Lep is definitely our most knowledgeable member on all things Shamrock. In fact, one of his friends owns this same model for many years. So, if anyone needs more info on hull design, fishability, etc. reach out to Lep. A rare bird for a hull that size to have a straight inboard engine. But...

As Lep noted I did buy some of their "store brand" Bass Flutter Spoons 2 years ago. Although they did catch fish, I didn't find those particular lures held up as well as the name brand stuff like Tsunami or Tony Maja. After a few uses all the paint chipped off and I had to repaint them again...

Those are beautiful and obviously in pristine condition. I am not much of a collector, but I think those older Creek Chub plugs are collectible and might fetch a good price on the market. That is unless you plan to use them. The jointed one must have some incredible action.

I do have a better understanding of this particular amendment now and plan on typing and mailing my comments tomorrow. See you at the next meeting.

I received the same iPad and personal tutorial from Mike and Tara last fall. In addition, Mike and I had a conversation that led him to mating for me on a few Tog trips last fall. Funny how it all connects!!!

I appreciate the offer, PaulE, to have a more in-depth discussion on these issues and others concerning our fishery regulations. I am certain I have seen you before at several other meetings but never took the time to introduce myself in person. I promise to correct that at the next meeting...

There is no doubt those big Cats can tame even the nastiest sea conditions. The question in my mind is would I really want to be out fishing on a day like that?:eek:

First of all, a big "Thank You" to yourself, Bob, and all the kids and other staff members. I have participated in this show for the last 7 years now and I can see how hard everyone works to make it a terrific day. Yes, this is a very busy and well attended event, which in my mind tells me you...

Since you asked, Roccus, here is my summary of what I saw and heard last night. First, I don't know how many people were actually listening online, but the physical turnout at the DEC office was the smallest I have seen in the last several years. Maybe about 25 tops and, as expected the...

Another critical consideration is the design of the sheath. I have lost more than one set of pliers using the poorly conceived sheaths that have a metal clip on design. You definitely want the type that has a full belt loop to avoid any unnecessary overboard donations!

That is correct, Matt. I will be attending live.

While I am not responsible for recording the seminars, as Lep said, I am pretty sure they do film each one and the club is usually very open about sharing this information. If it is readily available, I am sure Lep will post the links again this year. I know I tend to speak pretty fast...

You are correct, Rocco. The E-VTR app is pretty easy to use and with the ability to save certain data that is common to many trips we run in similar areas with similar gear, it is actually faster than handwriting the same stuff for each report. Although entering Lat/Lon data for where you fish...

You are a young, strong guy whom I am sure will do just fine with the surgery. But if you are not feeling up to it don't rush the recovery period. After all, you need to be in top shape for all those massive fish you plan to catch this season, plus another special event coming down the pike...

I hope that you can come by, Crabman, as I would love to meet you in person. Perhaps one of my own shortcomings is I often try to cram too much information into too short a time frame. But what I do present will be quality stuff. So, I hope folks are not expecting a graduate level course in...

No doubt the Leprechaun is one really clean vessel, despite the numerous scales that find its deck. I get nervous if I accidentally hook myself and leave a drop of blood anywhere in sight!!!:ROFLMAO:

I read the same article, Overbored and it is true that Stripers have fins, know how to swim, and will pursue their food wherever it may be. About 8-10 years ago when I still made spring cod trips south of Block, in the EEZ, we also used to see some Stripers as a by catch along with the Cod...

Me too, Benny. I will be stopping buy to purchase some Tog jigs. Love your work.

While preparing for the upcoming ASMFC meeting I re-read this thread. I fully agree that our Bluefish regs are ridiculous without a size or seasonal limit. However, there is a 3 fish bag limit (5 fish on for-hire boats) which does restrict the catch somewhat. At least with only 3 fish no...

Yes, they are really slow getting the word out this year. I received the tentative schedule from Bob Wilson over a month ago and confirmed my seminar. But I suspect some of the other speakers have been slow to reply to Bob. If it helps anyone, I know I will be speaking during the first slot at...
