Good points Rizzo and Pete. Two things that stand out are fishing the spots you know well, and stay near the bottom/strike zone as long as possible. A cape legend once told me "fish the f!#!$%!@N bottom for large." This doesn't mean drowning bait, it simply means fish near the bottom regardless of what you are throwing whether it be plugs or bait. Some large will come on top, but I'll take my chances near the bottom,bottom, bottom 99 out of 100 times.

Pete, Goosefish is more of a student of angling as opposed to striper fishing- right now he is focosing in on smallmouth- he just took a 4.5 sight fishing......
He only fishes 4 or 5 spots tops and knows the structure like the back of his hand. I have taken him to a few of my spots and i can always sense his aprehention if he doesnt know how deep the water is, or where the dropoffs or boulders are.. infact, last season i found myself pointing out places i wanted to take him into in advance so he could go over his charts ahead of time. Hes a damn good teacher though... he has taught me lots and lots of things i never would have dreamed of alone.

I figured I'd bump this up for fall, it is worth reviewing.
I already met my goals for the season, and much of what members posted on this thread was the reason.

Does this mean you are quitting for the year? I haven't met my Krispy quota yet, so I am going to keep fishing. 
Krispy, what's your breakdown % as far as bait caught versus artificial caught?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Not quittin, just upping the goal. Looking for a 40 before the season ends 
over 30#s this year 6 on eels, 1 on a Jr Atom (imho the best big fish metal lip swimmer)
Add 2 more unconfirmed over 30's on eels if ya feelin' generous |

U have to be lucky enough, like me to have the big fish intercept the big baits.Like they did here in NJ.This has been going on for 5 yrs now but this yr was off the charts.
Not lots of skill the fish where there to be caught.I coached this 16 yr old kid through the fight an pulled a 40 on the beach for him one mornin.
I had a yr that most good guys don't do in a lifetime..

There are plenty of 30 pound fish out there... bigger ones too. Krispy.. why do you think no one is catching them?? I think it's just seems that way because the only one who still posts pics is #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&   . We take pics for articles and memories and once in a while for the board..We learned that the HARD way.  |

And I also know you have had your share  I post pictures to start controversy  Good or bad at least people talk!! Its to bad, you should post your pics dave,, what the heck is wrong around here??

If that were true youd stop posting lame pics of 30s Steve birddogs for you 
From reading these boards, the majority of members are not sticking multiple 30s per season. Good for you if you are oke: Some threads arent about what your doing, its helping each other become better fishermen. "Good or bad at least people talk!!" If you so intently need people to talk about you, call some reports in to the papers, then call a therapist  |
