What can I say, Fin, your demand is getting stronger......:thumbsup:

^^ I dunno...he hasn't chimed in yet....:scared:
You know I put this up here as a goof, Madcaster....I know you get that...:HappyWave:
Kind of a satiric take on all the seminars you see out there now...we talk about this all the time,....guys fishing the salt 5 years or less, all of the sudden they're seminar speakers.....:kooky:
It's all about putting yourself in a place with good PR...
Some are good at that, some better than others....
But really, I was thinking what if....
What if there were a Finchaser seminar.....:learn:
He has forgotton more about fishing, than many will ever learn...
He pays attention to the subtle and basic things that might not seem glamorous to some...looking at the bait every time he's out there...only fishing certain wind and weather patterns, having the sense to stay home for others....:moon::laugh: http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.png
Practicing and preaching C&R because he's seen and fished through good times and bad....:clapping: :thumbsup:
I just don't know if he's seminar ready....
Think of Archie Bunker running a seminar...for Sensitivity Training...
Or a seminar on Diversity and Getting along with all Cultures.....:scared:
Or the Sargeant from Full Metal Jacket running a seminar on how to be kind and caring to others, every day...:kooky:
Nope, he's a little too rough around the edges...if we could fix those issues he would be an outstanding speaker...as he has a lot to teach..:learn:.others could learn a lot from him......and when he wants to be, he is a patient teacher...as some of us have been lucky to experience.....as long as ya being him peanut cakes.....:cool:
But there are days he's like a loose cannon...he was yelling at his long-time friends the other morning.,...because a lot of them have given up on bass fishing during these hot summer months....:argue:
Truth be told, it seems that most regular surf guys have given up on fishing for bass in NJ these last 2 months as well...all that is left is us nut-cases....:rolleyes:
Hey I would go, just saying. :thumbsup:
This would be the tone, hell yeah! I'm in. As long as he doesn't make us do pushups on the beach. I'm good for about 2.:embarassed:
"You are pukes, you are the lowest forms of life on earth..
Because I am hard you will not like me,..but you will learn"

Internet and facebook fishermen. They see a facebook report they come running down the beach.
Dont get me started about the seminarians, half of them out there you only see when the cell phone chain lets them know its a blitz.
There are very true hardcore fishermen out there, imo, that will stick it out through the good and the bad.
Shel E Caris is one of them. You see him in the park regularly.
Ernie Wuesthoff was another one. RIP, even though he inflated his catches he was out there every day. No way was he a fair weather fisherman, he fished as if fishing was the air he needed to survive the day.
Don't know finchaser but he sounds like another. Catching bass in the summer months is tough but do-able. Some from the inlet at night but you have to know the tides and presentation.
There was a good talk on nj101.5 the other day about facebook users, the ones who spend their lives on it.
I think its good if you are a business, bait shop, contractor, you want to let others know about your business its all good.
The a-holes who have to post up a facebook shot of every fish they caught and GPS coordinates. How many pics of a striper laying in the sand do you need to post to prove you caught it? We all know what a 20" striper looks like thank you very much.
And the housewives who need attention and want us all to know what they had for breakfast? I don't want to know and I dont want to care about these people. Facebook is a good way to keep in touch with families if you live across theUS. For the other attention ho's who didn't get enough attention in high school, I say join a circus or start doing extreme porn if you really want attention. I don't care, don't want to know.
Haha DS I know you are joking but I would go too!
Baababooey I wouldn't mind doing pushups on the beach if thats what it takes to get some nice fish.
If you can only do 2 now, maybe you should try taking the long walk once a week, very good for your physique!:wow:
Hey I would be up for a seminar if you guys ever decided to put one on. Shel E, Finchaser, and a few of the other old timers. That would be more valuable than gold. Fishingmission I remember Ernie too. What a character he was. It was a sad day for the NJ fishing world when he died. rip Ernie.
Steve if I had to do more than 2 pushups they would need to have the EMS on standby right there.
40 lbs overweight, if I wasn't get married I would never get laid.:laugh:
My bubbly personality I think is what got my wife to notice me in the first place, it certainly was not my rolls of fat.
As for walking that death trail at sandy hook, I have no idea why you psychos ever would want to do it.
45 minutes to walk out there, and most of the reports I read are "Nice night, nice sunrise, skunked again" "Got a few short fluke and some small blues" Who in their right mind would want to walk out there over and over, 45 minutes each way, for those slim results?
Thanks for the offer Steve - tell you what -
you go out there, and I'll meet you, NOT!:ROFLMAO
I will attend the finchaser seminar if the stated maximum pushups are 2.
Please forward this info on to the OGB. Thank you my good men. :HappyWave:
how about we all meet for a beer and bullsh_t ????????????????????????
Are cement shoes optional?:laugh: :HappyWave:
Cell phone speed dial codes should be given to every one who attends.:)
************
This just in.....I've been informed, that just for the benefit of Rip316....beer is out! :(
We will now be serving Tea, Crumpets, and Finger sammiches....at the upcoming seminar......
:moon: :plastered: :laugh: :HappyWave:
And, in Rip's honor, one of the seminar subjects will be.....
