OTW - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

kippy,

Give me a break, the whole point of what I was saying is that the lights just didn't make a bit of difference...not one bit. Besides, we weren't exactly covered up with other fisherman.

Is this the type of spot burning you expect?

Find the rock with the red "X" and cast towards the water.

Again, the entire shoot in this location was under the cover of darkness with no mention of how to get there, where to park. It just deals with how to catch cows on plastic -- a timely subject with eels likely to disappear.

Problem is, fishermen gossip like 13 year old girls

Steve M. is damaged goods for a while. I doubt there's much he could do right in the eyes of some...

Spence,

You are so right about the gossiping, but if Steve is damaged goods (despite all the help he's offered to countless anglers over the years) , I'm surprised David Pickering and Tim Coleman are still alive after writing dozens of "where to" stories. Tim's weekly fishing column in CT is reason enough to hunt him down.

Charlie Soars only has to worry about the guys that fish in boats as he gives away spots like Sakonnet Point, Warren Point, Land's End and Quicks Hole, etc.

I have no problem with it. Sounds pretty cool to me.

IF the shoot was as innocuous as fish eye says. I'm willing to give then the benefit of the doubt until it airs.

Do you people really think there is a spot on God's green earth in striperdom that hasn not been written about in the last 40 years? Most of you guys are rank amateurs, period. Grow up! Frtank daignault writes Striper Hot spots and people from this site are regurtlay seen on the SS.COM site still s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up to him! And Like FishEYE said, Beavertail and one small fish. Mike P., slash tires? I thought you were above that %$%$%$%$, I respected you until that comment. JohnR. , "VERY DISAAPOINTING"? Soco SoHo, Boho who the %$%$%$%$ really cares and when that show airs for fifteen minutes on a Tuesday morning at 8:00am in February who will remember? Grow the %$%$%$%$ up, all of you. Most of you rookies can't keep your mouths shut anyway. "Charlie Soares gives up places like Sakonnet, Quickes etc.. First of all most of you couldn't hold Charlies bait bucket and secondly ever see a chart? Got half a %$%$%$%$ing brain? The Elizabeth Islands are top secret? I am ashamed of you guys, really, petty assed girls the whole %$%$%$%$ing lot.

Tattoobobs concern I believe as first mentioned was being tailgated by someone who after passing him at 80 plus m.p.h. was weaving, not driving staight. I think he felt his safety was in jeopardy. After the next post this thread was mugged big time. Used to be if your vehicle had commercial markings you drove in a sane manner. When its so easy to be i.d. (your name plastered in big letters on side of truck) one would think one would drive better. I think his mention of R.I. being invaded by OTW staff had to do more with the way whoever was driving was operating the truck.

Whatever happened to this thread after that is anyones guess.

Flaptail, as I read your post It helps to really see the light, your post above is one of the best I have seen and really says it all. I agree 100% with everything you say and really dont have much more to add exept to echo everything you said.

Simmer down flap. Yeah, I admit I couldn't hold Stevies eel sack. That being said. There is a difference between a spot being written about a few year ago and one being burned today... IN THE SHORT TERM due to immediate increased pressure. I can attest to this since I regularly fish one of Steve's top 5.
This CAN lead to long term damage due to POSSIBLE loss of access. No one like to see their spots talked about due to these issues. I don't think that is very difficult to understand. This behavior is NOT limited to use fisherman. Hunters are the same as are some surfers "Surf your own beach". I'm sure other groups can be included as well.

Should the guy get threats? absolutely not. But NO ONE can judge whether or not individuals lose respect for someone due to something that person does. It's an individuals call.

It's all George Bush's fault I'm sure.
