Hi Guys:
haven't been on in awhile. I find this thread interesting in that I never have much trouble with the spotjumpers. Here's the secret. Fish in the middle of the night in the worse weather in the most dangerous spot. You get good quality fish with nobody bothering you.
I crawl around in the wee small hours of the night in the rocks, not on the rocks, in the rocks in Narragansett. If I do run into someone it's a guy who knows how to fish and also hates the nitwits that have started to infiltrate our sacred sport.
It is a shame that this is what it has come to. Narrow River now has more idiots than seaweed. Fished it at 2 AM this morning...gee no one there except for 2 guys I know and they know how to fish it. Saturday night at 10 there was a combination of guys on River Rock "chunking" (great spot to chuck with a 5 knot current on the drop. Couldn't hold bottom with an engine block) and what I call "the jamokes" on the soft side. Coleman lanterns, no waders and drifting eels right into the guys out front. I walked back to the right, waded thru a trench and got fish where no one could see me. Had to unhook in the dark as I didn't want to give away my position. These idiots don't even know there's a bar out there.
This is what it had come to...stelth fishing.
