Hey buddy what are the plans for this weekend. I think I can go. I have ordered some 9" sluggos and am picking them up tomorrow. What should we be using for hooks or jig heads with them. You gotta teach me this rubber thing ok pal.;)

Specialist, it's KLE. I know name change. Dumb story. I know a couple a thing about using slugs in the place I think you're going. Can I help ya?

Please do, you don't have to ask, any help is always appreaciated. You did slay em on rubba did'nt ya.:D

:confused:

i got your pm...it will give me a chance to do some recon sat am...i think slip and bm hit the ditch last night...said it was slow...i'm hoping the early am tide will be the ticket...

btw, do you know how to sling the big rubba?? thought you were a skins guy:confused: :p ...now that i think of it, how might have some skills...:cool:

i got some new rubba in earlier this week...watched tony make those fish look silly last week...:eek:

New rubba huh?

CSK

Specialist I'll call you tonight. I'm actually having some truoble getting the jig heads I like but found a substitute. I have been using shads and Fin-S-Fish with god results and experimenting with other rubber trailers, they all sem to work good. I'm fishing them a little differant than JJ or Slip but it works and have not got a fish at the funnel since that night but work some other spots.

i just got in half dozen 4oz bulletheads and found a place with 5ozers but i'm scared to throw that much lead...:p ;)

JJ18 Would this be a real store or internet?

if it weren't for the taunton remark i'd tell ya...:p

Richard

my father-in-law's name is richard...i just call him #^&#^&#^&#^&...:D

check your pm's...

JJ those size jig heads is what I'm looking for! The ones I'm using now are only 2 oz. I'm looking for 3 to 5 oz. either unpainted or painted, I don't think the bass care much. Everybody claims the Ditch is dead right now but there are always fish somewhere.

c-rat...was that you and specialist next to me this morning down the ditch??

4oz and a slug and i wasn't touching bottom!!...fargin wind...how'd you do??

managed 5 or 6 shorts on slugs and jig/pig...missed a few more since i could hardly feel my jig with the bow in my line... :(

hopefully the wind will lay down tomorrow...

i get the jig heads from that place in nebraska...the place in missouri has the 5's...

JJ we were before the bridge right after Slip. Tony got some there, but I did'nt till we went cape side and caught the begining of the slack. I lost a 37-38" maby bigger at my feet due to knot failure. I landed 4 that were around 30" . I fished SLuggs. Some nice fish were taken by chunkers. I may go tomorrow am. Boy did that wind pick up or what.

JJ I make shorter cast and sling it up-current more. I tend to jig slowly and swim it more, got more fish swimming it than jigging off the bottom. I'm still on the learning curve on this but have used rubber shads for years with good results. I only had one fish there but got five more on the Cape side fighting te wind. Saw some decent fish taken on chunks wich is what I do best. Specialist did you make it back down? I may hit it tomorrow if I don't get out codfishing, depends on the wind.

Yes sir, I went this morning with my dad. Saw some breaking fish coming through , I think they were blues. Fished the spot where I got my fish, nothing with sluggs. I got one dogfish with chunks, and my father lost one fish on chunks. There were breaking fish on the mainland side. One guy got fish on cape side at the first place we stopped, using pencil popper. He said he had all 18" fish and a couple of 30" fish. I wish I had tommorow off so I could go with ya. Let me know how you did.

Hey Specialist, red abu reel? If so I was just to your left when you got the D-fish. I'll be around early tommorrow. Blue jacket using a neptune.

CSK

and the current weather report for the cape cod canal, bourne mass...its fargin cold!! :eek:

a schoolie caught today was quoted as saying..."holy s its cold, wtf...frig this, i'm headin to jersey...see you next may"...:D

JJ18 check your PM

I'm nappin soon then going to the western-most spot of last night around 2:30AM

Chris

CSK mo that was not me, I am only a spinning guy now. I am getting a conventional built over the winter. Are you up here on vaca, your location says NY?

JJ you are right it was kinda cold today, but at least there was no wind.

Specialist got the skunk! No breaking fish and dinks kept hitting my chunks. Threw my last chunk in the water in disgust and saw a bass around 16" pick it up. And it was COLD!

I think we will be ok in Rhode Island. We must have sluggs they are yummy. I am making up hooks as we speak. I stopped at Mikes and got the rod for my father. He swapped out the reel for me. I also bought a 100 pack of the hooks for the rubba.;) Now I just gotta get some more of that rubba.:p :p :p :p :p :p :p

I'll give you a call Thursday evening about sat.

I'll be working but I will get a hold of you. I did find some 10" sluggos bring your sewing kit!

Yeah baby! My wife is gonna be mad, she ain't gonna have any thread left by the time I am done.:D

Specialist, my handle on SOL is KLE. Dopey story behind that name but anyhow, I'm in mass. quite a bit these days doing hatefulu wedding prep. The only good thing is that every hour of wedding prep stuff means extrta fishing time. I'm going up to the ditch for a last hurrah the weekend after this.

CSK

CSK - err KLE, The wedding is in Mass and then yer moving up here, right? :D In the meantime you get to fish while she picks out flower arrangements? Not bad....not bad... ;)

Maybe I will John, maybe I will. My most ingenious plan(to pat my own back:D :D ) was to give her a temporary engagement ring in July then wait till this weekend to get the real ice. Now I get to fish with strippers;) ;) ;)

CSK

John, this is good too. The reception place is on Beverly/Marblehead habba. We went by the place this weeken and I was immediatley on the beac scoping things out. From behind me I hear. "If you think for one G.D. minute that you're going to fish at the reception you're nuts"

Note to self: Put 2-piece rod and plug bag in limo trunk during
rehearsal dinner.

KLE

lmao.... hehehehe - what's the date?

I still got some time as a free man John. July 27 2002.

CSK

Great time for a wedding up there and it will be VERY difficult to keep the rod in the trunk... You may need to have another "batchelor party" up there after the rehersal dinner... My batchelor party was 4 days on the Vineyard a few years ago. Better than any bar type party :p ...

That time of year is when the big girls are up there - and you've seen what the shoreline looks like - amazing...

Even worse is I'm marrying a girl from the Midwest who thinks that the two weeks we're spending in the Vineyard after the wedding are gonna be spent antiquing and going out to dinner.

Ha! That'll teach her for stealing my freedom.

CSK

CSK I was thinking of heading to the Canal that weekend also. After last saturday I don't want to put the rod away. I will let you know for sure maybe C-ratt and I will cya down there. By the way if I am invited to the wedding I don't need dinner , just some eels and I will see you on the beach after the toast.:D , or maybe you might want to wait till after the cake, nevermind.

i got married on saturday, sept 28, 1996 at 4pm...at 6am that morning, myself and my best man were livelining pogies off the end of the plymouth jetty till about 9am, then i had to leave there and hit the mall to pick up the gifts for the guys in my wedding party...gotta have priorities...:)
