Super User J Francho Posted June 12, 2009 Super User Posted June 12, 2009 Jeez, this went from an interesting thread that was interesting to compare reports to my results to a bunch of dirty laundry. Â you guys should take this off line. Quote
Super User Tin Posted June 12, 2009 Super User Posted June 12, 2009 Jeez, this went from an interesting thread that was interesting to compare reports to my results to a bunch of dirty laundry. you guys should take this off line. Yup, it's called tournament fishing in Rhode Island. It is always drama and bs and I hate having to be a part of it and try to stay out. But some things are just not right. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Mike you couldn't be more wrong about my statement being a jab at you and or the club. What reason would I have to take a jab at you? I considered you a good friend, it makes no sense. I've been over the HH club thing a long time ago other than the $$? The same post is up on multiple sites, which started with my facebook page and I just copied it from there. As far as the jabs, JC took the 1st swing and I followed up. Believe what you want, throw all the insults you want, I know the truth and so do you. Speaking of the truth.... Mike you wanna throw me under the train, you were the 1st one to tell me, JC and I would butt heads, becuase of his attitude and he rubs people the wrong way, Shall we get into what you told me about him the last time we were out? NO need! The only difference between me, you Jigga and JC is whatever I have to say about someone, I've already said their face. I've only been part of 2 clubs that I quit, get your info right. The 1st one I left due to the littering that occured and a crappy schedule, which you also laughed at and bad mouthed, sounds a bit hypocritcal to me. I stiill have that email so go ahead and deny it. The reasons for dropping out of JC's which I nevr even fished a T,was due to the butting heads, his incoherant rant, and having to fish out of the back of someone elses boat. I had an issue with another member that was unfortunatley put in the middle of myself and JC. Issue, with CA for baiting me into a trip and abandoning me, the issue with BQ, well so do you and lots of others! I stick up for myself when I feel I've been wronged, not hide. So tell me all the others I've had issues with? You took my post and either was lead into believing it was a jab or feeling defensive. The last time we were on the water I never mentioned the money, or JC. I understand the rallying around John 100%, and if you believe that I was taking a gab with my statement, you don't know as well as I thought. Take a look back at some of the other post by members complimenting their new club or the guys they fished against, even in this thread there are a few. I don't see ya complaining about that. Go ahead and flip back a few pages, it's there. Dump on me all you want, but I didn't start this and I wasn't aware I had to walk on eggshells prior to posting. Take care and wish you the best. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I have fished with john for the last three years, in the same club and have never had a problem. You Paul are the only one who seems to have a problem with him and countless others. Fishing alone in that club is probaly the only reason your happy with it because you have problems with everyone you come in contact with. Name-em! But, I could careless about your opinion. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I'm done defending myself against people who think they know me. I'm also done ruinning a great thread. Â Post all the false info/rumors you'd like, I won't respond and will just continue to post my fishing trips. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear, but I believe that's what this site is for.

Bassnajr Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I think this has gotten out of hand...... I will say this before this gets taken down, which it should. JC has a strong personality Paul as do you, as do I and many others on this board and who fish tournaments. I think I am a good judge of character. I have dealt with people for 25 years in my job and saw "real" bad people. Is JC abrasive at times...yes. Do I bang heads with him...yes...lots. Is he head strong about the way he does things and how he feels....you bet. That having been said: There has NEVER been a time in the year or so that I have known him that he has ever declined a request for help from anyone. His tournaments are full of some of the best fishermen in RI. I hope to be as good as them some day. They flock to John for advice, help, and when it comes to charity, there is no one who does more and says less about it than John. He is all business and loud, no doubt. Remember that someone can only be a dictator if YOU allow them to. When he is wrong...I tell him, so does Mike, and Jigga, and Carl. Problem is, when it comes to fishing, he is not wrong very often. So again Paul, I wish you luck and the best in life and fishing, by I agree with some of the others....you are way off base on this one. Peace!! ajr Quote
