God
I WENT TODAY WITH 2 FRIENDS FROM WORK AND ONE OF THE THE COWORKERS BROUGHT IS 10YR OLD SON (WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT HE IS), ONE OF THEM LIVES UP THERE BY THE LESNER BRIDGE.

WE WENT OUT TO THE GREEN CAN, MARKED PLENTY OF FISH CAUGHT NONE.
WENT TO SEA BOUY 4, MARKED A FEW CAUGHT NONE.

WENT TO CHES BAY BRIDGE, MARKED A LOT OF FISH CAUGHT ONE ON MY LUCKY POLE MR STUBBY.

BOYS IT WAS ROUGH PART OF THE DAY BUT I DIDN'T SEE 3 OTHER FISH CAUGHT ALL DAY.


OYEA BY THE WAY, $50.00 IN GAS FOR THE BOAT, $25.00 IN GAS FOR THE TRUCK TO GET THERE, LOST A STRETCH 30, AND 3 OTHER LURES BY THE BRIDGE, ANOTHER $25.00.

SO THAT MAKES $100 FOR 1 FISH 19 1/4" LONG, SEEING THE PAIN IN THE BUTT BOY THROW UP FOR  3 HOURS "PRICELESS".
 
Chumming people, yes that is priceless, especially when they
talk a big talk.



Oh yea, Garage, remember I talked to you about my son
moving back east?
I think he has decided to move in with me and take over my farmhouse.
For right now, it is big enough for two families.
And my grand daughter will be living with us as well.

I feel the pain, it costs me 130 bucks per trip on gas alone (boat and truck) add lures, bait, rigging, oil etc etc... :o

Businesses are hurt too, less trips to the ramps is a multimillion dollar overall impact.

I got you beat - its about double that for me. Its a 3.5 hour drive one way to the salt.
 
Heck, it was 1000 miles for me to get to the salt when I went to visit my Mom. Closest big water to me is Lake Michigan--about 4 1/2 hours each way. Oh well, I still love my "mud puddle" boating in the V.

That is why I need to move closer to the water...like Sean... Maybe one day I wont need to drive 90 fri**ing miles one way to launch my boat. Rhode Island here I come ;D
 
Man, I feel terrible for some of youz guys. I bet there are 100 ramps into the salt within 50 miles of my house, including 3 within 2 miles of home. Dam shame I can't use them more often ;D
 
hey par let the son take over the farm house, more $ for you to fish with. ;).

Went out Sunday in the sound by me, got to fish 1hr 30 min, the stripers were boiling the water. Me and my buddy caught 58.
We had nice fish for the sound around 22" long with 5 up to 28"lg. That's not bad for the Albermarle Sound where the water is brackish. We get to keep 3 a piece with minimal size at 18" and not slot or max

This trip cost me 2 gallons of gas.
 
All I got to say is you can't catch a Striper with the remote in your hand. You got to go look for them and sometimes you find them and somtimes you don't. Thats why its called fishing. A friend of mine says that you got to pay your dues before you start catching and he is right. At least you were fishing.
 
Hey 2nd I work at the Navy yard Maybe you and I need to hook-up and go fishing up there or down here in the Sound and at Oregon Inlet, what do you say?
 
Hey Garage, if I put the boat in at E.C. by the shipyard, how far is it to the sound? It dosent look like it would be very far.
 
I don't want to talk about gas every time I fill up this dam truck 65.00 and It seams it always empty hay Mac make sure the ice is good and thick

Thanks! Man,I didnt think it was that far out to the sound. Are you still catching stripers (rock) out there? I wish they would come on up the Chowan river, guess its got ta get colder for that ta happen! Oh, Congrats on your retirement. My dad worked at NNSY for 38 years, had a heart attack and passed away 2 weeks before he got his first retirement check. He was only 56. It must be pretty stressful in there.
 
Sorry to hear about your dad C FELT, it can be stressful. I went out to Rudee Last Friday and we only got one (Cape Charles) but it was a 39lber. I'm going to go later this week if you want to go. You Too 2nd.

BY the way I put the new 350 in her last winter and Last friday when we went out the motor ran for 8.5 hrs and it averaged 1.7 gal a hour. Not bad I didn't think.
 
Thats pretty good gas milage I think for a 350. I know you got ta have plenty of power. If I werent working Id love ta go. Im on 11-7 now, starting 3-11 friday. Catch one for me! they are some good eatin! We usually bake them whole with potatoes and onions smothered with bacon , and have filleted them an cooked em on the grill,mighty tasty.
