GB, you never answered my schoolie pole question, i have pretty high criteria...

Sorry iceman but I have to go for a few minutes. One of my customers just called and he wants to start a house in Fairhaven tomorrow and needs the lumber out there in the am. No plans just go down and measure up the foundation and go from there!!Yea right guess thats what I like about this job you never know. SEE YA on54

GB, no problem, Fair Haven as in New Haven - that's where I grew up? Are we talking the same Haven? Could use a Pepe's pizza right now....

Ice

BAMMM!!!! ......ya just got Cross-checked ICE!! :D

.....your off base a little .....ICE.........Fairhaven isn't in Conn.....well not the FairHaven....GBs' talkin bout......its a 20 minuter boatride to the famous Cuttyhunk Island.....

Hey ice what about a St. Croix TS70MHF Inshore for schoolies? Pair that with a Shimano Stradic 4000 and you have a killer schoolie combo!!!!!!!!! The rod handles from 1/2 to 1 1/2oz 10 to 20lb line 7ft with a fast action MH.

What do you think?

Wish I could hang out fellas.......:mad:


Duty calls......I'm off to bring my Godchild to skating class!


.....Iceman should appreciate that...:D

catch ya later bloo!

That combo I metioned above would be perfect IMO lets see what others come up with as well but the St. Croix Inshore TS70MHF paired with a Shimano Stradic 4000 can't be beat for the price!

BAMMM!!!! to Bloo "Emirill" Crab... Cross - checked LMAO...

Ice - yer scaring me with yer hockey, you playing with these guys or dreamin' about it? That's what Liam is going to play when he's older ;) - hockey

I know what you mean about Gwenyth being the best V-Day gift you could ever get your wife. Liam was the same for TheBetterHalf last year but this year I gotts ta produce :eek: ... Wait until she's a few months older, even more fun and less outright fear that you'll drop her on her head or something...

GB - It's not that the Penns are out of favor these days. It's more that they aren't the only affordable game in town anymore. They also have not exactly been at the forefront of the technological advancement of the reel in recent years. But they do work and most of the models are pretty solid...

New Haven, that's like 20 minutes from the famous Leetes Islands, right? Sorry, I'll take Cuttyhunk :D :D :D

Ice if you are looking for a real light rig and some great fun try the one I bought last year at Bucos it a ST.CROIX 7' lite power mod-fast action scII graphite BEN DOERR SURF SYSTEM/ss70L and I put a Shimano 4000fg on it. This rig is so light you feel like your not holding a rod and reel at all. Great for schoolies and (small blues).See John I do have some reels other than Penns also the 5000fg on a 8' BEN DOERR SURF

Thats it I leave for an hour and every one comes and goes or is it me:eek: Do I stink that bad today????

Hey whats the poo poo on New haven fishing? I believe the biggest striper caught anywhere in the last 10 years was from New Haven harbor??

john may need some help on the size of this. kinda windy today

John whats with the ratings we had 4 yellow stars then 3 and now its back to 4 how does that work???

Red thats one of my favorite spots off to the right of the picture 200 yards back of the spindal. Got a 32# there Oct 13 trolling a white and red 6" shad .

bet i know right where you were, theres a break in the bottom that is pretty consistant when your right on it

these were taken about 2 hours ago

patriots ralley in providence on channel 12 right now

That was the best duck hunting spot on the east coast 30 years ago you would have to duck ha ha ha and get out of the way as the flock would come down from up north. I spent alot of nights trying to get my waders dried out in time for the next morn. hunt back then.

love thoses pics keepem comin

Red you are right on the money and with the gps on the boat its not to hard to be right on the spot. I picked up Maptech's cd with Buzzards Bay, Cape cod's south shore and the Islands NOAA charts and coastal photos and maps. I pulled out all the old hot spots I use to fish and put the long/lad into my gps and can't wait to get out there and try it out. Are you up for some fishing in the boat just around the corner from gooseberry at the pond opening???

Goose bet you know all those spots in the pic RED posted don't ya

don't we all. Ever checkout skypics in buzzards bay nice shots that spot.I personally like southeast corner.

Gb ever fish hacker, good workout every time i go

Goose I started fishing again last year after not doing much for 18 years and I can't believe the blue that where at hacker st last may 1st. Used to be the blues did not show up till first of June now its May and you can't miss over there.
