Steve if you heard all the voices in my head that I do, maybe you wouldn't think so, maybe you would have me committed! ;)
But I'm glad you were entertained. :HappyWave:

Hey Dark, how are you? I was wondering if you would send me a pm or tell me here about pressure and how it affects the bass? I watch moon and tide, as well as wind. I fish RB and was just looking for another pointer to help with my luck at it. Also, what sites are you getting the water temp and waether chart you posted?
KEEP FISHING>
Woodstock? A always suspected you were a hippy Communist subversive, DS. Now I KNOW you are! You freak!!!:ROFLMAO
So...you have any pics of you at Woodstock?That would make you about 59 years old, I didn't think you were that ancient.:d
I wasn't old enough to make Woodstock, ya goofball. ;) :HappyWave:
I have to admit I would have loved to be there, though. I would give anything to be able to see Hendrix play live, he was the man. :thumbsup:
As for Communists, I think the only Communist subversives we have on this site are you and Frankiesurf. :moon:
Cardoc what's up, long time no see! Any luck with the job search or are you still looking? I posted a "looking for work" thiing for ya,
http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...ead.php?t=5042
I hope things worked out.
Those charts came from our front page, RB and BB water temp charts, the links are easy to follow, let me know if ya have difficulty.
The barometric pressure is for NJsurfer.com, I believe we have a link for that here as well under the weather stickies at the top of some of the pages.
I have a friend who's like the DR of barometric pressure he's so obsessive about it. The guys who paid attention to their yearly fishing logs and those pressure readings in the last 48 hours are happy, that's about all I can say for now. :lookhappy: ;)
Study that stuff and keep a log, it will lead you to Nirvana. Give me a shout via pm or e-mail when yer going out. :HappyWave:
Ya put me in a Woodstock mood, bababooey, you frikkin Commie. ;) :HappyWave:

Hey Dark check your email. Also you'll see I posted on the link about work for me. :fishing:
Of course it's solid advice, wassamatta fa u? :kooky:
It takes specialized knowledge to be able to use the clambrella and clamzilla rigs effectively. Otherwise you're just wastin your time. :bucktooth:
BTW, Killie is the original inventor of the Clambrella rig design and deserves credit. Only a secret sharpie like him coulda drawn up something as bizarre as that. :clapping: :HappyWave:
He's got the best prices on T-shirts and stickers, he will even create a custom logo for ya, all ya gotta do is ask.

Today's tip:
The outgoing is also good if yer fishin in the daytime this week. ;) :cool:
Today:
1. Reno has clams.
2. The water is warm, mud is still cold. Late afternoons are golden. ;)
Bunker are coming from the East. :plastered:
BUNKA!!!!BUNKA!!!THE BUNKA ARE COMEING!!!!:D:clapping::dribble:
These are some of the funniest posts I have seen all season. You should consider having a "Best of" section here. I remembered reading them but lost the place they were at. It took a while to find these. Great stuff, keep them coming!:clapping::clapping::clapping:
Thanks Buckethead, I've been thinking of that for awhile now. If one or more people mentions an idea, that puts me in gear to do it. I'll keep ya posted, glad ya liked them.
Tips for fishin in front of the weather:
1. Bloodworms and tapes
2. Tommy scored some small today, morning and just now. :clapping:
Tommy is the man.
1. You can't catch fish when the moon is full and bright. :rolleyes:
2. You can't catch fish on artificials in March. :rolleyes:
3. Clams are what ya want to catch the big early Spring bass. :rolleyes:
What's the common denominator to beat the odds in the above scenarios?
Find bait and actively (or sporadically) feeding fish. http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.gif
Find water that's at the right temps.

People send me links to the most inane threads that people start on the internet. I know people are just starting out, but I wonder if people think before they ask these questions. :don't know why: Or more specifically, do they even do any research before they ask the questions.?
What is research? :huh:
Getting a little piece of information or intel, and using that info to learn more about how to fish, what to fish, and where to fish.
When is the best time to fish?
Low light situations, but that changes seasonally.
What does the water look like on the beach?
There are now dozens of cameras covering every major ocean beach. When Killie wants to know the conditions, he simply calls Finchaser. :laugh: :HappyWave:
For those of us not that fortunate, click on a cam, and see for yourself. I'm checking the surf cams at least 3x/day during the season. I don't want to hear how things are out there, I want to see for myself. :thumbsup:
(for the bays, I agree there are no cams, you have to kind of figure that out. You can tell a lot from minor comments in a person's reports, if they're kind enough to include the conditions. That's why my reports are so detailed sometimes.)
Here's my response to one of our newer members Cardoc:
Here's a guy who wants to learn. :thumbsup: He PMs me asking for weather and tide/temp links, and then sends me back some of his own that he's been using. :clapping: He's glad to hear the advice of others, but also wants to bring something to the table through his own effort. A guy like that I'm glad to help, because he doesn't want to be spoon fed, he wants to learn for himself, by researching and doing. And... he knows how to use the "Search" key before he asks his questions. :clapping:
********************
Lesson for today, How will the water temps affect my fishing and when it's most optimal to fish?
1. One successful Spring pattern you hear about a lot is to "fish the outgoing as the warm water from the creeks and small streams will be the warmest as it dumps out into the bay." Generally, that's true.
2. When it's NOT true is important to learn as well. Storms, rain, noreasters, snow, etc, will all dump cold dirty water out to the bay via the rivers, creeks, and marshes. Outgoing will bring lots of debris, bulkheads, and assorted crap down to interfere with fishing.
3. In cases like this it's important to know the difference between ocean and bay temps. If the ocean water is warmer and you have trees and boat parts drifting on the outgoing, it should be a no brainer to fish the incoming where in some places the water is warmer and cleaner.
4. So why are folks still confused, Mr Turd Ferguson, you may ask? :don't know why:
Because a lot of people will look at one site, or gauge, and that's the extent of their motivation. Looking at ocean temps, and then comparing them to bay temps? :eek:
What a concept...Oh the horror, Turd, that's too much work, we just want to go fishing! :kooky:
5. Study the temp differentials all through the tide. Ask yourself "why" when the day is bright and sunny, you'll see a downward spike at some point in the day on the graph. http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.gif
6. Then compare the recorded temps and graphs to the tide charts for that area. If you look at them every day, like I do (at least 4x/day on a slow day :o), you may spot some trends or pattrns. That will be some scientific guidance as to when to start fishing, and for how long.
Take a look at these Raritan and Barnegat bay charts.
Come back at some time during the day, check them again with an understanding of the tides. How do they compare? How does the info you develop tomorrow compare with today? http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.gif

7. Above all, patterns are made to be broken. The toughest thing about fishing this Spring has been the lack of a consistent pattern. You may have something working for 2 days, for the next 3 days it's something else. Remember that temp guages and stations in the bay represent the temps taken at one spot and don't reflect all the geographical variations for that area. You also have to think about how wind and developing weather patterns will affect the bite as well. :learn:
8. The fisherman/woman who wants to truly learn and become better through their own efforts will challenge themselves to think about "Why" some of these things happen, and learn to profit by placing themselves more frequently in places where fish are likely to be.
Hope this helps, people. They didn't have any of this info available at your fingertips 20 years ago... ;)
