^ No Steve, it wasn't 8th Ave. :HappyWave:
I only hope that college kid was drunk when he said that, I felt a little creeped out after he gave me that compliment......:scared:
*******
The latest.gospel truth..a guy coming into a tackle shop., saying he was catching "at least one large bass a night, every night" on plugs.
When asked how large he meant by "large"....
"Oh, about 45 to 50 inches" :kooky:
That kid wanted to put his pencil popper in ur poop shoot. No men make comments like that to complete strangers. That dude wanted ur *** bro. Hahahahahahha. Drunk or high, it doesn't matter, he wanted the Darkone. Ggggggrrooooossssssss.............
We have a place near Canarsie like that. Gays and hookers at 3am. You do not want to venture into the parking lot without carrying a sharp knife.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but 8th ave used to have more fishermen there at night. Now if you go there the gays are like **** a roaches. They come scurrying out looking for meat. Even when the lot looked like the back dirt roads in the pine barrens they would be in there. something should really be done. They are disgusting.
I lose count of bass in Montauk all the time!
sometimes after 30 fish other times it's been fuzzy at 40 fish.
on Monday zeno said we had 50.
It doesn't really matter what the count is.
what matters is the fishing, the surf, the fortitude to climb back on the rock as you get smacked by whitewater.
i have a general idea of how many bass caught but not an exact number. I do remember exactly how many i keep every year for the table.

I would love to lose count of my fish. Urbanfishingman it sounds like you are having a great year. Do you live near Montauk?
I would love to loose count too, lately I have been One Bass Monty.....I don't even have to count...Its like one......Quote:

Thanks this has been a great year so far!

Great reports urban, you sure are lucky!

"when the water temps are 55-60 and the bluefish are here, that gets the bass riled up and aggressive"
Goog statement of the year. The bluefish don't get the bass riled up and aggressive.
It's the water temperature, stupid. Its either that or the fact that when the bluefish are around they chase and chop the bait in pieces causing the bass to move around. This free food laying all over the bottom acts like chum which stimulates the bass to feed. Similar to why we eat more at a buffet table in a restaurant. This blooming genius also doesn't account for the fact that when the water temps are 55-60 that is great for bass. At 40-45 degrees both bass and bluefish are more slow because the colder water slows down there metabolism.
Read that too hookset. You have to consider the source when you read a statement like that. I take what these internet professors say with a grain of salt. Half of them don't fish often enough to know what they're talking about. The water temperatures are key. If fish are around and it's too cold you won't know it unless you are dragging the bottom with a net. They sit. Thats one reason why fishing the shallow bays are so great after a few sunny days. The fish get a little more stimulated by the rise in temperature and toward the end of the day on a sunny day start moving and circling. Looking for worms, small crabs, grass shrimp, spearing, whatever they can find that's easy to eat.
Bluefish coming in when the bay is cold have less of an effect on the bass feeding as do the temps. Once that temp line starts to trend above 45 degrees, in a steady trend of increases, all the fish in the area will become more active. I have years of logs. Nowhere in them does it show that bluefish get the bass riled up just by showing up. It has everything to do with the right water temperature and the presence or absence of different baits, as you said.
This story takes place more than a few dozen miles from the surf but I feel its relevant to the thread.
On opening day trout here in NJ my brother and I were told that we were fishing our spinners wrong and that jerkshads were the way to go because the water temps were still cold. I also saw this "expert" critique other guys and was giving out so much advice that was not asked for. My brother saw him in the parking lot later on and asked him what he caught. His answer was that he only got one follow and that the the trout weren't biting yet because the water was cold and that we should come back and fish later on in the day as the water warms up.
This guy also had more expensive gear on than he knew what to do with.
Here's my catch from that morning.
I see that a lot the guys with the highest priced gear think they are the surf gurus. Or they are so cool they won't even talk to you and look down on you because you don't have the right gear.Quote:

Where does it say that just because you have all the right gear you have the right to bash on someone who doesn't? I hate that attidude. Elitist a-holes!
btw jbarbosa those are some nice trout there! Did you end up catching them with spinners?
a few years ago I went to one of my spots were blues were hanging out. I pull up and there 3 guys putting on waders ....they have there fancy rods and reels and brand name surf bags. I get out and say hello ....only one guys says hello. mean while I have shorts on ,water shoes and a t-shirt. the weather was in the Hight 70. I have a pocket full of lures and that's it. I walk to the water and start catching blues left and right. 15 min later these guys get to the water ...there catching as well , they all have there surf bags on there shoulders and waders on. but they never walk into the water. I'm standing in the water up to my ankles ...keeping my feet cool. enjoying my time fishing. These guys look like they were just showing off all there stuff they had. It was to warm for waders if your standing on the edge of the water. Kept thinking to my self :why put on waders if your not going in to the water ?

