Oct. OTW - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Pete_G · 09-19-2005, 07:53 PM

The new OTW hasn't shown up in the shop yet.

And I'm scared to even look in it when it does.

No one wants to let us who don't have our copies yet know who the fool is?

Got it...sorry missed that post! Thanks...what a cheesehead Steve McKenna is!

quoted by nebe: well i had a freind read it to me over the phone.. im not pissed at all.

those spots are 'has been' spots. kinda like some of the old spots you read about on the cape that no longer produce like they used to.

if anything i am glad, as it will send the googans in the wrong direction.

Steve is no fool.. i fish with him occasionally and while i am surprised at this, i'm not going to loose sleep over it.

come on nebe, when's the last time you fished at the knob?
I understand what you are saying though.
It's still surprising to see it all laid out you have to admit.
alot of people are gonna be pissed off, what about trash and parking issues that can happen when crowds show up because of this?

Nebe · 09-19-2005, 08:25 PM

good point, i should say that the 2 spots close to me have been slow producers for the past 2 seasons.

I guess the key to the game is to stay off the map and avoid any areas where people already fish.. 'make your own spots'.. kind of like bassmaster's 'make your own reports'

i will have to read it in person though.

I agree w/ Nebe on his statement above.

I went to Steve's seminar on that was held at the Jamestown Striper Club. There were about twenty people that attended with me being the only one from S-B. There was a similiar seminar at the West Valley Inn the previous nite that I did not attend but there were 300 people.

I have yet to read the article but it must be the same information he described at the seminar.

I am applying this knowledge to better understand how to fish other locations that I'm presently aware of and those that I yet to explore.

Steve is a cool guy. There are worst things in life to bicker about then castrate a sharpie that is trying to better others lifes if they can make the connection.

At one of these spots there has been talk on this site, of parking problems already.

Eben - always remember, "has been" spots to one are "prime" spots to another. With all the constant talk about spot burning on this site, I'm surprised anyone would give him a break since he mentioned exacts vs generalities. One of them is definitely a spot I fish every fall and there is very limited parking to begin with. Just some food for thought.......

like BF said.....R.P. does it all the time...in VERY sensitive areas!!!....he just don't care.........just tryin to sell magazines, I guess...

I took a quick look at it today, all i needed to see was the drawings. Decided to stop by one of the spots to listen to the game and eat dinner, man that place was packed musta been atleast a dozen people, the 5 that i could actually see were weighted snug on the bottom, so much for driftin an eel or jiggin it. They will prolly get the skunk tonight and never return, atleast we can hope.

Amazing.i couldn't believe what I was looking at.I went to look at one spot there's only room for maybe 2 small cars.on a very quite residential road.I can see that one getting shut down in no time.
I have had my dinner at the other local myself.Although not very appetizing in a south wind.I fished three of the spots this week an only had one small bass to show for it.
