Fish_Eye: Say It Ain't So! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Crafty Angler · 01-04-2002, 11:56 PM

When I talked to Tattoo a while ago he told me he was going to the East Bay Anglers seminar in Barrington.

Now it turns out he's gonna be PART of the show.

Geez, Fish-Eye, don't ya think some folks might be frightened?

JohnR · 01-05-2002, 08:27 AM

Isn't there a law about that? Something like "no shirt - no service"

Tattoo · 01-06-2002, 06:41 AM

Got Elephant Man?

Fish_Eye · 01-06-2002, 08:37 AM

I wasn't sure my video presentation would be a big enough hit...I went with the sure thing...Everyone likes a freak show.

I was just trying to do my part and "Get a freak back to work!"

Oh Tattoo, I understand Alan James Robinson will be attending!

How is the East Bay show I have never been but bought two tickets for this year?

JohnR · 01-06-2002, 03:12 PM

GB - Welcome to Striped-Bass!! Another fellow Rho Dyslanduh?

How is the East Bay show you ask? I dunno, this is the first year that I'm going to be there. But I do know that a few of the "events" are certainly worth seeing.

GBOUTDOORS · 01-06-2002, 03:28 PM

Thanks for the reply
NO not from RI next door in Mass. Just getting back into striper fishing. My wife bought me a seaswirl 18.5 center consel last fall and I got to do some fishing in Sept. and Oct. can't wait for spring. Our family has a house on cuttyhunk that I have not been to for 18 yrs and hope to use it this year with the boat.!!!

Slipknot · 01-06-2002, 04:09 PM

So, GBOUTDOORS, nice to meet ya old buddy. Cuttyhunk you say,hmmmmm. Anytime you need a first mate just say the word. I got plugs

Welcome to the site.

GBOUTDOORS · 01-06-2002, 04:18 PM

Keep in touch I would be happy to have some company. I fished alone most of last fall as my son was to busy and could not get the time he works mainly in the summer for the Mass. Div. of fisheries and is out straight in the summer and fall.Come on spring time!!!

Got Stripers · 01-06-2002, 05:53 PM

Hey, hey, just because Slippy is home all doped up on cabinet dust and paint fumes and happened to respond first.....no fair

. Does the boat have room for 2 mates?

GBOUTDOORS · 01-06-2002, 06:38 PM

Yes there is room for two. If you are going to the East Bay show maybe I will see you there.Have not used eels before and would like to learn how.Got a Penn intl. 965 for xmass and a custom rod from CMS to match.Had good luck pluging in old spots and would like to try casting eels in some of these holes.

JHABS · 01-06-2002, 07:20 PM

GBOUTDOORS, Welcome, And maybe could help you with PLUG and HERRING fishing

GBOUTDOORS · 01-06-2002, 07:32 PM

Have you tried stillwater plugs yet I found them at Buckos in Fall River this fall and had great luck with them.The popper is great it is a floter and casts a mile. I had days that they would hit nothing else.I have done lots of pluging off Cuttyhunk as I spent lots of my summers there as a young fisherman but have not had the time to fish or go to the island for years but now feel it is time to make time to fish more LOTS more.

Clammer · 01-06-2002, 08:10 PM

G, welcome to the site, don,t listen to all these comments !! them there weekend fishes, the clamdigger fishes all the time ,and all kinds of ways, if you don/t have room, just drop me off on the island, later be seeing you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GBOUTDOORS · 01-07-2002, 07:04 PM

From Fairhaven these days.From Dartmouth as a kid and summers on Nashawena and Cuttyhunk Islands. My aunt and uncle were the caretakers on island for 42 years and I got to spend summers there fishing.

Crafty Angler · 01-08-2002, 04:25 PM

Welcome aboard, GB -

See what ya did, now you've got yourself 50 deckhands - just try to not get these guys (myself included) too wound up with Cuttyhunk stories - at this time of year that's not hard to do anyway.

It's a great spot here, you'll like it - John's got a good crew here.

Clammer · 01-08-2002, 05:13 PM

If there ever was a dying and going to heaven , place to be as a teenager, you were there,,,,YOOOOOOOOOOO later

GBOUTDOORS · 01-08-2002, 06:35 PM

Your right and can,t wait for spring to start fishing it all over again.But my biggest striper was not cought there it was a 48# cought in padarnaram harbor in 1973. We can,t all fit in the boat at once but I will be happy to have a few GOOD fisherman along to help gaf the big ones.

Clammer · 01-08-2002, 08:10 PM

GB, but back in 1973 you caught the 48# on a pogie, along with everyone else, SOOOOOOOOOO that doesn,t count!!!!!!!!!!

JohnR · 01-08-2002, 08:10 PM

GB - you were still dealing in the same pool of fish

- if you have a mild case of the sniffles, you'll find 100 or so here offerin' a Kleenex

for shot to be first mate for a day at Cuttyhunk. No bashfull souls here.

Sandman had us all worked up a couple months ago when he was surfcasting that little island, I still drool occasionally... We were also tossing an idea about of getting a few of us together and surf fishing it....

Here was the thread we had going back then: http://www.striped-bass.com/vbulleti...ight=cuttyhunk

Were you confident with your boat in those waters? I'm toying with the idea of a boat too TO SUPLEMENT my surf fishing (I can see me getting yelled at by a bunch of people now). That is in the range of what I'm considering, more specifically: center consoles from 19-23 feet, like an old Seacraft (Billboy - i GOTS to check out your boat sometime & get some inspiration) or Mako or something new like a Seaswirl/H-sport/Triumph with enough decent deadrise... That area is one of the areas that I intend to boatfish and I want a boat that is safe (all things relative) in a snot SW running through...

Clammer · 01-09-2002, 03:55 PM

John,Ihave a friend that has one of those old seacrafts with some seroius fishing hours on it [outside] If you want to check it out , let me know, its just a couple of miles from us and its out of the water having work done/////////////////////Mike

JohnR · 01-09-2002, 04:09 PM

TALK TO ME BROTHER!!!!

BTW - did you call me yeaterday? I'll probably page you anyway...
