Who classified StriperTalk as Surf only? I thought it meant Talk about Stripers, hence the name..   |

There is a forum for boat fishing which leaves stripertalk for surf by deductive reasoning.

It's all fishing....
I cut my serious teeth in the surf, on rocks actually up here. Got totally into it. Studied it, studied threads, posts, did search to learn more, then went out to apply it myself. Was very good therapy to help me get through a divorce...
Got a boat this year. Still hit the surf, twice this week. so far. Boat once, 0400 this AM. But it's been ten years since I've had a boat, either power or sail, so has been a goal of mine to return to. Makes me happy, and I don't regret it.
As for the boat vs surf stuff....I don't get it. I am not so corinthian to think that a guy who has only ever boatfished hasn't earned his stripes....he just did it differently than me. Hell, I got a 100 ton ticket that I don't use. It's just that my roots were on boats. But I've spent much more fishing time in the surf.
DZ, I have a great deal of respect for the type of fishing you do, and the history of surf. There is just so much of the sport developed there. I just don't buy into the surf only school. As was stated in another thread, a surfcaster in a boat can be deadly.

Hehehe, uhh, no. The main forum is general fishing, and yes, there is a leaning towards Surfcasting as Surfcasting does not have it's own dedicate forum. It has been decided several times in the past that surfcasting does not need it's own forum and that general pursuit of striped bass, whether shore, boat, yak, or fly can be discussed in the main forum. The specifics of Surfcasting, which is what most of us do most of the time, is for the main Stripertalk board. The part where Boat, Yak, and Fly forums is preferred is when you get into the nitty-gritty of Boating, Yaking, or Longwanding. These are just general suggestions. The only things that need really to get moved are generally things which are little or no relation to fishing that get bounced to scuppers..
If someone is talking about a particular rigging method that holds true for all fishing, then Stripertalk is obviously fine. If someone is talking about how to improvise on outrigger clips, probably best for the boating forum...
Above all, the board is how you guys use it... |

Its the high gas prices. As soon as they reached 3 bucks a gallon everyone went out and bought a boat and a truck to trailer it  |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I have noticed a similiar trend on the NJ Boards also....
Maybe its just a lack of good quality or maybe quanity of quality fish being caught from the surfcasters the past few seasons,,,
There is no-doubt that the Live-Lining Bunker Boaters are on top right now..
Like John mentioned its the membership that drives the converstions
and right now it's good to be a boat owner - except when it comes to gas prices . And like Joe mentioned, the cost of filling up the tank to drive to your favorite fishing hole is not cheap over the past couple of seasons...

Would there be interest in a "split the cost" section of the boards for those that want to pair up and surffish more economically? |

Ah, the New Jersey boards where Frank Daignault is worshipped! Funny how a guy like him has to go to a NJ board for a fan base. Hmmm....... why is that?????????   |
Why even try.........

My .02... I'm only interested in Surfcasting. I believe and always will that boat fish are a different category, altogether. Nice and all, but I'm just not interested.

I think the board reflects the striper fishery. As we change and adapt to meet the needs of catching fish so goes the board. It is not a bad thing it is just a mirror image of the fishery and the way of being proficient at catching quantities of good fish. If people were taking huge numbers os large bass on the beaches the slant of conversation and posts would revert to surfcasting from the rocks/sand. Its cyclical like everything else.
This particular board has a specific culture and disposition in terms of everyday postings which is cordial and open. Other boards are run in a tyrannical fashion where as John's "laissez faire" approach really makes for a great online community. S-B will reflect the fishery and the anglers actions regardless of the way they are fishing. Direct correlation to the methods being employed.
John job well done letting the board morph out of its infancy and into its adolescence.

Surf guys aren't posting as much, boaters have filled the void w/ lots of pictures. Site dynamics have changed as have the members

May was a real slow month for me. I kept hearing about guys catching good numbers of large off the boats. My usual spot was DOA, I started searching for new pastures and found some fish, but nothing to brag about.
I think the reason we are hearing and seeing more about boat fish is the boats are catching more fish worthy of mentioning. The new spot I have will produce.. just a matter of when and being there when it does.

Joe mentioned the effect of gas prices and he might be right. For me I have been out the same amount, but the success rate has been less so far. I have had a a couple of weekends with few to no fish and lots of gas money spent and the rewards to $ spent can make you think twice if you have to travel 1.5 hours. Of course, you can't catch them if you are not there and life is short - so what are you gonna do.
If I could afford a boat to use in the ocean - then I'd buy one. Someday I hope to have a small boat that I can use in the ocean, so I do not begrudge the boat guys - hey they are fishing too. It may be easier to move around and get access to different areas - in fact, it is, but you still have to have some skills to consistently pick up fish from a boat.
Guys that are consistently picking up large fish (e.g., Bill Nolan) must be very very good at what they do or they would not be routinely picking up fish that most of us could only dream of.
