Whats wrong with you?
 

Its June 10th. Other than a few early season schoolies I havent seen ANY striper pictures for 2013! Some of us are thousands of miles away and would enjoy seeing some nice bass pics. Does anyone here fish anymore?

See "Custom Wood Fish 2013" in the builders forum....lots of pics there! :uhuh:

yeah, but what about the REAL fisherman, you know the guys who use eels and bunker?

:smash:

Where do I begin with what's wrong with me.

#1 I am done posting fish pics unless it is a PB or worthy of me taking a pic.

#2 aside from a couple of decent fish I really haven't caught any pic worthy fish this year.

#3 been too damn busy to really fish a lot as of yet.

#4 I honestly don't think we have seen the big push here yet.

#5 I am not a real fisherman. I only use artificials aside from the occasional live eel outing

I have a lot wrong with me anyone that knows me will tell you I am a little soft and nuttier than squirrel s&$t

Landed this pig the other night. Had my friends hold it so I could take the picture. Took me 6 hours to reel in, bottomed out the 60# boga

wow, I guess internet hoaxes are the best you can offer. lets see some real fish!

I said I won't post any pictures unless it's a 40 or more. So far 35# is the biggest

work harder so I can see a damn pic!

It is kind of interesting that we are not seeing nor hearing about a LOT of big fish. I just fished 12 days straight and put in a ton of hours both on the boat and at the Canal. There has been a couple of 50s and a smattering of 40s but nothing like years past. Maybe the big girls are still not here or maybe there are not a lot of big girls left.

I was at the canal late last week and saw 4 or 5 guys in the Sag parking lot coming in with 28" fish. Why in the name of God are these nitwits killing 28" fish? Because they CAN, that's why.

I have never seen so may guys fishing the Canal. Is it due to the lack of fish on the Back beaches, the easy access, the predictability of the fish movement? Maybe all of the above. Anyway, my nephew and I have caught over 50 fish in the 15 to30# range and killed 2 fish and they were gut hooked.

I only took a pic of my boat fish. Nothing pic worthy besides that so far ill post it up

RIJimmy,
Get a Facebook account and you'll get more than your fill ;)

I think the canal gets so much action because of the predictablity of the movement and then word of mouth. When push of fish comes in, within a day everyone is getting phone calls. Its never a secret of when the canal is going off.

Striper Photo's...

There are a couple of 40's that should get your interest. One boat and one surf.
PM with you email address and I'll send you a couple of yak Stripers a coworker caught three weekends ago while in the midst of a bunker school around 4:00am (32 and 22 pounds).
Caught artificially of course...

that things a slob!

on DZ's facebook comment - do you guys just all friend each other personally or is there a group or page some are using? We have a group for New england kayak fishing and honestly it is making it so people don't post pics on the site itself anymore, I don't really have a problem with that, but it would be cool to see pics from members here as well...

I noticed a while back that John had an S-B page up, but it doesn't seem that active from members here...

Fishing sucks wé need à new hobby :)

I have one but my only fishing friends are RIROckhound, Nebe and Fishbones and apparently they never catch any fish. :smash:

thats a sweet fish, thanks for posting

The best I can do for you is a pair of 30-pounders from late last week.

Nice, good to see someone is getting it done!

Why not show some of your catches as well?
Surely there has to be something to catch down there other than a dust tan?

You'll have to wait for canyon season. I don't carry a camera in the surf...

I thought game of thrones voyerism was the new hobby :huh:

nice fish there MIke

too busy catching to take pics....lol

:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

here ya go Jim...Lt. Chris Nelson with a 46.5 inch catch and release last week from the RI surf :fishin:

The only thing that has been predictable about the canal this year have been the crowds...

I do have some pics. Just havent loaded to computer. Got into a bunch stripers on Memorial Day weekend up at Texoma. They're all schoolies. I want to see cows.

Nice pics Scott - thanks for posting!

I don't often post fish pics, but what the heck since you asked. This one was recently released at an undisclosed location :biglaugh:. My best of the spring so far.
