOD!!

i'm all for joking around and having a good time, mostly at my own expense,,,,,,,,,,,,,and generally, NOT, at the loss of others. but, that's just how we are different, i guess?

funny how Larry is completely without FAULT, applauded, and encoruaged even,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and not copable in the least.

this is the kind of MOJO i don't want,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"if you listened to my BS and got burned, then screw you! how'd that lesson feel? and next time you won't follow a report, will you? you bumbling, lame-arsed, lurking, IDIOT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you just got served and got what you and others like you deserve anyways!! get over it!!"
:bl: :bl: :bl:

i'm DONE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just my take on what went down!

Someone is just a tad touchy today.

When I was on the Vineyard for twelve days, leaving the 16th, one of the best days was the day I located in all my gear three Bigfish Prey that I hadn't seen in months. I wish I had several more to add to the seven or eight I allready own and use.
