friday report 10/29 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

parker23 · 10-29-2004, 05:21 PM

I took the day off today. Froze my butt off. Lots of tails in the surf. Very difficult boat handling, worth the effort.. quite a few nice bass and NO BLUE FISH.

Heading home east side Jamestown, huge blitz . No wind/surf--lots OH fish!!! Laughing gulls and turns going nuts. Most fish were very small, had a few just under 28". Caught a 6-8# Tautog on a clouser minnow. Just finished stuffing and she is in the oven. This is first for me, blackfish on the fly. Fluke occasionally, a couple sea bass, and a tiny sand shark, but this "white chin" is a first.

Can't wait for Sat am.

Tight lines

Burning a spot.....? He was in a boat.

I agree. Besides, defining a spot as an area that can be a square mile seems absurd. In a boat no less.

That spot sucks to fish when its crowded too.

Hijacking a thread on my 3-4 post isn't good but this "spot burning" concern has me confused. So it is ok for T Lapinski and Cow Hunter to post specifics about Block Island (Mansion Beach or SW side) or Cuttyhunk but somone posts a generic report about a 5 mile stretch of coastline and its spot buring. Hell, mentioning Block or Cuttyhunk at all is, in my opinion, the equivalent of mentioning Weekapaug Beach or Jamestown.

I don't honestly understand why: 1) anyone has to mention any spot and 2) when is generic too specific? I lived on Block for a number of years and fished it before it was "crowded", there are darned few secrets.

Be careful to speak out too loud, the spot burning police just might show up at your house. Everyone has to lighten up a bit this place is getting as bad as other pissing contest websites.

I just had a greasy fart. It burned, and now I have a spot on my boxers. I guess I just burned a spot too. Hope I don't get in trouble. Come on Pete, have you really been fishin there a lot this year or are you just trying to be a rabbel rouser?

The narrow river is a beautiful place and a tricky place to fish. I would love to see someone go down there chasing a report and catch a nice bass without ever being there before. More power to them. IMO this time of year theres about 6 better places to fish in narragansett this time of year..

I agree with striperhound though... lighten up people
