Does this mean you are quitting for the year? I haven't met my Krispy quota yet, so I am going to keep fishing.

Krispy, what's your breakdown % as far as bait caught versus artificial caught?

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole

Not quittin, just upping the goal. Looking for a 40 before the season ends
over 30#s this year 6 on eels, 1 on a Jr Atom (imho the best big fish metal lip swimmer)
Add 2 more unconfirmed over 30's on eels if ya feelin' generous

U have to be lucky enough, like me to have the big fish intercept the big baits.Like they did here in NJ.This has been going on for 5 yrs now but this yr was off the charts.
Not lots of skill the fish where there to be caught.I coached this 16 yr old kid through the fight an pulled a 40 on the beach for him one mornin.
I had a yr that most good guys don't do in a lifetime..

There are plenty of 30 pound fish out there... bigger ones too. Krispy.. why do you think no one is catching them?? I think it's just seems that way because the only one who still posts pics is #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& . We take pics for articles and memories and once in a while for the board..We learned that the HARD way.

Great point Dave! Your right there are plenty of guys cacthing multiple 30lb fish...to me that size is no longer a benchmark of anything...certainly not a big deal anymore..a 40lb fish, yes but 30lb fish are now the new 20lb fish there are loads of them around....I have no idea why he would think no one is catching them? And I also know you have had your share I post pictures to start controversy Good or bad at least people talk!! Its to bad, you should post your pics dave,, what the heck is wrong around here?? Let people post there pic!!

If that were true youd stop posting lame pics of 30s Steve birddogs for you
From reading these boards, the majority of members are not sticking multiple 30s per season. Good for you if you are oke: Some threads arent about what your doing, its helping each other become better fishermen. "Good or bad at least people talk!!" If you so intently need people to talk about you, call some reports in to the papers, then call a therapist

I would post pics but I can't.
30's aren't exactly 20's...
I think what #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& calls controversy some might call conversation.
I enjoy it.

Krispy, lighten up, Read some of my posts from the past, I try and tell people what I do...its not to hard to figure out...Find rocks ....toss eels....All I am saying is that from what I hear and see there are many 30lb fish weighed in at the local tackle shops and it just becomes routine.....Like in the past many 18-20lb fish where weighed in, you become numb to it and its not a big deal to see one anymore....after awhile you thearize that there must be a lot of them around...

As for the last part there , it was a joke but, you are right! I need a threapist bad! and I am a SMF!

I have not fished hard in a couple of seasons due to my daughter and the house. What I believe is going on, is that we as a society tend to be a lazy society, and becase of that many are fishing the easiest places to access, fishing the first thing out of their bag rather than taking the time to get eels, pogies, etc.. The better fish I have caught have all come from places where there was a good walk involved to get to the spot, the spot all had rocky structure, none of the fish came on anything smaller than a 2+ oz danny, a 5oz jig and rubber combo, eels, pogie chunks, and live bait. Because of this I am sure many are limiting themselves to a certain size fish based on the structure they are fishing and the kind of fishing they are doing. I hope to fish a bit this October, but that depends on many things, but the nights I fish will be places, and methods where I have traditionally caught good fish, using methods that have worked for me. Since becoming a member here I have fished with some who I consider hardcore, and some of the best fishermen in the Northeast, either directly learning from them, or indirectly by fishing with others who have learned from them. I am a better fisherman today because of it.

Thanks to those people, I am sure you know who you are.

I agree, everyone wants to fall out of there car and bang a large , doesnt work that way. Also you are right, I feel bad for the people who scoff at either eels , or bait (as long as its fresh) there is no better way to a cow then live bait or fresh chunked bait.Those guys the other night on cutty who banged all the 40lb fish, did so on eels....for every 40 cought on a plug, there will be several caught on some form of live or fresh bait

The Kid caught a good fish.He's proud of his accomplishment.I'm sure there was more to follow an there was. 30's are not as common as #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& says or U would have more.

What makes u think ur so special...
I never ever once read any Info out of u that I could apply to be succesfull.Yet u always chime in with ur remarks..

The last page and a half of this thread speaks for itself..
All I wanted was to get more info on consistently catching 30+ fish, not wade through banter and guys boasting how everyone is catching 30s and the rest of us must suck.
When I become successful, Ill start posting some info for you NIB
Its to bad this site is spiraling into one useless thread after another or good threads gone stupid

Finally, hey NIB Great post and I agree with it...... If you want to know how to consistantly catch 30lb fish krispy....follow the guys around who do just that! You do have a habit of asking a question and then attacking the person or person of your choice who answers it...screw that....go fish..."Cows Redux" sounds like some c rated french movie.......As I look over the thread I think the question has been answered numerous times....Put the time in...simple as that....Human beings are far smarter than fish....the things eat, know where they do and when they do and catch, really isnt much more to it than that......How many years have you chased stripers seriously from the surf? there are guys here who have many more years and time and grade, I think anyone who catches large bass consistantly should be listened to..You make comments on things you know nothing about...like saying certain things about people you dont know. Listen to what has been said and go apply it....Cows??? %$%$%$%$ that you catch whats there, size of fish is what it is...I think one other piece of advice I could give , is that far to many guys here are fixated on the use of "wood" or plugs, that seems to be the in thing, however at least here in Rhode Island, they are no where near as good as a live eel....not even close......Being a martyr and saying one only fishes plugs is no badge of honor to me ...its a badge of stupidity...But hey I have also witnessed first hand the plug purists beg for an eel when they are getting there arse handed to them by the eel guy on the beach.....

Anyway, keep attacking, your very good at it.....I am not great with the computer or these war of words but thats fine, I will glady take my fishing skill over computer skills any day of the week.......Catch em" up