"Effective Methods of Chatting with your Buddies, when the Bite is on....:ROFLMAO :HappyWave:
Will you be serving grey poupon on the sandwiches?:rolleyes:
I was talking about this with the OGB today.....he remembers that I said the thing about the crumpets, to make RIP feel better that he doesn't get a call from the bat phone when the fishing is hot......I remember that he said to make the crumpet offer to RIP...we're getting so old we really can't remember who said what anymore....:rolleyes:
(BTW albies were blitzing on a NJ beach today for over an hour and there was no one there to catch them....:whoo: )
I'm not a crumpet kind of guy....I prefer my breakfast fast, cheap (the $1.50 pork roll egg n cheese sammich), and soaked in stale clam juice or bunker blood....:laugh:
RIP and Monty I think you guys' food choices are too fancy for us surf rats......:ROFLMAO :HappyWave:
Yup, I have dingleberries that are older than you, bro....:scared:
And yet, if you fish just one tide at night with old Farts like Monty, or me.,,,,by the end of the night you're passed out on the beach to get your "beauty sleep".....why is that? :kiss: :moon: :laugh: :HappyWave:
Ahhh the memories. I remember doing "the walk" with you and Monty. The first area I fished with Monty, he said Im gonna go over by these rocks. I didn't see him for almost an hr and started to get worried. Lmao. He just disappeared like a ninja. Popped back up like one too. We threw back many red bulls that night as his cooler was loaded with them. Hahaha. 9 hrs of fishing after doing a 12 hr shift and being up for a day and a half, I did pass out on the beach fishin with both of you guys. Had a blast doin it too even thouh the skunk got us all.
I drive an hr to fish with Fin, we bail fish for 2 hrs, I drive an hr home. Always catch fish, time to bs and have coffee and peanut butter tastecakes and o home ready to takle the day. Hahahahaha.
Whenever you and my Uncle Monty are ready to do "the walk" ill wave to you from my boat. Hahahaha.
Dark, no offense but with old dingleberries hanging from your nether regions I can see why you fish alone. :kooky: Rip I think you should get a medal for even venturing out with these surf crazies. And there is nothing wrong with fishing from a boat. We who do, catch more fish.:moon: :)
:ROFLMAO I still think your snoring killed the morning bite.
But crumpets and dingle-berries??? Getting close to intervention time.:HappyWave:
Should be some nice white water in the AM....... :HappyWave: :moon: :moon:
Rip you should have had some more of those energy drinks. If Monty had a cooler of them it would be like heaven for a night of surf fishing.
Monty he really is going off the deep end. I mean can you imagine going in to your local dunkin donuts, and saying - "Yes i would like a crumpet with dingleberry jam" They would throw you right out of the store, maybe call the police!
Surely you aren't fishing tomorro. I read the forecast it said the swells were 6.5 feet. You will get washed out to sea.
Steve bet you we get some great WHITE WATER photogs
yep I enjoy your shots
Yeah monty, your white water shots are awesome just hope you don't get dragged out to sea one night. Be carful out there guy!
sometimes you are!
Here is a play by play of a Monty trip -
drank 5 energy drinks from my cooler (only saying this because Rip said so)
fished the white water
beautiful white water
jumped around in it, pretended I was a dolphin
sometime around sunrise I lost a big fish on a hogy.
then around sunrise I got a small bluefish/bass/dirty sock/white snake/condom/small fluke/stargazer/cownose ray (i left some options here for the reader to pick one, because those are the things you usually catch!:HappyWave:
and then I went home, beautiful white water!
by the way please keep posting those white water pics. Hopefully you get some bass this fall as well top go with them
Ouch Steve that is cold! Hey I don't think you catch more fish than Monty, dude. We have all had a lot of skunks this year, even finchaser and dark. It has been a tough year, a handful of good nights for me. Monty was slaying the bass and blues about 2 years ago up in nomoco. I am sure he will get into them again. Your play by play was funny though.:clapping:
Well. bababooey, I must be a dolphin too, because the other night I almost ended up swimming to England....
Monty catches fish....when they're there....but this has been a tough summer for surf fishermen fishing artificials...
Most have given up....
At least there are some of us out there, like Monty, who haven't...:thumbsup:
Monty, sorry to laugh, but I gotta give props to Steve, right down to the pull down menu of your night's catches....All in fun...but it was lmfao funny. :laugh: :HappyWave:
Hey glad you guys liked it. The dolphin thing made me laugh too as I was typing it.:HappyWave:
To Sweeten the pot......
Anyone pre-registering for the Finchaser Seminar gets first crack at the Finchaser Weather Service.....:cool:
for a low fee of only $1.99/month....he will put you on a list that automatically texts you 3 times a day with weather updates.....;)
Along with the commentary that only the OGB is capable of...:laugh:..Samples below...
"The flags are as stiff as wedding *ick! Stay home!"
"There's no way that wind is going to lay down, you are delusional!"
"This storm will kill the fishing, yep, the fat lady will be singing soon......"
"All the dillydocks talk about how they will fish the NorEaster with clams..where are they tonight?"
"Temps are dropping like a rock, the fat lady is gonna sing any minute"
I can tell ya's, as a beneficiary of this sage advice from the grizzly old salt.,,,it has saved me time and money on gas.....as apparently I have this need to drive down there every few days and wet a line. whether the fishing is worthwhile or not....
Yes, folks, for the low price of only $1.99/month, you too can be part of this texting chain....and have the chance to be labeled a googan or dillydock if you disregard the wisdom.......
Act now before the price goes up! :laugh: :HappyWave:
To add to this, all the Old Farts in his circle rely on him for their weather reports....
He is obsessive about scouting various sources, and putting it all together for predictions that are on the $$....lately he has been almost 100% accurate correlating the weather to its effect on fishing.....:fishing:
I tried to argue with him yesterday...."Aah yer such a grouchy basstid! Look at the flags, I'm telling ya the wind is gonna lay down!..."
It did...for about a half hour, change of tide...and then kicked back up again to 20+mph......
Attachment 15904
We can use this :HappyWave:
Haha thats priceless!:clapping::clapping:
I'm in!!