Here's the latest true story between 2 guys who know each other....was related to me the other day....and the "de-friending" happened recently. I regret that I can't go into any more specifics as the guy who made the statement below is pretty well-known.....
" If you buy from this tackle shop/vendor/associate with that fishing guy I don't like.... I will de-friend you on facebook" :scared: :ROFLMAO
As the years go by I feel less and less of an identity with the internet generation...
When I was younger, when 2 guys didn't like each other, they punched each other in the face, had a short fistfight..:bonk:...and after that, either became friends again or went their separate ways........that tells me my memories must be back from cave man times....because things are so different now...:kooky:
^^^^^That is so childish I won't be your facebook friend lol.
"Could use a little NE wind to get this bite started out front. Fish are there but mouths are closed."
This is the same dude who can only catch a bass from a boat. His last report I posted in the meatmen thread and he hasn't caught a bass since may2.
http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...w-Jersey/page3
Yep that's the ticket, northeast wind.:rolleyes: The SE wind last night shut the bite down and the NE isn't much better. How about you recognize the fact that maybe you just can't catch fish from the surf?

"on our Facebok site reports, "As your first customer today this early bird got the worm and a lot more. Already got 11 bass including this keeper and 3 blues on plugs at first light. Bass were so thick I could feel my plug running into them and foul hooked 3 of them. Awesome fishing so far today."
"Now we all need is a good E to push bait and fish within casting range from the beach."
The know it alls of the internet. This was from a report today. The poster claims to be the oracle of surf fishing, so stuck up. Fish are in the surf but he was on a boat? This just galls me if he was fishing the surf he would know sandeels have been washing up on the beach every morning for weeks. The only way to know that is get out there. I love the internet it makes some of these folks seem like they actually know something. The fish are already there.
^^I read that report. That dude thinks he is the epitome of surfcasters. He knows everything and every time he goes out to fish the surf he gets a 20# fish or better. According to his reports he has never gotten skunked in his life. No one is that good. I remember the year before last he was sarcastically claiming how he got tangled up with a googan at the hook and made fun of the kid for wearing shorts in sept when all the other surf dudes were wearing the waders. That kid he made fun of was a friend of my neighbors son. He marched right back on the internet and took a shot at the old dude. He backed down and then he stopped the sarcastic commments. As far as I am concerned he is a sarcastic prik. Internet know it all is right. No one catches fish all the time out there, and every report this dude posts he is bailing them. Not even finchaser or the old timers referred to here could be that good.
Sorry for the rambling I hate sarcastic priks like that and he should be glad I wasn't there when he dissed my neighbor's son like that.
Yes the sandeels are all over I have been seeing them too but not much fish on them.
There is a guy right now on cam fishing the north pocket of the manasquan inlet. looks like he is shirtless or just wearing a short sleeve and shorts with a baseball cap on. bare feet. you surf guys are totally nuts!:kooky:
http://www.surfchex.com/manasquan-web-cam.php
Haha he must have got blue balls or rethought his fishing plan and left. Just checked the camera and there is no one there in shorts now. bababooey last year around this time I saw some guy get in the water and go swimming for 5 minutes. He was probably a member of the polar bear club.
:bucktooth:elitist of the week- what a POS the person who said this is. Is the bucket brigade the only ones who litter? Have seen many other types littering during the spring blitzes.
"the 5 gallon 8 rod brigade ,who in my opinion are the main reason we lose access to once great fishing spots .Catch & release ? Fuggetaboutit!!!!! They cater to these people.Unfortunately they are the only show in town. the fact remains they detract from the whole expierence.Assorted trash ,unwanted bait and unsocial behavior is the norm in my expierence"
So ironic. The guy that comes across as being holier than the bucket brigade he is putting down can't even spell the word experience. He mis-spells it twice!Quote:

Just read this on the net. Idiot of the year-
"I just hope the storm replaces the small stripers I keep catching most nights with some decent sized ones." :ROFLMAO
Yes Junior in internet land anything is possible.
Here's how it works -
During the storm, the surf fishing fairies fly all around surf land, especially where you like to fish.
They sprinkle magical fairy dust all over the ocean, thousands of tons of it.
In that fairy dust is a super growth hormone - any striper that is within 1/2mile of a crystal of fairy dust is magically transformed in size.
The 24" bass turn into 24 pounders.
30 inch turn into 30 pounders. And so on.
Pretty soon the ocean then becomes so filled with stripers that everyone is catching them, even the dillys that are complaining about catching small bass.
Then, in the morning, when you go to the WaWa to get your coffee after a night of fishing, you look at the newspaper and see it is October 17, 1990, when the striped bass were fully recovered.
How the frick do you think we will get more stripers? Do they come from heaven made by Keebler elves?:kooky:
SMH at some of the stupidity out there. Pay attention dudes half the bass are gone. Open your eyes instead of focusing on the Iphone 24/7 and you might see that.
hahahahahahah!:clapping::clapping:
Damn jig you nailed it! Whining little sissies! Oh should I fish after the storm? Oh please tell me the water color does it have a churlish hue?
Oh could someone please go down to the water and put their finger in it and tell me the temperature? Can someone cast a line in the water for me and tell me if any stripers are there? These wannabees are the new generation. It's like "I want to become a striped bass sharpie. Is there an app for that?" lol