bassinri Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 Got out today on Indian. Was hopeing to have a cloudy day all day but that changed fast. Sun came out round 10 30. I got a nice one hanging near a dock in the shallows. I was useing a black power worm 7 inches long with Tru Tungsten bullet weight. Fish weighed a tad over 4 lbs on my hang scale. Got one other one near the docks and called it a day. Friday I was cooped up in the house and decided to go over to Roger Williams park and do some shore fishing. Fished off the bridge near the old seal pond or whatever it was near the Elmwood ave entrance. Caught 2 NICE ones. They were right under the bridge in the deepest water. Basically everywhere Ive been they are all done with the spawn except for Gortons where I did see a few still on beds. Heading back to RW park later this afternoon. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Had plans to fish with Matt S for the 1st time to do some Cape fishing yesterday, but becuase he's got an upcoming T on Oldham pond in Pemproke MA we figured we check it out. Niether one of us had ever been there before so off we went. On the water around 6am, clouds with rain which was pretty heavy at times, with a light wind, water temps between 68-72. Intersesting pond, and glad we left the gas motor at home. This place has some very decieving obstructions, with sand bars boulders and pillons popping up when you least expect it. Whatched one boat find that out the hard way while blasting by the largest island  :-? Couple of fish around 3lbs and the rest were pretty much cookie cutters around 2lbs. Had a monster nearly rip the rod right out my hands, and while I turned to Matt saying "Holy carp" he came back for a second time, but snapped the line right at the knot. At that point it became a huge pickerel  ;D Ended up with about a donzen fish and the best five going 13lbs. Great fishing with ya Matt and good luck this weekend! Quote
Pondtooner Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Went out to hit some new water this saturday(finally not raining).Started out on a small pond in foxboro right on rte 1. Bad idea supper thick veg not much open water. From there hit a pond in Norton much better.Drove by this pond a million times and never even thought to give it a shot.Glad we did though.I have been on the biggest slump of my life.Really so bad I haven't even wanted to fish the last few weeks. Enough of my sob story. Norton was really good we caught about 12 Larry's between the two of us.I caught a 3 lber so I'm back to being a fishaholic.Sorry no pics. THIS RAIN SUXS Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Haven't been on the water in over a week and I was jones-in. So I took the day off and hit Onley pond. Water temps steady @ 67*, water level very high and stained due to all the rain. Flipped a jig up tight and behind everything I could get into for the 1st 3 hours w/o a tap. Switched over to the flat sided slammer I painted in shad pattern for the next hour twiching it like a jerkbait, only to have a 2lb rainbow take a swipe. Went to the Buzzjet converted to a Trout pattern and got 5 quick ones best around 3-3.5lbs. Decided I'd try the pads w/the Black Bronze eye and got another 5 w/ the biggest going about the same 3-3.5lbs, and missed about 5 more in the pads. Best five went around 11+. Very slow and tough bite yesterday, but still better than working. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 ll appologize now just incase the story isn't percise, I'm a walking zombie at this point working on 6 hours sleep since awakening @ 3am on Friday morning. Hit Singeltary pond in Sutton MA Friday night w/Mattzzz from 5pm until 3am, should have left at 1am. Couldn't tell ya what the water temps were like due to a downed fishfinder. Wanted to put Matt on some decent SM and LM somewhat close to home. Feaky weather the intire night, everything from rain thunder lightning with bats a million fireflies, an extremeley cold wind which at one point left me shivering. Matt picked up a nice 4lb LM early which was immediately followed by a solid 3lber which were both caught on a watermelon candy chigger craws. Unfotunatley, If I recall that was it for him the rest of the evening. I threw the trout pattern Buzzjet 99% of the time and believe I had arounf 13 LM and SM with the biggest being a LM going 3.3/4 lbs. The bite died off around 1am but we stuck around hoping to increase our best 5 from that I think was around 12lbs. I only picked up one more LM in the last 2 hours. In those two hours the white perch/crappie activity was unbelievable, 1000's of them breaking the surface caoralling bait fish like the hole lake was on e big boiliung pot of H2o. As always, a ton a laughs and I had a great time fishing w/ya Matt Mat has a few pics he'll post up from the trip. We'll do it again soon Matt! BTW..... We missed you at the T today, hope you'll