Lookin for more help w stripers
 

OK, so I may have a window to take the boat out Saturday. High tide is around 1pm. I understand stripers like outgoing tides, yet early morning or evening is also when they bite.

Not sure if I should try the early morning route (might be a tad chilly at 40 degress, but that's OK) just as the tide is coming in, or do an afternoon or early evening?

Also not sure if I should hang around the canal entrance or rivers, or go out near quicks hole\between the islands for deep water.

Beers for all good advice!!!!
:beer:

THANKS!

I would vote for morning and afternoon both if you have the whole day, then you can explore all areas.

If it were me, I would grab a bucket of live eels and head over to Quick's Hole and fish around dusk. If the current starts getting a little fast, tie on a three way swivel above your 3' leader to clip on some weight.

I'll take a Shipyard Pumpkin Ale please. :beer:

OK,

One of those yuppie beers for CB, I expect you want the sugar on the rim too?

Thanks, maybe I will give that a try. Now, I was told that I should be between the islands, not exactly out the other side in quicks hole itself?

Going late afternoon would give me more time to get the boat ready. Its been buttoned up pretty good since the storm. I don't have to get up real early next morning as its a late game on sunday.

sorry Hedge, I buy you a beer too...
:beer:
Just please don't ask me to get you one of those fruity beers...

What we normally do is find a group of boats with rods bent and fish coming over the rail. Just motor over and join in.

I'll take a cold Busch Lite, in the can is fine.
:hide:

Seriously tho, not familiar with that area up there but if you aren't marking bait schools or fish on the FF then there isn't much use in fishing that spot. I say that but the biggest striper ever caught on my boat the FF looked like a freakin desert.

Best bet - cover a lot of ground. If something isn't working, try something else.

None of those for me, strictly a Miller Lite guy

Miller Lite is my backup....bars don't sell Busch Lite. :head:

You obviously haven't tried Shipyard Pumpkin Ale. If you had, you'd be agreeing with me and frothing at the mouth. Nothing fruity or yuppie about it. Stuff kicks azz.

gross......

Why don't you just pee in a cup and save $3???????? It might taste better and be less watered down......:beer:

I have tried other brewers pumpkin ales, sorry it just ain't right. 'specially the sugared rim thing (although I never actually tried a sugared rim with them). Plus don't you also like that steel reserve stuff?

Now answer me about where to fish around quicks and I'll get you another beer.:beer:

OK, Miller lite and a bush light!!!
:beer: :beer:

Hey Cole we want real beer! Not just virtual beers!

Catchemup!!!!!!!
:beer:

P.S. SSIRED - Me and my buddy Hedge just unfriended you!!

:head:Real beer?:head:

just thought a of a great idea, set up a "buy your buddy a beer website" via paypal.

If I ever get a chance I would love to get you all reel beers. (except now maybe SSIRED:bat:) Does pumpkin ale fall under "real beers" though?

rkc

No sugar rim for me. Save the rim jobs for MJ. :you:

:you::you: I am definitely a hater when it comes to Miller, at least your a cheap date......breath might smell like pee but a cheap date none the less!!!!!

Me and Hedge might have pee pee breath but you have Mudd Butt!!:nut::beer:<--Frosty Miller Light just for you!! :you:

:clap: Well played sir, well played. Yes I do have "MuddButt" and you can too if you know anyone lookin.....Now that the Guale Girl is up and runnin I haven't had MuddButt for quite some time. Id make someone a hell of a deal!!!!

Chum seems like he would be a Blatz beer kinda guy to me??? We use to get it at the philadelphia naval base for 4 bucks a case ....heaven sent..... and marlboro for 6 bucks a carton.:sun::sun::sun:

90% of the time slinger. Fall is the best time of year for specialty beer (I know RKC will call it yuppie beer) like the afore mentioned Pumpkin Ale or Harpoon October Fest. :beer: The rest of the year it's typically Bud Mud.

Oh, I do like a good octoberfest beer!

Well, here is my "fishing" picture:

The tree guys finally came on friday afternoon and cut down the tree that crashed in the pool as well as another similar tree that was over our deck. So I split and stacked on Saturday instead of fishing (went to the Pats game yesterday). Next week I am on Vaca, so I should be able to get in a fishing day or two (wife also wants the house painted)...

Never caught a striper, but good job on the woodpile RKC.

I prefer Busch Light, but will settle for a Natty Light if that's all that's available. Killian's Red or Sweetwater 420 for special occasions.

So Bradford, you think you deserve a beer just because you complimented me on my woodpile? :bat:It was supposed to be for those that provided good fishing advice...:head:

Man, some people will just slime their way in for free beer.:bat:

but, um, ah, come to think of it, I would too!!!:hide:

Sure, I can afford another virtual beer!!!

hey bartender, get that man a Sweetwater 420!:beer:

Looks like I may be fishing in the rain next week...

rkc

Well at least someone on here is drinkin good beer.........occasionally:clap:

I thought you didn't like Busch Lite? :head::hi:
