[quote name='luftnpanzrwagn' post='14427' date='Apr 19 2009, 12:10 PM']If you decide to live-line a squid for stripers off the causeway, you run the risk of tangling 500+ squidders when fighting that fish.
I wouldn't want to have that many people pissed at me... again..
I may or may not know from experience...[/quote]
yeah i would not want to do that. im not really into striper that much here in NJ we get them all the time from early spring to late fall runs nothing new to me. but catching mackeral is rare espcially on land.
[quote name='KingSquidWithTheBiggest...' post='14428' date='Apr 20 2009, 05:45 AM']if i know i can get a trophy stripper, in that situation i would seriously consider having 500+ squidders being pissed at me...[/quote]
Sorry but for some reason I can't NOT correct someone when i see this common mistake
ITS STRIPER, NOT STRIPPER
A STRIPER swims around looking for baitfish to prey on.
A STRIPPER dances around looking for perverts with phat pockets to prey on.
Big difference. Also, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if I was squidding and someone intentionally caught a striper that then tangled everyones lines, i'd probably contemplate throwing said person off the bridge. LOL
Nothing at Goat Island yet ...
Went there last night (4/19) from 7pm-10pm .. nothing! .. windy ... cold .. and nothing ...
Water still cold .. hopefully in a bout a week.

Same news here. I spent a couple of hours on Saturday night. A few people trying their luck, but it's too early. It was a pretty night to be on the bridge never the less.
I hear Friday night drew a blank too.
This coming weekend may be the first realistic shot at seeing some action. Not much sun or warmer weather predicted until around Thursday though.
Can somebody get the city of Newport to sweep the sand off the sidewalk? It's kinda beach like right now.
GI Squid, here i come ... I dont' want one or two ... i want buckets ...hahaha

Bwahahah i'm looking forward to meeting spawnle this year. I crack up everytime he hits on Travis' wife. Temps supposed to hit the 80s this weekend in CT. I'm sure they'll be up there in newport as well so hopefully this will give us a much needed temp boost...or if nothing else, make up for the drop we're likely to get from all this rain
Hey everyone
I'm new to this forum.
I visited few times last year for the squid report, and this year I decided get serious and join the forum.
So I hope I get to see everyone this weekend, if the weather's nice
PS Tatonka, did you by any chance go to RPI ?
flukeprodigy: I met Travis's wife about 2 yrs ago, I don't know what she saw on Travis. This Vietnamese guy is alot better :-) (Did you get her drunk when you asked her Travis <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> ) .... ever since then, he hasn't take her down for fishing any more.... go figure .... somebody got scared .... <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
Travis: I don't speak or write English that good ... but i know how to fish bla bla bla .....
I don't think i need a name tag anymore. a few people from this forum know where i sit. I haven't move in the pass 15 yrs or so. I'm going to start to charge people who will sit next to me .... hahahhaa ... yeap, i'm talking to you Johnat, Alan, Suzy, etc ... you know who you are

I will probably be down that GI bridge sometime the first week of May. I am new to squidding so take it easy on me.
As for lighting, would a hand held spot light work?

It'd probably be a royal pain in the butt but i don't see why it wouldn't help.
I'm thinking my first trip up will be next weekend.
Me and the wifey are heading up on Saturday, maybe look for fish during the day and then squid at night. We're bringing the boat and the Yozuri's <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Good luck to everyone giving it a shot this weekend.

' /> When you are an ugly bastid like myself, you have to be well endowed in other areas if you want a good looking companion...but I don't have that going for me either. Now that I think of it, I have noticed her squinting a bit when we are watching the tube, so I think she just need glasses!
She comes down there with me almost every trip, she loves squidding!
Just a quick note for everyone who using newport bridge: this year Newport bridge won't take token anymore, only cash ($2)or ez pass. It is less than a buck if you sign up for it [url="http://www.ritba.org/ezpass.html"]http://www.ritba.org/ezpass.html[/url]