be at the next one. The near Cape T today didn't go as planned but, worked out very nice in the end. Had Tanner aboard with me today, and figured we kill-em, wroong! I spent most of the morning punching pads and by 10am we were already culling with a 5lb beauty I hoisted to boot. Oooooooooooh what a day this was going to be Not the case! Sad to say the rest of the day we struggled culling 1.4's though 1.8's and with 2 hours left my batt's were hurtin, I made one last attempt ot go back up stream, 30 minutes in I pick up one going 1.12lbs for a decent cull from 1.8. Dave and Jeff were nice enough to offer us their extra Batt which really helped us out. Without their generousity we would have had to stay in front of the ramp for the next hour or so. My hats off to them We only hooked into one more fish in that hour but, wasn't even woth the effort. Got off my game plan a bit for the day, but in the long run it really didn't hurt us. We weighed in 11.35 lbs with 5lber for lunker, there was only one boat left to weigh in and as they're transfering we all see what we think is the winning bag that also has a LM in the 6lb range. They hit the scale.........................11.35, SOB%@$$@#!%!!! Their lunker 4.75lbs We break the tie w/lunker lunker by 1/4lb to cap off a very tough day. Had fun fishing with ya today Tanner and thanks for joinigng me. We'll see ya at the next one. Crappy cell pics of Friday night, then my lunker from today.... Another Buzzjet hawg from Fiday night Todays lunker Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Not bad for my first striper of the year..38" didn't weigh it,I'd say mid twenty's.Caught on a live mackeral in 40' of water off Wood End. Awesome fish! ...but boat fish don't count. 8-) Quote
Bassnajr Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Caught a nice 6lber. at my favorite spot this morning right before the rain. Maybe the weather is turning??? Quote

HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Double report........ 7-26-09 It was a very tough day on the water yesterday. Working on 2 hours sleep once again, I almost fell out of the boat 3 times. It seems continuous lack of sleep may deprive the brain of oxygen, hmmmmmm? who would have thought! LOL By 11:30am the thunder rolled in and I hadn't put a fish in the boat other than 3 catfish. Contimplated pulling out and heading back home to bed. I threw everything I used to put a decent bag together while preifishing the prior Sunday to no avail. There was actually only one lure left in my arsenal I had never used before and figured it couldn't hurt. Banged out 2 decent Smallmouth back to back withn the 1st few casts. Continued to throw a C-rig for the last two hours and with 20 minutes to go I landed my 5th keeper. I worked extremely hard for these fish and it the other 8 fisherman I spoke to only had 2 or 3 fish. Of course the one team I hadn't seen all day ended up putting together an outstanding weight for a very tough day. Being off kilter and sleep walking, I deside to remove my fish from the livewell from the side of my boat while standing in the water,NEVER EVER DO THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!LOL My biggest fish makes a running charge and jumps completely out of the livewell over the side of the boat and back to were he belonged, SWIMMING IN THE LAKE! WTH??? I walk away in total depression! About 5 seconds later I hear my fellow competitors yelling" Get him, throw him on the beach" I turn to see what all the comotion is about and low and behold, it's my jail breaking LM swimming in 6 inches of water in front of the ramp, DUMB FISH! LOL They actually corralled him and tossed him on land, WAHOOOOO!!!!!! Unfriggin real, did I mention I love these guys! I weigh in my five fish as do the other teams, but they only have 2 or 3 fish per boat, other than the one boat I never saw all day and they come to the scale with a whopping 14.80lbs on five fish and a lunker Smallmouth @ 5.05. That's two wins in a row for the local team, in addition to bringing another lunker Smallmouth over 5lbs! I ended up w/10.25 for 2nd place. 7-29-09 Worked both day and night on my birthday so I took yesterday off to prefish a lake for the 1st time for an up coming tourney on the 16th. Maaaaaan, we absolutely slaughtered-em! 28 total fish,mostly largemouth weighing 40+ lbs. Gotta love fishing a new lake and everything you do works! My friend Matt had his best outing ever with his best 5 fish weighing 12+lbs. It's always fun watching a non-tourny guy load the boat. Matt caught about 10 fish himself and I eneded up w/18 total with my best 5 fish weighing 15.9lbs. Our combined best 5 fish went 21.12 lbs! This outing was an oddity for sure. Smallmouth being caught in the shallows on everthing form craws to swimbaits, and Largemouth being caught evrywhere from 18 to 33 ft of water. Caught a few 5lbers, 3 in the 4lb range and a boat load of 3lbers,as well as landing a few trout, 1 Rainbow and 1 Brookie. ;D Had a great time and lots of laughs. Quote
