can i justify this
to the wife
" I'm going out and getting a boat because all the bunker is up in the bay, shore access difficult where they are...and that is where the big bass are.
home earlier because i don't have to spend six hours a night praying that there is a couple of quality fish on the rocky shoreline that have not noticed that all the bait is way up in the bay."
what do you think my shot is?
before you even type, that was my first thought as well
not a shot in hell
go ahead, amuse me with your thoughts

Jim, been having the EXACT same conversation with my wife since last year. I really stressed that I will not be so exhausted all week since I wont be fishing all night. I actually got the answer I wanted, she said yes. the hard part now is trying to find a quality, reasonlably prioced boat that I can fsih with and put around the bay with the kids.
Its worth a shot.

huh,
I'm getting the i want a baby before we get a boat thing.
I'm using the excuse that a boat is gonna be alot cheaper than a kid, but maybe I should rephrase it, cause it doesn't seem to be working  |
60 % of the time, it works every time.

boat = cash flow money pit.
taxes, insurance, storage, docking, maintenance, repairs.
and we haven't even gotten to the gas or towing expense.
i dunno, it's nice to have a boat, but i wonder if it makes more sense to charter or share gas expense with a friend who has a boat.

Buy a boat, you won't go back.

If I didn't have it I would be totally insaner.

I did that twice since I've been married. Once with a Harley and another time with a truck..............neither time went over well. But she eventually got over it.  |

dear yoda, (aka snakeslinger)
i feel like start wars when i hear that saying " the dark side"
i hear ya, but it goes through my head alot
you got your big fish already this year...pressure's off..fish with a clear head for the rest of the season
go 3 days with el skunko, not even a hit, in three different parts of the state, when you know guys are getting fish in the mid 30's to 40
thank god i have no hair becasue i woud pull it out
the bay is jersey like last year, except they were on the beaches down there
we are reaping the benifits from the bill that passed in jersey with bunker banning
now if we can keep arc out of the bay, that would be unbelievable
Maybe I'm a little antsy right now.....gotta relax |

You work hard ... buy the boat ... tell her it's for safety reasons ... that you don't want to spend so many nights on the rocks that it would be safer to fish from a boat ... that angle may work, also tell her you want to take her out on it ...  |

How about a large jet ski equiped with the necessary items like rod and tackle holders, live passive well. That would be so cool especially if you have a few fishing buddys with the same setup.
You and wife can also use the jet ski. I bet she says yes.

"You can't spend it when you're dead, so i'm enjoying it now."
"Think of all the money we'll save on having to buy fish for dinner."
"You'll have as much fun on it as I will." (Provided you don't "forget" to ask her.)
Look, I named it after you."

Perhaps that's the problem, the huge schools of menhaden are keeping the bass away from shore

Nice thought but untrue, All my fish are coming in 4 to 8 foot of water right up tight to the beach in some cases 20 feet from the beach...The problem is the fish are so well fed during the day they wont eat at night or you may get a few here and there but once bass are on bunker like this tactics needs to change, try fishing daybreak with a danny or poping plug...if you want it bad enough do what I used to do..I had a tank in my truck and would snag bunker from the docks in wickford etc...and look at all the coves till I found them then liveline them at your favorite shore spot..there are no excuses only solutions...Right now its a daytime thing... And when its a nightime thing its still awesome in a boat! |
