Who would you fish with? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

eelman · 06-01-2005, 10:49 AM

If you could go back in time who would you most like to fish with? who are the surf ledgends that have influenced you the most?

For me it is Tim Coleman, who I owe much of what I know

There are many more surf ledgends , name your favorite and who if you could team up with them would be your choice!

Of all of these I have fished many times with Tim Coleman and he is a great guy, tim still fishes today as much as ever. Tim has a 60 and 3 50s from block island.

Second Question!

If you were hot and heavy fishing in the late 70s and 80s where would you rather be at that time

1)Block Island

2) Cape Cod

My choice hands down! Block Island, that place was smokin them and it was never talked about!

Karl F · 06-01-2005, 10:57 AM

Arnold Laine, or #^&#^&#^&#^&ie Samms, or better yet, both... if your ever up at Nelsons, look at all the old black and whites... looked like those 2 had it down.

late 70's early 80's... Cape, if it was Monomoy

especially late summer/fall of 81....

Slipknot · 06-01-2005, 11:09 AM

Stan Gibbs for sure. Also Charlie Cinto

I'd love to have been on the beach with Tony Stetzko the night he caught Bertha.
It would be great to fish with all of those guys.

2. Block Island for sure.

likwid · 06-01-2005, 11:12 AM

None of the above.

Chet and the islanders.

capesams · 06-01-2005, 11:41 AM

there's two here in town..one boat ,one beach...that could and would fish the paint's off of most....when the fish weren't on the bite these two would still fill the truck and boat every trip out.But they arn't chest beater's so you wouldn't know them even if I typed their names.

You callin steve campo old

the cape for sure..

Been there, done that

The only problem with fishing with Charlie is that you'd spend too much time ROTFLYAO.

My choice would be the Mad Russian, Sergey de Somov. He racked up eye-popping catches everywhere from Sandy Hook to the Cape, and almost everywhere in between. Won the MV Derby 2 or 3 times, always with fish over 50.

The Block would be more my style. Big water, rocks, tough fish in tough terrain. Especially when I was in my 20s. Nowadays, I'd probably rather be a sand sissy

BigFish · 06-01-2005, 11:39 AM

Stan Gibbs hands down....Flaptail #2...when we going?

Tattoo · 06-01-2005, 11:41 AM

Campo, just to see all his plugs.

capesams · 06-01-2005, 11:44 AM

u mean had

jsullivan · 06-01-2005, 11:28 AM

Pete Zaface
I love NY waters

SBASS1 · 06-03-2005, 07:05 AM

I chose Charlie Dodge, because he's forgotten more about The Island than I'll ever know! However, Pat was a close second.

Saltheart · 06-03-2005, 03:38 PM

Hmmmm...fishing with heather locklear????? OH YEAH!!!!

chris L · 06-03-2005, 06:10 PM

Linesider82 · 03-17-2015, 11:51 PM

Bump.
Tim's written words were always great.

Tony, I just missed you.

Pat Abate, I'd like to fish with now.

Heather Locklear would also have been a good choice, she aged nicely.

Rob Rockcrawler · 03-18-2015, 12:45 AM

Cool thread..

DZ · 03-18-2015, 07:20 AM

He's still around. Gave up fishing completely. Plays drums in a band on weekends.

Clammer · 03-18-2015, 11:27 AM

Yeah what Paulie said ............... I don,t think he even has any fishing gear left .......... worked so hard to get the commercial license & UNLESS HE HAS KEPT MAKING THE ANNUAL RENEWAL . tHAN hE JUST GAVE IT UP .. he didn,t have enough landing to see the boat & license

Headhunter · 03-18-2015, 09:33 AM

My first choice would be my boys over all the greats that are mentioned ( also my daughter and wife on the rare occasion they want to).

Block hands down for me

Did not realize this thread was so old at first. Very cool though.

DZ after "#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&" went to boat fishing I don't think he returned to the surf much, just kind of disappeared? Perhaps health related?

justplugit · 03-18-2015, 10:25 AM

Clammer, if you could GUARANTEE me I would get back alive.

buckman · 03-18-2015, 10:28 AM

I would go back and fish with my uncle Bill in the rips of Nantucket with guys like Bud Henderson and Spider Anderson.

Bumping these threads always brings up the memory of those we lost way too soon.

Charlie Soares. I bet you get an incredible history lesson fishing with him.

piemma · 03-19-2015, 04:42 PM

So it's 10 years since the start of this thread. As you get older you look back and reflect on, not who you caught the most fish with but, who you had the most fun with. After all is said and done this should be about having a good time.

Here is my list:

Clammer who has mooned every living soul on th Bay but is my Fluke and BSB guru, my old surf partner RIRockhound who I spent hundered of hours with from Narrow River the Watch Hill, Back Beach and Tony O at the canal, John Habs (God rest his soul) at Fresh Pond Rock, Quonny and the Block. Steve Mckenna at Frenchmans Reef. Al Pellini at NR and the Block. He who cannot be mentioned, on the Bay and at Napatree in late November. Toby at Watch Hill Light oh so long ago. A lot of guys who have gone to the beach in the sky like Gil Guillitone, Chet Tomkins, Gene Ayotte, Lanny Grazini Dave Hammock, Charlie Murat.

I am past the age of wanting to fish with "the greybeards", I am one of them. About 50 years in the surf and boat with a couple off for the service and I wouldn't change a thing. Probably another 10 left in these old legs and then hang it up. But I still look forward to every year like I was 16.

Swimmer · 03-18-2015, 12:14 PM

Any of the islanders, Cooper Gilkes, for one, Dr. Post, another, simply for his perspective on fishing the Vineyard, not his catching ability. Some of the up-islanders that I used to run into years ago when I fished by myself, and would come across certain people coming out of certain dirt roads at odd hours.
