So we can go to meetings sit around and tell fish stories

I have told this story before that during the moratorium, I caught 5 schoolies one morning at Deep Hole. I went and told the owner of Top of the Dock Bait and Tackle (since closed) that I had caught 5 Stripers. He called me a liar in front of the whole store full of Narr "sharpies".

He said everyone knows there are no Bass left.


Old timers like myself Mike P, DZ, Makai, even some young guys like Nebe and RI Rockhound have been saying it for years now. The Striper population is in trouble. YOY doesn't till the whole story.

If you ever find a Pompanette "Spin Gaff" buy it. I'll trade you something good for it.

For you George, I'll try and find one. After all your fingers are more important than mine. Besides I see something greenish may be coming my way. <°)))))>{

You wanna use something that works great try the Gripper. It's made of plastic and it floats. Rugged as all getout. Only cosy about 14 bucks. I got turned onto it by Porky Francis on the Vineyard.It even locks. Looked hedgy to me at ist till I tried it.My boga's all hang on the wall now along with the old gaffs.Couple extra pounds I don't drag out on the rocks anymore.
