SPOTS - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Depends on the guy and the spot.

It's that simple. Good guy, knows how to clam up if he hits a good bite, and the spot can take pressure, fine. Same guy, different spot, one that only a couple of people can fish the right way-- nope

mike we use to be able to tell who was there by there water mark in may an june. ( goin round corners makes water marks)
Ya never blew the valve where ya fished. herring juce tells all.
some of the funny stuff that went on when i lived in falmouth.
the guys never thought to look in my live well when it was emty.
A guy I know , we talked in code and lied like bastages to each other and fished together.
any way he show up on nauset alittle late, He had a hard time findin herrin

any way he standin by my red ford and askin any fish and I was beatin round the bush,

I agree with Mike P. Depends on the guy and the spot. My partner knows all my secret spots. He's the only one. The other guys I fish with occasionally know SOME of my secret spots. But, let's face it. How secret are our spots? Joe Pagano at Nelsons in P-Town use to tell me that the bass have been going to the same spots for 1000 years. The structure may change and move around but the bass will be in the vicinity.

Like the mafia saying goes,
keep you're mouth shut,
and never talk to anyone!

kippy · 08-19-2005, 06:29 AM

I believe that you should only show spots to a few people you can trust and will not show the spot to someone else. All you need is a chain reaction to start and the spot is gone. This is the best method to keep spots:

JohnR · 08-19-2005, 07:21 AM

Been burned a few times, so if it is someone I know and trust, and there is a give and take, I'll talk a little.

It also depends on the spot, everyone know about WH and you can go with little fear and repurcusion. Not all of the fish are caught in "secret" places. But some places cannot support high traffic, and those places don't get talked about.

ThrowingTimber · 08-19-2005, 06:24 AM

Seriously I'd rather fish by myself. Too many "men" fishing with tampons in nowadays.

buncha gossipy lil 8itches.

Sell ya out in a second...............

I love it when the old timers are like "You showed up by yourself..." yeah.. told ya I would..keeping my word "Good cuz such and such.. would have half the internet down here by now..." I'll never forget that night I almost fell off the cliff I was standing on I was laughing soo hard, I think I can still hear chris laughing at that one....... That was pretty funny and so was "tell him to stfu.. all you need in your hand is a rod!" & "you better go weigh that in at the other end of the state and come up with a good story.." Gotta love the

(whos this) "Oh I dunno what I was using, one of them things" I love that one I borrow from that one heavily. "What'd it weigh in at?, ..... ahh my scale must be off" "Enough about me... Lets talk about me....."

But being frank. Dave I wouldnt tell ya a thing

or I'd get you fit shaced then take you.. But then again most of the time Im like Seargent Schultz..... I've left fish to go fish with folks where I know theres no fish

You got a better shot at landing on the sun barefoot than getting anything outta me..

But then again theres old folks (who get all doped up on Geritol, before they go out at night

) that I'll call and volunteer any up to the minute stuff I see first hand.....and thats gods honest truth

But seriously watch for sell outs.....

Selling my soul for a few bucks?

I don't need anyone's "spots" and don't we have anything of value to dicuss here on this board anymore besides spot insecurity? Unbeleivable...................

Flap - give us something good to discuss, dig into your Bag-O-Tricks and start a worthwhile topic, PLEASE

The summer doldrums are almost as bad as the cabin fever shaknasties...

I can't WAIT for the fall run to start...

capesams · 08-19-2005, 11:30 AM

thought I found big spot on my

but come to find out it only a milk dud that I sat on last week.

mrstriper · 08-19-2005, 11:47 AM

Thanks cape sam's... I actually chuckled during my lunch hour...how you doing lately???

jettyjockey18 · 08-19-2005, 12:02 PM

the interblab appears to have come full circle... in the beginning, people would draw maps of where to find fish, then spots got burned, people got pissed, yada yada yada...now, fishing reports have now become a chest thumping exercise of "look at me, i catch heap big fish all night long but because i had to climb a 300-ft cliff and walk 21 miles over hot coals i'm not telling you where, na na na"...complete waste of bandwidth...

i don't need to know the exact rock you were standing on, but could you at least clue me in as to what state you were fishing in???...

Guys and Gals - it is JUST the Internet, not some holier than thou, prime importance, fate of the free world in the balance type of entity...

Dave a little of both you know or should know how much I like the articles you have done. Capesams thats great now you got me thinking I need to look for spots at home in the bathroom.

By the way Clammer and I stold a new hot spot from a few guys the other night out to the islands. They were trolling tubes in a area about the size of my house back and forth and getting fish. So when they left I took a ride over and marked the spot on the gps and don't you know they came flying back over from about 4 miles away to push us out. All I wanted to do was see what the bottom looked like and we moved back to were we had been getting fish all night. So if any of you guys would like a new hot spot let me know and I will post the numbers here

and we can all enjoy this guys spot.
