...Its about 3/4 of an hour to Low tide, I arrive on the rocks....carefully place my equipment down as I take the last sip of coffee. (I can't drink coffee while fishing ..always afraid of wasting time!!)...I cautiously slide down towards the seaweed covered rocks, to where the mussel beds start. I then proceed to stomp some of the mussel bed sections....(these are those tiny mussels that grow like algae)....I try to do it where the tide is going to help me out. Meaning the last 3/4 hr. of the outgoing tide will hopefully be enough to send the "flavour" of the mussel beds to the depths where "MY" fish are...
......I then proceed to start cutting some crabs

Question

...back to the mussel beds. There are much more than just mussels being crushed here. There is a vast amount of life and "SCENT" that I'm intending to use as attractant. Some of you will probably think that I'm hurting the Ecological System, but any kind of natural bait...is effecting it in some way. Feel free to express your feelings on this.

Bloocrab, LMAO those are funny.

Good job.
Now , you need to get paid for that stuff.
maybe there's an opening at a cartoon place.
I have a neighbor that wants to start his own comic book but now his job is tileman's helper. He once worked with me , he ahs talent and you do too.

...Ok .....so now I grab my coffee cup (yeah, I know I said I'm done drinking when I arrive to fish)....but shut up and listen!!

....If there is any coffee remaining, its dumped out. I save the cup for my next exercise. An exercise I wish many other anglers would adopt. I place the cup in a secure location and cut my crabs above it. Trying to get as many of the legs into the cup as possible. The ones that don't make it, get picked up and dropped inside. You don't know how many times I've arrived at my destination....( "my destination"..like I'm gonna tell you where! )...and there are crab legs all over the rocks and surrounding areas
...Some Idiots tend to think that just because they came from a crab, they're not littering. NOT TRUE!!...Its bad enough many fishermen/fisherwomen discard they're Hook Cartons, Dunkin' Donut cups...plastic crab bags, etc...etc... I could go on....but SHEEEEEESH!!!!.....you'd think they would have the common sense to know that they're wasting "CHUM"....

...YOU THINK I'M NUTS??...DO YA?....

...I can't say how many times, just for arguements sake...I've tested my theory by leaving or actually hooking a leg or two on my hook, just to see the effect.


.....HELLO MR. TAUTOG!!......


....trust me, throw the legs into the Ocean!!!....for one, the land owners will appreciate it or at least the place will look that much more cleaner. And two, it won't hurt, only help your chances of getting fish.

If your reading this carefully, which your NOT!....you would have noticed that I said that sometimes I leave the legs on. That is when the bite is slow, I feel it helps a bit. Kind of like wiggling a lure, I believe the legs help entice the fish. But when they're biting, I chop the legs off. I don't want the fish pulling on the legs while I'm pulling on the rod....know what I mean?...

... The second reason that I sometimes leave the legs on ......is



....LAZINESS!!!

.....sometimes when the bite is heavy...and I go through crabs quickly....I just grab a crab quickly and split em' down the middle..and on the hook he goes. But if I start missin' fish.....OFF WITH THEIR LEGS!!.....

I went to CMS the other day and ordered a new rod for my 6500C3. I have never used superbraids but think I will try some on the new rig. Who likes what and what is the down side???

GB, first this is probably not the best thread to ask questions, they may get lost in the sauce.

If you have not fished braid before, I would suggest Fireline. It was the first braid I tried, it helped in the distance of my casts and it's characteristics are not that far from mono other than the no-stretch and ya have to use a palomar knot.
Fireline is not actually a braid, it's micro-dyneema. But it still has very little stretch. Once it is broken in it gets softer and turns whiter. I would start with 20 lb then maybe try 14 lb for that 6500 reel.

I still use fireline 14 lb for surf fishing and I use whiplash 65lb for jigging the canal.

Thanks Slip I was leaning twards the Fireline. I posted this here in hopes that we would get some others to post as everyone has their favorite line but looks like it did not work. Have you been to the new Dunkin Donuts on 28 yet. Just finished that one and are now doing one over in Lakeville off 105.
