Yes.... first Clinton held a stinky cigar to my head, then Obama's Muslim friends made me read it... and now Trump makes me read it because I'm scared the Mexicans are gonna get me.

Seriously though: this post was never meant to be negative or illicit rude comments. It was just a simple fisherman missing how it used to be, where most of the conversations were on fishing, friends, family fun, boats, kayaks, and fishing from rocks. We are fishermen and not politicians.... they tell lies for a living.. we tell them for a hobby.

All will change to the better when the website is upgraded hopefully before most of us are in our grave.

Use die fotze or die muschi . its german with the same meaning and won't be changed to &^%*$@

Oh yeah the reason I was here .
Political forum FOOOOEYYYY . Never been there in all the years IT has been on the site . There are certain things that are not worth the argument over someone else's opinion that doesn't jive with your own . I very seldom talk religion or politics with humans and neither topic are even in the same realm . It is just me !

I deleted the rest
Nevermind

All valid suggestions. The sponsor point is well taken. Habs is still at the top of almost every page.

For what it's worth, I'm not sure John is into the site the way he once was. Lot of work with very little monetary return.

He wants me to do the update I've promised the last 67 years ; )

I don't blame him

What I was doing for a while was putting this site (and fishing) in front of my family and the mortgage. Sorry - can't do.

If someone with a bit of tech and fishing prowess wanted to partner ; ) I would consider it.

John, I hope you didn't take my comment as criticism.

Miss going in the QL and BS'ing with Steve. Picking his brain. One of the good guys. Im only 37 but seems like a long time ago. Miss those surf nights. I still fish a decent amount and will really hit it when the fish show up in my neck of the woods, but since havin a family I really enjoy the boating aspect as well. We spend weekends on the boat going to block island and MV, hanging at the marina. And guess what...… Sometimes I don't even bring a rod!!!

It has nothing to do with my age as I work harder and more now than ever and I'm 71. I also play golf 2 or 3 days a week. It has to do with the fact that my beloved Stripers are in real trouble.....AGAIN!

I know, I know, there are other fish. When I fished 100 nights a year, I fished for Stripers. I'm not interested in Fluke or Scup or BSB. I use to pride myself on being a Striper fisherman. Perhaps I am being myopic. That's my prerogative.

I think everyone will agree that fishing isn't what it once was. On top of the stocks in trouble, we have the seals taken over the Outer Cape, the plovers on The Back and restrictive forces closing beaches in RI and ROWS.

So there Cool Beans. That's my 2 cents.

PLUS 2 MR. PIEMMA. +2.
But: I have not stopped fishing. I am 72; therefore, you and I will be dead before any of today's 15-20 inch yearlings are 40 pound fish. I am fishing over an ever dwindling number of viable adult fish. You should keep going as there is no second chance.

Separately, I took a 41" just under 31 lb. bass this AM. My first over 30 this year! You gotta be kidding? And we had a methodical and beautiful release; but this example means nothing to the witnessing crowds and hoards of people present, to whom the resource means nothing other than a $$$ sign, or a brag, or a meal far inferior to a 12 lb. fish.

Yours,
A very sour SauerKraut.

I am
