Hey GB.......I got an idea.......


.....Of the guys on the CH list, who-ever doesn't post at least.....ummmm 25 times:eek: ......which isn't much :p ....by say ummmm.......TOMORROW!!!.....Kick em' off the Boat!!....:D



......and of the Fellas who are going to the Reeel Deeel, the same "threat"....:D...BUT!!......If your going to attend both of them....you have to double up on the posts!!.....:D



......How's that for MOTIVATION?....:eek: :rolleyes: :chased: :hf1: :jump1: :laugha:

...Its about 3/4 of an hour to Low tide, I arrive on the rocks....carefully place my equipment down as I take the last sip of coffee. (I can't drink coffee while fishing:confused: ..always afraid of wasting time!!)...I cautiously slide down towards the seaweed covered rocks, to where the mussel beds start. I then proceed to stomp some of the mussel bed sections....(these are those tiny mussels that grow like algae;))....I try to do it where the tide is going to help me out. Meaning the last 3/4 hr. of the outgoing tide will hopefully be enough to send the "flavour" of the mussel beds to the depths where "MY" fish are...
......I then proceed to start cutting some crabs

...back to the mussel beds. There are much more than just mussels being crushed here. There is a vast amount of life and "SCENT" that I'm intending to use as attractant. Some of you will probably think that I'm hurting the Ecological System, but any kind of natural bait...is effecting it in some way. Feel free to express your feelings on this.

Bloocrab, LMAO those are funny.

Good job.
Now , you need to get paid for that stuff.
maybe there's an opening at a cartoon place.
I have a neighbor that wants to start his own comic book but now his job is tileman's helper. He once worked with me , he ahs talent and you do too.

...Ok .....so now I grab my coffee cup (yeah, I know I said I'm done drinking when I arrive to fish)....but shut up and listen!!:D

....If there is any coffee remaining, its dumped out. I save the cup for my next exercise. An exercise I wish many other anglers would adopt. I place the cup in a secure location and cut my crabs above it. Trying to get as many of the legs into the cup as possible. The ones that don't make it, get picked up and dropped inside. You don't know how many times I've arrived at my destination....(:D "my destination"..like I'm gonna tell you where!:p )...and there are crab legs all over the rocks and surrounding areas :af:
...Some Idiots tend to think that just because they came from a crab, they're not littering. NOT TRUE!!...Its bad enough many fishermen/fisherwomen discard they're Hook Cartons, Dunkin' Donut cups...plastic crab bags, etc...etc... I could go on....but SHEEEEEESH!!!!.....you'd think they would have the common sense to know that they're wasting "CHUM"....

Ah HA, I see there's a little controversy in the Tattoo household. What a good husband giving up drinking while the wife has to :)
Ya get any sympathy morning sickness yet? :D

...YOU THINK I'M NUTS??...DO YA?....:D

...I can't say how many times, just for arguements sake...I've tested my theory by leaving or actually hooking a leg or two on my hook, just to see the effect.


.....HELLO MR. TAUTOG!!......


....trust me, throw the legs into the Ocean!!!....for one, the land owners will appreciate it:rolleyes: or at least the place will look that much more cleaner. And two, it won't hurt, only help your chances of getting fish.

If your reading this carefully, which your NOT!....you would have noticed that I said that sometimes I leave the legs on. That is when the bite is slow, I feel it helps a bit. Kind of like wiggling a lure, I believe the legs help entice the fish. But when they're biting, I chop the legs off. I don't want the fish pulling on the legs while I'm pulling on the rod....know what I mean?...:D

...:smash: :happy: :laughs: The second reason that I sometimes leave the legs on ......is



....LAZINESS!!!

.....sometimes when the bite is heavy...and I go through crabs quickly....I just grab a crab quickly and split em' down the middle..and on the hook he goes. But if I start missin' fish.....OFF WITH THEIR LEGS!!.....

...sorry for boring you guys/gals with my story, but when I posted the Sherrif picture of the tautog in a previous post. It got me daydreaming of goin' for Tautog!!.....and then GB posted that enormous Boar, and don't ask me why....but, it reminded me of a Tautog too....

......do you think its cabin fever setting in??....:cool:

...ummmm.....ya ever get the feeling your talking to yourself???...



:D:D.....:chatter :chatter :crying: :chatter :chatter :jester:

Bruce, the only comment that she made was about the last 10 hour drink-o-thon I went on with HABS and FISH-EYE at the last BLOOOOOOOOBERRY social.......it was something about being gone for twelve hours.....I can't remember...:smash:

I believe you are correct sir. They all changed from 358 to 377.

heck tough enough playing catch up with this thread. anyone out there ever break an ugly stik, and if so where did you go to have it replaced. took mine back to walmart with the reciept, but they said it had been to long since i had purchased it. (last summer) guess i'm gonna shoot a email off to shakespear and see what they have to say???

...believe it or not Red, you might be better off buying a new one...:(


...a friend called them up once and he said the price was close enough to a new one, with the shipping and handling...but thats just "here-say"...when you find out, could ya let me know....I got a couple of "uglies" myself....(none broken yet, but ya never know)....

...Thanks...

...Good News!!!!!........


I just heard there's a Blitz goin on!!!!.......HURRY!!! RUN!!!....

:D :D :D


....OOOOOOOH, I'M LIKIN THIS WAAAAY TOO MUCH!!!....:D:D

my new one was fine till i tried to knock over the stone wall with it and lost. guess it might just end up being a 10'5" surf pole.
did you hear the latest ...they signed charlie wiess to another 2 years as offensive co-ordinator for the pats. really thought he was gonna go to the bucs.

Is everyone else as glade as I am the Bloo does not have a picture of you. Great stuff Bloo !!:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

I went to CMS the other day and ordered a new rod for my 6500C3. I have never used superbraids but think I will try some on the new rig. Who likes what and what is the down side???

Yep, I'm sure you can't remember :rolleyes:

GB, first this is probably not the best thread to ask questions, they may get lost in the sauce.

If you have not fished braid before, I would suggest Fireline. It was the first braid I tried, it helped in the distance of my casts and it's characteristics are not that far from mono other than the no-stretch and ya have to use a palomar knot.
Fireline is not actually a braid, it's micro-dyneema. But it still has very little stretch. Once it is broken in it gets softer and turns whiter. I would start with 20 lb then maybe try 14 lb for that 6500 reel.

I still use fireline 14 lb for surf fishing and I use whiplash 65lb for jigging the canal.

so what kind of rod and what blank did ya order anyway?

Thanks Slip I was leaning twards the Fireline. I posted this here in hopes that we would get some others to post as everyone has their favorite line but looks like it did not work. Have you been to the new Dunkin Donuts on 28 yet. Just finished that one and are now doing one over in Lakeville off 105.
