Can You Guys Believe How Crappy The Fishing Is This Year?

[Codfather4]

Thats funny, here on the south shore the fishing has been very good. A lot better than it was last year

[eelman]

Because there all in Rhode Island this is the best spring I have ever seen,, almost everynight a fish at least in the high 20lb range and since may 23rd I have only missed 2 nights, Its just to good not to force myself out there everynight........... Dont worry its just been an unusually cold spring, the bass will be there before you know and we in Rhody will all be s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g wind !

Gotta love those rocks....right #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&? Bassbabe and others doing well in Mass.....guessing most of you fish bait? Chunks, sandeels and the like? Yeah, you guys are doing well....but I would rather eat the sandeels and chunk bait myself than spike a rod and stare at it all day or night. Nothing wrong with it if thats what you like...all I am saying is its not my speed. I like to be more involved.

[Slingah]

think positive....plenty of fish around....its only crappy if you let it be

[vineyardblues]

I agree with Bigfish totally....Where have they gone? Or maybe they havent arrived yet...Hopefully...Even the Bluefish have been few and far between..I fish the southern part of the Cape...I got down to South Cape Beach sat morning around 4:30 a/m..Fished until 9:00...&^%& NADA..everything seemed perfect..Tide ,wind,dawn...NADA

Big, I wouldn't touch bait with a ten foot pole. It would make me AND my car smell horrendous. Chunking is not my speed, either, thank you. Although I won't be snotty about people who have a good time doing it. They can fish however they want, and I won't blame any lack of catching on my part on the fact that I choose to fish in a "more involved" manner. Don't assume that all I do is have my boyfriend bait my line and daintily toss it out into the water. Not my speed...bah.

Kudos to you Bassbabe on passing on rod-watching! Hope my comment did not offend you it was not meant that way. What is your preferred method of fishingBB? You may ball me BF. I did not mean to sound as though I was belittling you.

Its respectable to throw eels but when a guy dunks chunks he's goin ta hell.
A monkey can throw an eel a reel it in,,,give guy props for catchin when everyone else is pipping. People get the wrong idea about fishin ...its just bassassbackwards

[BigFish]

Not ripping anyones method of fishing Goose....its just that I hate bait dunking.....its the devils way!

A shpritz of Chanel #5 helps a lot.

[zacs]

i can't complain. not one bit.

although I did go on a fluke charter [bachelor party] on saturday and out of 15 people, we caught one short and a skate. Although only 8 or 9 of us were really fishing hard... the rest....

So to some up, striper fishing = good, fluking = bad.

True.... I know of 3 cape guys making the Rhody run 2 or 3 nights a week, bet there is a lot more than that!
