yeah ........ what else are they good for:p

does Tony know your having an affair with Bertha?

First, I want to say, this isn't to make this thread worse or better, actually I'm trying to close it but I would like to just explain a little something to all of you.

First Dave, why I was fishing that fast in a heavy current. The lure I was using was a Bagley Top Gun. It dives maybe 3 feet at most. It was daytime and I figured any fish that were in there were going to be deep. My train of thought was if I could crank it down deep and let the current keep it there, I could stay in the strike zone muh longer then if I reeled it slow. You know, if I had hooked up doing that, all of you would have been out there doing the same thing.

Second, BM, you are total loon. That's a compliment. You always make me laugh.

Now for everyone:
Up until now, I thought you guys were my friends. I admit it, I'm a moron. I never even saw it coming. I won't be posting here anymore. This isn't a "poor Patrick" speach. I'm letting you know so you can start looking for a new punching bag now. In fact, I won't be much of anywhere online. Once I get mobile, I'll be around. If you see me, your best bet is to avoid me. Know that you aren't my friend. All of you made that decision. Don't say hi, don't even talk to me. If it's important, you know where to e-mail me.

I'll be a punching bag....


BM is a goose not a loon.

I thought I was a pro:rolleyes:
Pat calm down,You know U Love it.....

On the off chance that you're serious---as your graduation quiz: deep water, fast current and you think the fish are holding deep. What should be the first thing in your bag---in fact, the only thing---you reach for?

Hint---it ain't anything with the word "Top" in its name.

So much for your instincts. I'll bet you a million dollars DaveS knows the answer.

i know. Hi Mike;)

Lets see Mike, I think me and my pal Smilin Bill would get Jiggy with it and get down brutha, get that DEEP groove thing goin. If that dont work, I'd try one of these...... OHHHHH, Forbidden Shad JIG.......

Well I decided to make one more post.

First, none of my bucktails would have held there. No way no how. That water would have required a 3 oz jig if you wanted it to sink where I thought the fish were. I've never had a need for a 3 oz jig in CT.

Second, over on SOL it tells you how many posts are in a thread.

Third, I DID go fishing tonight. I made the walk down there. A nice long walk with my waders, surfjacket, bag, side bag and my rod. I got one good hit from a schoolie on a teaser and my reel broke. It seems when I was relubing my line roller, I didn't tighten it back down enough and it became loose. Not wanting to lose my manual pick up, I called it quits. Seems like someone borrowed my screwdriver and didn't put it back. Tried tightening it with the edge of my knife but that just didn't work. I also tried to use the bend in a hook and the edge of my pliers.

...HEY PAT!!....don't be a potty poop-a

..hang out


..let this blow ov-a
..
..yeah yeah....I know, I don't pa-nounce my aahs...so what, I come fum Mass....:D

Patrick , you're on self destruct here.

First , if you don't think some 18 year old proclaiming "I've also been fishing for so many years, I can take a look at the sky and feel the wind and have a pretty good idea of what's gonna go down" is funny , just wait till you are 48 and have been fishing stripers 35 years or more. You'll laugh then.

Secondly , telling you not to use this board to feud with other boards has nothing to do with who is friendly with who. Nobody should use the board for that purpose.

Lastly , this statement "If you see me, your best bet is to avoid me. Know that you aren't my friend." is way overboard. Sounds threatening to me but even if its not intended that way , some statements are hard to retract and should never be made in the first place.

In all honesty , I think people here have been very good to you. Far better than you deserve in light of the tone you've taken in this farewell speak.

If you want to go Patrick that's your choice. If you think that you'll show us how much of a man you are by not posting, well - I'd rather see you go fishing first and worry about posting a distant 24th...

You're not a moron, you just NEVER THINK before you say things. You didn't see it coming because you didn't THINK - and obviously, you're not a student of history. And no, we're probably not your friends more like aquaintances with similar :eek: interests. True friendship can be earned over time but is never guaranteed. That friendship is built more or less on respect and trust. It is not something to assume you will recieve. I think I've made some new friends this year as other's have earned my respect and I hope I've earned theirs. Many people will give you an opportunity still to EARN friendship or at least mutual acceptance but you need to EARN it.

