Take a stranger fishing...

[Rockfish9]

most of us have done it, we've been at an event and while talking fishing, have made "plans" to get together and fish...unfortunatly, it rarely happens.. it's not intentional, time and life just gets in the way.

Every season I make an effort to take a few people that are un able to get out bass fishing, out with me, but rarely are they seasoned vets.. so usualy, I spend the night ( or day) untangling lines, unhooking fish or d#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g to avoid a hook sunk into my own hide...

Most of the fisherman from my youth have passed on... I've lost a few fishing partners, most recently we ( the site) and others lost a dear friend and fellow fisherman, one that I had made "plans" to fish with at plugfest two years ago and never got around to it..

so here's my proposal, using this thread ( Mods maybe could make it a sticky if there is enough interest) members here could make a "plan" to fish with a fellow member and see it thorough, post the pictures of the outing here for everyone to share, you dont have to reveal your "secret" spots, hell you dont even have to catch any fish ( something I always feel obligated to do) just go out and do what we all love to do.. fish and B.S... I feel this would not only enrichen all of our lives, but it would give others a perspective on what it is like to fish a different patch of "land" because we all come from different landscapes, I feel it would be an enlightening experience ...


To kick it off... I'll be on vacation the first week of June, normaly by then there are enough big fish around to make it worth it, that week I normaly live line mackerel in the river, it's shallow water fishing and often the action is explosive, some days, you can toss a spook to the the chasers and double your pleasure.., so if someone would like to spend a day rocking and rolling in the Merrimack river we'll make a plan....

None of us are getting any younger.. who knows one of us just might end up with a new fishing partner..

Could someone please move this, I thought I was in the Striper talk forum...sorry.
