Man did I miss this!
 

Hello all, went down to ---------- matunuck yesterday and lost count on the amount of fish landed, It felt great to be back in the suds again! Fished with steve Mckenna who I have not wet a line with in about 4 years, But hey, I am back! Now I cant wait to head down again this aft. Its like riding a bike. Anyway, diaper changing days are over! time to fish again, see you guys out there! hope all is well with everyone! Remember, NOTHING BEATS EEL'S!! :laugha: :laugha:

Hi Bill,
Great to hear from you. I heard from some sources that you were starting to get back into the sickness.
Now that #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&'s back - where's Bassdozer?

DZ

Bill, Welcome Back!!!!!! We have missed you...

Welcome back to the gang, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& :wave:

The point of the whole journey is to end up where you started...

Wow, bassdozer?? Have not heard that name in awhile, Last I saw him was on Block Island about 5 yrs ago, I have no idea what happened to him? The guy would drive all the way from jersey and hop a ferry , fish the island all night and drive back to jersey in the morning! he was something! well, DZ you know how it is, family comes first and I am glad I was home when I needed to be, now that Alisson is 8 things are finnaly much better and I can fish again. Hope to see you soon.... Bill

I'm with DZ - I think we need Russ around too to explore that theory on the ghost school at BI.

Bill,
You're getting old - the person from Jersey you referenced is Cowhunter. Bassdozer = flame wars on the old website - wmi or something like that. Remember the scout fish theory. Russ is now out in Arizona doing a great job with Yamamoto baits.
By the way Bill - proud of you that you made the family a priority. I was worried about you - I'm very impressed.
Hope to hook up with you and Stevie soon - maybe we can drag TC out of his boat.
DZ

Hey Bill - got your call last night :hihi: - welcome back to the site...

I'll fix your acount for you tonight....

Your thinking Ken "Cowhunter" from NJ...

Hey Bill welcome the @#$%@##$ back /heard you were into fish last yesterday //

I,ll have to put rocks & seaweed in my boat soooooooo you can walk around in Korkers <><><<

Welcome back. Miss your flame wars on SOL.

Is Patrick coming back too? I wonder if he ever caught a bluefin tuna in the canal.

Chit he,ll @#$%^$% start them here :grins:

Yup, Cowhunter sorry for the mix up, I remember bassdozer well now, the ghost school! those were fun times anyway, playin hooky from a kitchen remodel today and heading down to the beach! As for Tim and his boat just be prepared to caugh up plenty of gas money!! he will complain for sure! No eels!! :bc: :bc: :bc: :bc: :crying: :crying: I will have to jump off the sidewalk and end it all! But then again there is always giant slug-gos! Later.........

( John whats up with the "Deletion of the spot") I thought I put it in there??

The infamous #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&....
The fisherman reports live again :laugha:
(Never knew who #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and stevie VS were till I moved over the bridge to SoCo :topic:

Eel man
 

hey guys I'm new to striper talk but that doesnt mean I'm not into fishing. #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&-do have the licence plate that says "eel man"? because i recall seeing that out on Chappaqui#^&#^&#^&#^& last year. I talked to my friend down on the vineyard he says their catching schoolies all along thee south side of the island nothing longer than 24' though.

Squibby - wrong #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& - that is a fellow from Mass that called himself #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&...


Bill's nickname #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, as well as two partners in crime Stevie Van Staal and Joe Pack, were given these monkiers by Tim Coleman when he was the editor of the Fisherman Mag, NE edition.

Billy - I'll tell you about the spot stuff later....

Hey Bill we never did get together last season maybe this year will be better....
Is there really a ban on selling eels for bait?

Hi Bill , glad to see you back fishing. Just curious how many teasers Dan P has on these days for tripple and quadruple schoolie hook ups?? :)

You mean Dave P? He had 2 or 3 teasers plus his jig when I saw him last week...

Hi Bill welcome back. I have learned some eeling tactics through John, just want to say thanks.

Hi Bill. :wavey:

Heeee's Back!

Ah yes, memories of the good ol days of wmi coming back.

Sorry , Dave P. Funny how even with the wrong first name you still knew who I was talking about John!! :)

hows your daughter doing Bill ? Glad to see you made it back out .

Hey Bill, good to see you around agian....For me its getting worse and worse every year!!! I guess things will change a bit this year for me, got a little one on the way due June 30! Guess Ill see what the diaper changing is all about....Can't believe its been five years already....Hows it going Dennis? Havent talked to you in bit? Hope all is well with you guys...Time sure flies!!

congrats on the child on the way kenny . Kids are just the best and worth every second of missed fishing . Both of my girls fish for trout now and soon will be striper fishing with me .

I knew who you meant too.

Wow, time does fly huh.
.
Soooo - Do ya still listen to Fleetwood Mac on the way?
I tried that, fell asleep at the ramp, and everyone got pissed off.
.
Always enjoyed your reports.

Bill

Hey cowhunter I will tell you this, plan to sacrifice fishing time for the little one! but, its well worth it! I simply found it imposible to fish the hours I wanted to and still be awake enough for the demands a little one can put on you, they get up early and in often when they are babies.The good news is it gets better and the time really does fly, hey family is very important and should always come first, the young years are the years that matter most and you can never get those back! I wish you well with your new child and enjoy it! It will give you a whole new perspective on life and everything else including fishing!

Hi, Bill: new here myself, so hi all!

Bill: never met you... but the night you caught your 52 in late October ('01?-- I forgot!)... I was in Rhody too... fishing a Breahway 20 miles East of where you reported catching your trophy! Had only teen fish myself that night (Oct. 21st or so off the top of my head?)... but was amazed & very jealous (& happy for you, as I know you're "hard- core") next day when Ronnie M. told me of your fish/ catch! Congrats again-- I wish to join you in that "50" club from surf soon enough!

I recall that night, was particularly cold (35 degrees or so)... & a NW wind? Did you really catch that fish, in the "famous" place reported, necessitating carrying it for 1.5 miles or so? If so... & I recall you did keep it & weigh it in?-- that's better legend/ strength, than carrying a "50" up the Bluff at SE! Any confirm if true/ accurate local, 5 years later?

Besides having a youngin'... was this "50" another reason, you were able to take "off" from the surf, for these years since? :) I wonder sometimes, if even a "60" would calm me down & keep me home more... Your example is a good one! Though I'm a Rhody visitor Falls mostly/ only... hope to meet & fish w/ you someday!
