I know there where more then a few #50's reported this spring and summer and many I'm sure we haven't heard of. I haven't heard of any #50's and not a whole lot of #40's (shore or boat) lately. Am I just not in touch with striper nation:huhu: Where they at jammit!!

23.1llb from Aquidneck island Sunday night

redlite · 10-08-2003, 04:28 PM

I can't keep it in anymore.
Know of several last week.
Was throwing back 30# to 40# fish like they were schoolies friday and saturday nights. Hooked up on almost every single cast. I only caught about 5 fish that were under 30#, all over 20#. Took home 38# and 39# fish friday night. They were all big fish piled up and feeding hard. Most amazing 2 nights of fishing I have YET to ever have. My hands still look like I put them in a meat grinder. Its that good hurt though. But just like that, they were gone Sunday.

Shore or boat?

redlite · 10-09-2003, 11:44 AM

Terra Firma.

RIJIMMY · 10-09-2003, 11:46 AM

wow, I thought for sure it was a boat, great job!

chris L · 10-09-2003, 11:50 AM

terra firma is that the name of your boat ?

must have been a nice night of fishing thats what dreams are made of . I want to fish soon hopefully not get food sick again . My season is just about to start .

redlite · 10-09-2003, 12:05 PM

I'm too poor to afford a boot.

fishsmith · 10-09-2003, 01:49 PM

Nice job Mike, you've put your hours in. And you've got the best boat there is, a friends boat.

redlite · 10-09-2003, 01:59 PM

Strange feeling being an internet fishing hero.................I want an 82#er...............

l.i.fish.in.vt · 10-09-2003, 02:13 PM

Mike the funny thing is i have only fished the surf there a coulpe of times, i was a boat fisher till i started on the cape.i'll be looking for that 80 but will settle for a keeper.

Washrat · 10-09-2003, 02:31 PM

Mike,

Its Kostecki I talked with the kid and you may see me on fri. I missed the blitz last week where we were. day on day off.

Washrat · 10-09-2003, 02:50 PM

redlite,

i was there thurs and sunday, but not over the weekend.

I am starting to question the integrity of my relationship with my girl.

See you fri....maby

Blitzseeker · 10-09-2003, 03:21 PM

I'm guessing I was where Redlite was, because I had the same experience last weekend and everyone I talked to did as well.

For example, saw a guy get a 42" fish....on a FLY ROD. That is no joke.

Then Sunday nothing.

Good times.

redlite · 10-09-2003, 04:14 PM

secret private spot. only 3 of us fishing with access. No flyrodders.

Blitzseeker · 10-09-2003, 04:19 PM

Congrats...sounds like a helluva private spot.

My spot was not private, but results were the same.

Caffeine fisherman · 10-09-2003, 09:35 PM

My buddy Geoff just cought a 47 punder on Aquidneck Island Yesturday with a black needlefish. At 530pm it was just his second cast he hooked into it.
Iced it down and brought it into Ed's next morning.
His first 40+. And to top it off the Redsox beat the evil empire later on that night. Sometimes life just doesn't get any better.

macojoe · 10-09-2003, 10:19 PM

You no, I have never caught a 40# yet?? I have caught fish to 49 inches and not a one was over 38 # I get so made when i catch thesae fish and an't even break a 40

even that fish yesterday was 44 inches and 28#'s For the fall run I expected more weight??

Goose · 10-11-2003, 09:21 AM

Gill and I did a little winta scoutin and it paid off! Couldn't keep an eel down last night best fish where in the mid 30"s until I resorted to chunks

To make a long story short...I was fishin a area I had only fished once before(skunked) and was difficult to land fish. I got help from waves as I brought her to a safe rock, as I grabed the leader and pulled it towards me the freakin leader snaps, I jumped water(turned out to be waste high, thank God)..I love palm burn ......down fall is 39#. long and lean. I just can't seem to get bass with big #'s. I'm not b%&*tchin

See what the moon did to my eyes
