It was great - I even called Uncle Joe Pt Jude while he was on the TV at the end, I wanted to see if I could make him answer the phone on television...

Good job, men -

Just opened my Email at 6:30 by luck so I got to see the whole thing. Thanks for making this available to people who live to far to get down.

Great job but seems a little hypocritical that the internet and these forums seem to frown on spot talk but here we have a live broadcast going into great detail on every spot in RI..WTF......Wasn't Steve crucified for this same thing a few years back by you same people??? I don't really care about surf fishing anymore but I do have respect for the guys that do......

Thumper · 03-05-2009, 12:12 AM

damm missed it. is there anywhere were going to be able to view it agiain?

Rocco34520 · 03-05-2009, 06:36 AM

I also missed it. I hope to catch Steve at Quaker Lane.

Bocephus · 03-05-2009, 09:30 AM

I thought it was great

fishaholic18 · 03-05-2009, 02:22 PM

What's Up Bud!!!

JohnnyD · 03-05-2009, 03:38 PM

The one of the SWE guys should send me a pm so we can talk about options to get them away from that 35mm slide projector. Their website is incredibly above the rest of the pack in terms of order taking and in-stock monitoring. I am in awe whenever I go to their site with the ways they have integrated their online catalog, in store stock and forums and created a seamless experience for the customer from top to bottom. Time to get their presentations into the 21st century too.

striperjerk1 · 03-05-2009, 04:43 PM

Thanks SWE .. that was the best .
Thanks Steve .

Sweetwater · 03-05-2009, 04:44 PM

I caught the first hour of the SWE show and Steve's presentation before I had to tend to other things. It was very good. But agree with JohnnyD that the old Kodak slide presentation could stand to be updated, especially for a live stream (and JohnnyD would be just the guy to do set them up right).

There was some commentary among the "remote" people about spot burning (which maybe got the SWE folks a little perturbed), but the comments were really applicable to a lot of waters and I don't think his presentation means everyone is going to flock to those specific spots (but I don't fish RI waters often so maybe it's not my ax to grind). Anyway, great job and thanks to SWE for putting it on.

Are you kidding??? It was in complete detail...from driving directions to which rock to cast to... I feel real bad for the guys that fish those spots...It'll be a zooooooo.........for sure... I've seen it many times...

JohnR · 03-05-2009, 05:04 PM

My personal opinion and the official policy of the site is to not discuss spots in great detail as this is not the forum for it, recorded for all history, and certainly when in a combination spot/report. However having this kind of talk at a fishing show or event or among a small group of people is different not unusual. Information should be shared, I just think a public forum, forever googlable, is not the besxt location for spot stuff. A bit different (I think & hope) in what SWE is doing with their broadcasts... Though with the SWE folk do it from their rocks at say blanks neck or certain spots along the walk. Most Aquidneck fisher folk I've talked to over the years would do things that make urban Detroit after a Championship win look like Pleasantville USA

He was very specific, but Steve's been giving these presentations for years as well as being published in various magazine. He said that he fishes the same spots himself and there's no one around. I get the concern though.

Clammer · 03-05-2009, 06:48 PM

I knew it has been too f $%^&*()_ quiet around here >..I thought it was the economy >><<><><,

Pete F. · 03-05-2009, 09:03 PM

I've fished those spots and in the middle of the night, even on the right tide there is hardly anyone there. Well except for one of them and he needs to use bigger plugs there. In fact of the spots I've fished that Steve "burnt" in the past I have never seen nighttime crowds. Of course I don't fish in RI from mid june till after Labor Day. Of course I only fish in RI because I don't have to worry about a fish interrupting my casting practice.

Pete-

Your patience is astounding.

I think this is why Aquidneck Island Fishermen are actually the ones lobbying to raise the toll on the Claiborne Pell to $15 each way, and shut down the Sakonnet River Bridge Altogether.

BassDawg · 03-05-2009, 11:28 PM

okay f-18, i'll try to break this down for you, gently!

I disagree...Who gave anyone more rights than the other guy...Publicity????
it has nothing to do with Publicity,,,,,,,,,,,,it has more to do with the
fact that those are his home waters and where he fishes and the spots that he has fished for more than 30 years. if he wants to use them to further his demonstration it is his choice and i feel that he's earned the right to talk about these places that have been known about for 100's of years, not just within your time frame of experience, guy.

The locations may be "generic"..but the time, technique..etc..are not..Too much info..
very simply,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and we go to seminars for What reasons?

Master???? Are u kidding me???How are you designated Master?? Jigging current..or an other technique is common sense and trial and error..don't ya think?
uh nope, and just how many articles, seminars, lure creations can we credit to you, f-18? while jigging w/current is not rocket science, it is the way in which Steve speaks with certainty and his "been there, done that" style of presenting the basics that makes it more easily assimilated. couple that with his 3 decades of surfcasting and the ease with which he presents MOST anything he is willing to share with those of us who are still learing this sport and you have a surfcaster that speaks authoritatively and the knowledge that comes from someone who's landed several trophies and, imho and the humble opinon of others, would be considered a master when it comes to this surfcraziness that beckons us all.

i mean to you he may just be another guy, and he is very accessible; yet, to me i am pleased and very fortunate to learn from him at every available opportunity,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks again Steve and Pete and Chris for ALL that youse guys do to promote our sport!!

To learn how to fish...not what rock to cast to....Part of the journey is the discovery on your own......
