Beach vs. Boat

[Got Stripers]

I was out Saturday in that thick stuff, thank god for GPS, good bite in the morning in the Westport area and then for yuks; we did head to Cuttyhunk. I'm just crazy enough to do it and at 25 knots mind you, but with enough prop in the water, I can make a rapid and radical course adjustment.

I've been in a few surf vs boat threads, in fact the all mighty #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and I went at it good the first time I joined up. I can see his attitude hasn't mellowed much with age, but to each his own, at 52 I couldn't give a rats ass how or if you catch bass. I say catch them any way you can and by all means with a method and location that makes you happy. If that's with your feet stuck in the sand, slinging a slimmy creature so be it. If your mental and plugs and funny pants are your thing, go for it. If you like serious work and canal fishing, jig away boys and girls.

I like your attitude Flap, you and I definately need to spend some time out there. I've got my boat back, so if you can provide the ramp, I can provide the boat. I might have some rubber we can use too.

pics and dates

tell the timetable.. (bottles (CC local)... any good stories about him ) no big deal who came first, or who made what first.. heard nothing but good about most of the NY boys from the grey haired crowd, and some of the Worcester gang, I have talked to.

Some nice shots, and even Arnold hung with some of these guys.

And knowing what it once was, well, as meloncholy as it is, it is also nice to remember. Good thread Flap... Thanks!

Eben -- ya skipped all over the place // in your 1st post you rated boat fish as less of a fish or better words// accomplishment // all I said was in certain situations it [[could]] be that the boat fishing has its challanges //
Flap /put it in different words but you have to [should] respect everyones choice /of fishing == Also it may not be someone,s first choice/ but its this way or no way ==for physical, medical ,or dollar issues //
I choose not to troll /but if I went tomorrow /except for the T & W I would get my A$%% kicked....
there are soooooo many tricks of the trade that we can,t even start that thread.....
what,s easier or more thrilling // catching a 50 from shore on frozen squid . or a 50 from boat on L/L with a homemade plug //

both guys are charged/proud and right they s/b

you just have it in your mind that shore fishing is that more challanging /all I was saying .& flap added to it ;;[[DEPENDS}}

fishing the inside of S/P because there is a heave on while there are guys plugging the outter ledges of B/R in rigs /getting tossed to Chit ,knowing they could flip at any time ======= surf rules //
don,t think soooooooooo // I,ve been fishing a loooooooooooooong time & seen a ton of fish caught // never once did I ask the angler //boat or shore ??????
