Who thinks Fisherwoman brags?

[Got Stripers]

Being new to this board, I really am clueless about who's who and the nature of past posts. Even so, I'd like to put in my two cents. I frequent about 6 fishing boards and this type of thread comes up from time to time. Information posted by people is offered voluntarily and it's there to read and use as we all see fit. If you don't like someones style or find their posts objectionable, then it's your choice to not read & respond to them. That doesn't mean others might not enjoy them or find something that would benefit them.

It always amazes me when this type of name calling comes up on fishing boards. You'd think we could all just get along, especially in light of our common interest. But then again, it's a mirror of REAL LIFE and not everyone get's along in real life, regardless of whether they have things in common. Personally, I post with the same real life motto I try to live by; if I don't have anything nice to say, I don't say anything at all. Nothing will bring havoc to a fishing board faster than this kind of negative thread. Even though I'm new here, I wanted to comment on this thread. As I have suggested on other boards I'm a regular on, if you feel you must comment keep it civil and if you can't; do it by private email.

Fisherwoman, your post kind of parallels my thread on quality vs quantity and you and I seem to have the same view on that. I too have spent my share of nights fishing for the cows, caught my share of bigs ones, but I'm more comfortable now fishing that 4am-noon bite. To those that think the big ones only come at night, you'd be surprised to know that my 6 biggest fish have all come during the day. My 52 and 55 lbers came in Hingham harbor in 1987 & 1988, back when the poggies were so thick you could walk on them. My other 4 biggest, all in the mid to upper 40's, came during a blitz at Peggotty Beach in Scituate which I stumbled apon during lunch one day some 12 years ago. Caught my share of big ones after dark, but all the cream of the crop have ironically come during the day.

4Stripers I say live and let live, Fisherwoman report away, I enjoy the reading. Tight lines.
