    Walt, sorry it took so long to respond to this.
    We have a lot of neat features on this upgraded version of Vbulletin.

    One of them is the Auto Save

    I Auto Save -- Saving long posts in case your Browser crashes:

    1. if you are typing a long post, every minute or so you will see a vanishing message pop up under the right bottom frame of your posting window, near where it is shaded grey.
    2. It will look something like this:
    Auto-Saved

    3. This will be highlighted in yellow, and only appears for a few seconds before vanishing.
    4. Should your browser somehow crash, or this site does not refresh as you post, you did not necessarily lose your post.
    5. Refresh first.....if somehow your post was lost.
    6. If the screen freezes up you may have no choice but to reboot and sign in again.
    7. As you log in again, go to the previous forum where you were posting.
    8. You should see a similar window as the Auto-Save that you previously noticed.
    9 This time, it will be in the bottom left hand side. Near to the grey part of your posting window.

    10. It will ask you "Restore Auto-Saved Content?"
    When you see that you need to bring your cursor over to it, and click on it quickly, before it fades away. Clicking on it should restore your content from last session.



    II Fool-Proof way not to lose Content or your Post:
    1. If you type a long post, it can seem impossible to re-construct it again if for some reason your browser or a site crashes before you hit the "submit Reply" button.
    2. Therefore, I have gotten into the habit, whenever I have a long post, (which is almost always )...to use the left mouse button to highlight the whole post.
    3. Start at the top and scroll down all the way to the bottom, highlighting everything.
    4. If you are not sure how to do this, practice with a small post first. It gets easier over time.
    5. Then, you use your right mouse button, to hit the choice "Copy"
    6 This saves your text in memory, and will allow you to post it again, even if it is lost.

    ** Also.....If you want to Cut and Paste, you follow the above steps, using the "Cut" choice on the drop down menu after right clicking your mouse.






    Hope this helps, Walt, and makes things a little easier on ya!

    Good idea finchaser. I found a chart for blackfish. One thing I would add is that with the fish I have caught females of the same length tend to weigh slightly different from males.

    Size:
    The Tautog is a slow growing, long-lived species with individuals over 30 years of age having been reported. Larval growth rates have been estimated to be between 0.01 and 0.03 inches per day. Young of the year juveniles grow during the summer at a rate of around 0.02 inches per day. Juvenile growth rates have been observed to be higher in vegetated than in unvegetated habitats.

    Average length after the first summer of growth is 2.9 inches; 6.1 inches after the second summer of growth. Adult growth is relatively slow and varies with the season. Adult male tautog grow faster in length than adult females. A reasonably accurate guide to tautog length at age is provided in the table to the right.

    Its also a good idea to put tape marks on your rod if fishing for striped bass. This makes it easy to see if they are legal size without bringing out a tape measure and is a lot quicker to get them back into the water if you are not keeping them.

    ^^^ Most of my rods have marks at 17.5 for fluke and 28 and 32" for bass. I agree clamchucker it makes it a lot easier that way and gives the throwbacks a better chance at survival.
    A big problem where I fish is the immigrants on the piers and harbors. This link is for the NJ 2013 regs. I wish they had it printed at every place that would clear things up for a lot of people.

    I think this year some of those upper size limits were tested by the big bluefish out at the mud hole. Thanks for the info.

    3. Copy the content, link, etc

    4. Click on that copy button on your screen.


    5. Go to the area where you want to copy to...
    OR...
    You can just save the content in your PC's internal memory, temporarily, via the Copy features...

    How to use the Search feature:

    The search feature here is great.
    A few points some might want to be aware of:

    1. Sometimes you need to put a qualifying term here in Quotes, or
    Example - "
    Quotes
    (where you only insert the quote marks at the left end)
    This will help you narrow down the search to just the topic you are looking for.

    2. If you put quote marks on both sides of the term,
    Example - ("Quotes")
    that might be too limiting.
    If the search comes up with nothing, try to modify the term, or use only the quote on the left side, and you will probably see a difference.

    Hope that was helpful.
    Thanks for reading.
