OK - Cod trip & Reel Maintenance revisited - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

JohnR · 01-30-2002, 08:34 AM

OK - Slip has generously offered his workshop yet again for a little reel maintenance session. Whe can work up a date on when is good for him and The Boss... Also, Slip - how many people do you want to cut off at?

The Cod Trip: I need a date and list of people interested in going. Some time in late Feb perhaps? Unfortunately, this could be the last year of a good Party boat cod trip due to potential reg changes

. So let's hammer out some dates and a list of people interested!!

Maybe we'll have a shark trip sometime

interested in the cod trip.....depending on the date of course.....

GBOUTDOORS · 01-30-2002, 02:31 PM

I would like to go to both just give me a date and time???

chris L · 01-30-2002, 02:32 PM

reel maintenance is for me . cod is for food and liver oil .

I have reels , just not much knowledge of what goes boing when the sideplates are opened up . I already need a retaining clip for my bearings on my 7000cl . It went boing one night when I turned to talk to my daughter and is now lost .

milo · 01-30-2002, 05:23 PM

YUP I'll probably go to both ,so counts me in OK

This will be a good time to match my 7500 to a rod or two I need to cut before stripper season

Swede · 01-30-2002, 06:59 PM

STEVE IN MASS · 01-31-2002, 05:54 AM

Hey Chris - for that spring, call Bucko's in Fall River. I just ordered parts from them and had them the next day.....parts are cheap, but they'll get you on the shipping and handling.....$6.95. I got the envelope and it had a $0.55 stamp on it!!!! So, make it worth your while and order anything and everything you might need, extra springs, screws that are soft or nearly stripped, etc. They are real good there, other than the S&H charge..........

milo · 01-31-2002, 06:08 AM

hey ,Chris ya ole F$RT,IF YA NEED anything from buckos let me know and I'll let ya get it at the next meet,OK C Y A

Got Stripers · 01-31-2002, 08:46 AM

I'd be interested in both, the cod trip for sure and the reel party depending on the date.

chris L · 01-31-2002, 08:56 AM

Thanks Steve Thats where I buy my stuff when I need it . I usually drive there on my way east . Its just Im not paying 6.95 for a 39 cent part .
I also have Dacos in Ct to get parts .

Milo Thanks for the offer , Ill keep that in mind . You are close to there too arent you .

OLE FART ? Who me ? Im a youngun in a middle aged body .

Slipknot · 01-31-2002, 09:02 AM

John, I think we should keep the number under 15 or so

DaRIFFSTER · 01-31-2002, 09:11 AM

HEY TIGHTLINES AND ALL
TAKIN IN THE SUN DOWN HERE IN FL.
WHO GOT THE BIG BASS LAST YEAR??

JohnR · 01-31-2002, 09:39 AM

Rich, Welcome to S-B!

Uhh Biggest? From boat or shore?

Wasn't me this year, had child (well, my wife did) and didn't get out too much. Had a couple shore bass just miss 30 pounds but no monstahs this year...

More than a few regulars had surf bass into the 30s and a handful over 40 pounds this year (Blitz & BM I think) and I think there were some boat bass over 40#s (but they ain't talkin')...

So, snowbirdin' in FLA, eh??? Not a bad thing ehh?

Reel Maintenance: - Limit 15 (Thanks Slip & Mrs. Slip - AKA SlipsBetterHalf

)

New to the board.A lot of great info here.I'm in on the cod trip if there's room.I need the fix.I'm ready to drag a plug across the fish tank.

JohnR · 02-02-2002, 12:22 AM

Fred - Welcome aboard - I think you'll have some fun here... Where are you from?

LMAO - Dude - that's very bad. PETA would keelhaul you if they ever heard you talking like that (assuming they could figure the difference between a bow & stern and how to tie a knot)

Sure - I'll put you up on the Cod Trip list. What we plan to do is get 25 or so and take a big boat out of Plymouth... Have a pool for the first fish, biggest fish, & first person to YAK

-- I know who my money's on

GBOUTDOORS · 02-02-2002, 08:01 AM

John you make it sound like its a bad thing to belong to PETA I have been a member for years now and I am not only a member I am the Club president

of People Eating Tasty Animals yes thats PETA and I believe my club has far more members than theirs what do you think. I was at the Capital Grill in Providence the other night for one of our regular meetings and the place was so full that all the other resturants in town had to handle the over flow.

Oh welcome Fred hope to meet you on the cod trip

Smokey · 02-02-2002, 09:27 AM

Saltheart and I are up for some real maintenance. If there is room, two of my brothers, Dave and Steven would like to go also.

Smokey · 02-02-2002, 10:21 AM

STEVE IN MASS · 02-02-2002, 12:09 PM

You guys got a date for the reel thing yet? I could use the company!!! Besides, just wrote an article on cleaning the Baitrunner. Let me know, I'll check in tomorrow or Monday.

Thanks