First off - I truly hope that is not a threat. That would be another unwise decision. If I were to see you while fishing, do you expect me to not fish? To avoid you?

Secondly - if you choose to again join our little group of merry men & women, I wish you do so with a better attitude and with your thinking cap on. Clear? If you are truly going to stop going online, a simple "bye" will be sufficient....


BTW - I had at least one bump on my little 1/2 oz bucktail... Don't need no stinkin' 3OZ where we were

If it's the place I'm thinkin many a fish has fallen prey to 3/8 of an oz.

Patrick, don't let the few chase you away, just take John's advice. I give you a lot of credit for coming up to Rhody and will say Hi once you get mobile.

A few posts back I apologized to Patrick, but I guess he dont accept, oh well. Now I must apologize to the whole forum crew. My posting Patricks reply on SOL was in bad taste, for that I'm sorry, I never meant to start this huge poop storm. As a man, I can admit when I'm wrong. All my posts from now on will be geared toward fishing and be in good taste. Please accept my apologies, thank you. John, maybe it's time to lock this thread?

John,
Excuse me for one moment. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I can’t believe that I read all those post.”WHEWWW” Now back to the original question folks.
That is an easy one for me to answer. (“DEATH”) !
:cool:

Patrick I use less than 3 oz. in the Ditch all the time. The current there is alot faster and there are ways to fish it with light jigs. My best ones weigh 2 oz. and there are many ways to fish it.

Is it for real this time? Just wondering. Is Mindi still gonna post? Wow, this sounds like a cliff hanger :)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day!
 

Mama Skunk had two baby boys, IN and OUT.
Whenever IN was in, OUT was out.
Whenever OUT was in, IN was out.
One day, when OUT was in, Mama told him:
"Go find your brother, IN, and tell him to come in.
OUT went out, and returned with his brother almost immediately.
"Goodness, that was fast" said Mama Skunk, "how on earth did you find him so quickly?"
"Easy Mama", OUT replied, "IN stinked"!

(That smell could be low tide, or it could be just a fart in your waders, but if it smells like Apricots, DON'T leave the beach!)

I hope SOMEONE recognizes the Apricot reference!

Flounder

Of course, that was mindi I was speaking to on SOL, or so I thought. I'm assuming from your comment directed at me that you're admitting posting under mindi's handle over there, LOL. Which everyone involved pretty much assumed from the get-go. Nice of you to all but admit it, though.

The "why aren't you two fishing", well, I did address that to you via "her" so I guess I can overlook your fielding that question. ;)

As far as steering clear of places I may "run into" you----not in yer wildest dreams, little buddy. Osama bin Butthole hasn't scared me off from crossing the bridges to get to work every day. I think I can live with the threat of what you mght have in your plans, LOL. Besides----you'll never know I'm there. I try to make it a point not to be seen fishing, let alone catching.

<ahem>
 

Patrick does not post anything on my handle. Just because he can't post on SOL doesn't mean he can't read it. ANYONE can read it. As far as 'everyone assuming that from the get-go', I suppose they all told you that personally? Or are you their spokesperson? It's just like people assuming I wasn't even a real person. After they found out they were wrong about that, I suppose they have to make something else up.

As always, love and kisses

mindi

awwwwright Linesides.....

..an actual reply to the original question...yea! whippeeee...:D

...sheeeeesh, and I just wanted to know if I was nutz for goin fishin when it smelled like roses...;)

....and now back to our regularly scheduled programming....

DING!!....DING!! ...Round 8...

Flounder good one :)




hey Mike,

any chance we can wet the line together? ;) I missed out on several opportunities with you but clearly I don't want to finish the season just fishing with you once:eek: That spot we fished last November loks promising. I even ran into Tom there last weekend :)

Linesides & Bloo - I admit - I was ashamed that I had to go and check the first page out to see what the original topic was...

What stops me from fishing? Not much... Do I get out enough then? Nope :(

I saw the post. I feel obligated to reply since Mindi is my girlfriend. She looks out for me, I look out for her. I don't post on SOL. I was told not to, I don't. Have Tim check the IP logs. I don't post on there. I don't tell Mindi what to post. What she chooses to post is up to her although I support whatever she says 100%. That's what couples do.

