Clam fishing 101:
Why the concept of "just throw the clam out into the bay and they will find it...." is wrong. :beatin:
Why old time sharpies did not rely on clams, and how you can learn to think out of the box.
Why bunker makes everyone a bass fisherman...
Real life stories of how fish were caught long before there were bunker by the thousands.
Basic principles of plugging, jigging, and bucktailing...
Why you should challenge yourself learning these basics, even though there might be lots of studying....;)
Why the best learning tool is experience and time on the water.
Why you can't learn to fish artificials sitting at home on the computer....
Why it's not ok to mug people...
Why it's important to take your trash with you as you leave....
Why it's important not to pizz or take a dump on a homeowner's property.
Why it's important not to leave fish racks in a homeowner's trash cans, even if the trash guys ARE coming the next morning...:rolleyes:
Why striped bass are not like doritos, and you just can't make more....
What has happened in a historical pattern when fishermen become greedy....
Why fishermen should pay attention to what's going on around them.
Why Dr Lubchenko is a PEW puppet. :2flip:
Why more fishemen are needed on fisheries management boards...
Just wanted to let you know that this is obviously satire, no offense intended against Finchaser. :kiss:
He would be a great teacher, though.
He is a great teacher, despite his crabby OGB side. :wow:
So carrying this along, if this was a true seminar series, what would, or should, he be teaching?
Answers can be serious, or humorous.
Let's have some Fin....Fun...:plastered:
Any truth to the rumor that everyone who attends this seminar gets a free pass to your 2 day seminar the following week on "Swans, There Not Just Big Birds"?
Rough crowd there Dark.
I'm in!!!!!!!
Cmon guy, dark deserves it, he set himself up for the swan coronation when he did the swans in the Navesink thread. Even though I did take my kids there to see them (thanks dark:HappyWave:) you have to admit it is hilarious.:d

As for the finchaser seminar series, count me in, but only if I can get in on the cell phone chain!:lookhappy:
I'll be there if ya got sausage sandwiches and plenty a cannoli.
They honestly should have seminar topics like these. It's sad to me that these things even need to be discussed. Years ago this type of topic was called common sense. It's a shame that young folks today have such a sense of entitlement that they cannot always see the big picture, and people think the answers to becoming a better fisherman will be gained through a seminar. There is no substitute for time spent on the water. As for courtesy, shame on those who were not listening when their parents were trying to teach them.
Hey some of the guys who run the seminars and write the books have only been fishing for 5 or 10 years anyway. Why not have a finchaser seminar. It sounds like you are making fun of it but i would go, especially if they had sausage sandwiches and cannoles like surfwalker said.:drool:
Are they going to be the ones with potatoes and onions? If so I'm in. I'll pass on the swan seminar and donate it to finchaser.
Does that mean killie will be selling Bat-signal access as well?
I'm in!
Attachment 10720
I am in as well.
im in
First lesson Fin is gonna teach Dark is where to buy anitbacterial hand cleaner to get the smelly clam off his hands LOL.
Maybe we shold all invest since a lot of us are clammers. Personally, bunker smell worse than clams do.
Update - Just a head's up that we're again running the Finchaser Spring Fishing Elite surf seminar soon, so anyone who didn't sign, please be sure to say "I'm in!"
Guy who catches the biggest spring surf bass on clam is eligible for a Commendation and a write up in the local press. Also eligible for a pic on the wall of the local tackle shop. :thumbsup: ;)
Ha ha that's funny. I assume you are being sarcastic. I'm in anyway.:kooky:
i am in just for the sammiches & cannoles
Whee I'm in what kind of sammiches?
steve...Whee I'm in what kind of sammiches? .......swanny with black mud gray yummy..lol
Update to the Finchaser seminar.
There is actually a company that makes a "clam" bucket. No, it's not a googan bucket, it's a CLAM bucket! :ROFLMAO
They use this for ice fishing...
but it's so appropriate I just had to add it in...
From Clam outdoors...:laugh:
Spill Proof Bait Well Keeps Live Bait Lively
http://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadi...dfb/image/jpeg
Clam Bait Well
Designed to mount on all Clam Fish Trap shelters, as well as most other brands, the Clam Bait Wellis the ultimate way to safely store minnows without spilling thanks to a gasket lined screw top lid. It was designed by ice anglers who wanted to solve the problem of storing your bait bucket in a place that’s convenient but also out of the way. The Bail Well solves both problems. SInce it mounts on the lip of a sled, it keeps the bait bucket off the ice and out of the way while also within reach. When an angler is ready to pack up and change locations, simply pull out the bucket, flip the metal bracket and put the bucket back in for secure, spill proof transport. All the hardware needed to mount the Bait Well is included making this a very easy install and use item.
I don't mind giving a free plug to www.clamoutdoors.com :clapping:
*************
FYI, one of these will be given to every seminarian (those who attent the seminar) upon receipt of your seminar payment...cash only, no credit cards....;)
Hurry as this is a limited offer, once we're out of them, ya missed the boat! :laugh: :fishing:
Ooh Ooh I want to be a seminarian! I'm in!
Do seminarians have to abstain from sex?
It's very skilled thing catching bass on a clam or bunker head.:rolleyes: Takes years of study. Guys I recommend you set this finchaser seminar thing up into a 10 week series of lectures. You could call it "Mastering the clam and bunker presentation, secrets of the pros" Milk that thing for all it's worth. IRL, I think you could get people to pay. There are folks out there who don't want to even hear about a learning curve. They want to start on Monday, and by Friday have a 50lb bass under their belt. That's the way modern society is nowadays. Instant success or they arent interested.
Remember I don't fish bait DS is the masturbater
ha ha!