I'm not admitting I post on there because I don't. I'm a man of my word. If I say I don't post over there, I don't. Her business is her business.

Dave, no one is asking you to be sorry. Just realize, the bed you make is the bed you sleep in. I learned that. No one over there cares about me, I just don't see any other reason why but to poke fun. If you are sorry, I always have room for forgiveness. Like I've said in previous posts, life is too short to hold grudges.

John, I'm not threatening anyone. I'm not asking people not to fish but just realize that I'm not going to be a nice person. I'm not going to be a buddy, I'm not going to shake hands. I'm not doing anything of the sort. I'll acknowledge and I won't be disrespectful but don't expect me to just forget what happened.

If you got a hit, why did you quit fishing the spot so early? That usually tells me to fish even harder. Work on perfecting on what those fish want.

Flounder, sure broken clocks are right two times a day but slow clocks like you are right once in a blue moon. You are way off when you EVEN THINK about playing shrink with Mindi and my relationship. You know nothing about me. You know nothing about her. Maybe that smell is all that hot air escaping from your dome. Sometimes you need to blow the cobwebs out.

Like I said, I'll be around. When one of you slips up and let's not act like it won't happen. I'll be in the shadows laughing.

Have fun kids. Remember Kharma.

Folks, It's the best soap going!
Later :)

I got that hit early on and it didn't exactly turn into a productive afternoon - you EVER want to do a head to head fishing expo - e-mail me...


Ok Patrick - here's the deal. There are only 2 answers - yes or no. So there is zero chance of confusion, your next post (if there is a next post) can have only one of those two - again, to be crystal on this - yes or no. If the answer is yes, try to be nice and think before you offer something prophetic (sp?). If the answer is no, have a nice life.

I have never asked anyone to leave (with the exception of ISPY but that didn't count) and I'm requesting that people DON'T respond and try to influence this either way.

Do you want to be a member of our rag tag army of striper fanatics or not? Simple as that. Yes or no are the only possible answers to the question.

Again - Do you want to be a member of our rag tag army of striper fanatics or not?

I feel like I'm watching Melrose Place - LOL
;)

I feel like I'm listening to Meatloaf "what's it gonna be boy? Yes or No" ala paradise by the dashboard light :)

Man for someone who said goodbye....

It shows you, it's hard to say goodbye :D

I believe there is a Blue Moon this November.

Patrick, you generate enough heat without your spokeswoman blasting every fishing website on the east coast on your behalf!

Geesh! She slammed SOL yesterday and she laying into the members here today, don't you see that? Have you told her about WMI? There are some meanies there too! LOL!

These people here at least like you, you ought to tell your "woman" to shutup for a while and let you fight your own battles.

Women are like buses dude...

D - not now please - simple yes or no from Patrick is all I'm looking for at this point...

Yes

The way to answer the question was YES OR NO . Now if you could please go back, remove the jibberish, and reply yes or no. There was no asking for a long explanation. I am saying this as the owner/developer of this site - Yes or No. If you chose yes, we can consider different things but I'm not going to draw up one set of rules for everyone else and one to protect you. So go back, edit, and choose yes or no...

Ever hear about the Maori Charts--give it a shot for your cycle thoughts :)

now, I read and read but did not read either yes or no. What I read were conditional clauses. Hmmmmm, do you mind answering the question?

can I say somethin here?........

JCXx, what's the story with those charts? I'm heading to New Zealand in Dec. Aren't the some sort of moon cycle/fish biorythm thingies?

Thanks,

CSK

John, no wonder you and your better half decided to stop with one blessing of a child. You have a full time babysitting job right here it seems.:rolleyes: You do have the patience of a saint.
And I thought I had patience untill Monday after delivering and installing a wall unit for the customer from Hell. She was all over me pointing out this and that and being a general pain in my rear. I left without the balance and didn't even tell her when I would return....
I am amazed this thread has gone this far, it should be a research study for a Psychology class. :rolleyes:

YOU GUYS ARE NUTS!!

...I come in here lookin for sharin and carin fellas.....:p :D
