I'm done with this thread.Time to head BACK out and get MORE bass.

Actually I am the RI distributor for these if the RI DEM decides to lift their ban. My life doesn't depend on it, but I obviously have interests in it. I live on Aquidneck Island, and fish the same waters as you on a daily basis throughout the year. I also hold a Biology degree, and run a charter outfit as well. I am merely trying to educate the public when it puts forth misinformation and conjecture. It is natural for anyone with a vested interst whether it be economic, emotional, or otherwise to defend something that is important to them. I have done major research over the last year and a half, and spent alot of time and energy working within the guidelines of the RI general laws to insure this fish was safe and legal. I care very much about our resources here, as my livelihood depends on a healthy and diverse coastal watershed. Without it I would be out of work. I would certainly not jeapordize it in any way, and in my very informed opinion this fish can only help take the pressure off the herring, menhaden, and eel stocks while presenting no threat to the "native species"( Many of which were not indigenous but are now referred to as native, i.e largemouth bass). Not to mention make me a bit of much needed money.

PS, I had bass up to 18 pounds in the bay the last 3 days. Our charter on Thur. had over 130 bass to the boat, 29 of them keepers. Many were caught on the Black Salty.

In more ways than one, as I stated. I see no problem with my "vested"association with this, or my correction of gross mis statements and outright fallicies, anyone would do the same. Nor am I being malicious in any way here, I am merely stating facts as opposed to conjecture. I wonder why you have such a problem with the baits and indirectly me?

FormerUser · 05-13-2006, 12:17 AM

I guess you haven't really read any of my posts then.Exactly where in my posts did I say I have problem with "the baits" or indirectly with you?

Originally all I stated was I was concerned with invasive freshwater species, the black salty being possibly an invasive species.

As far as facts go you ain't posting any.

PS.Sorry Joe I know you started this thread as something informative but its got out of hand.My apoligies.

Relax cappy.Let it go.

exactly, vested interest, imagine that. Thats not steeped in sarcasm, as are prior comments? Maybe I misunderstood you and if the case, I apologize.

As to facts, thats all I have stated and have cited the places and people I got them from. I have obviously read all your posts, and gather that you have some inherent problem or concern with these baits. Again, maybe I misunderstood or misinterpreted your opinions?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

When that's the most important thing everything else suffers.Enjoy your money.Black $alties$.

CaptDom · 05-13-2006, 12:46 AM

Never said $$ was the most important thing, as I would like to see a healthier environment, and would like to have a readily available bait as well for my clients to enjoy a better catch rate. That would make me and them happy. I certainly need money, especially since fuel prices and troubled fish stocks have cut into my livelihood quite a bit in recent years. I did my homework and got lucky enough to get into a venture at the ground level, and I hope it gets approval, for numerous reasons, including money. Why else does one go into business?
I guess my impressions of your problem with me were on the money, pun intended there

. I am sorry if you think money is a problem, but I am a young guy with not much net worth, and would like to increase that. I also would like to see fish stocks rebound, and that includes herring, menhaden, and eels, which I feel this fish would help in that vein. Hope you have a good season basswipe, with or without Black Salties as your bait.

I stand corrected....
Oh well...

Squid kids Dad · 05-22-2006, 07:33 PM

He does seem affiliated with the black salties success...Read his previous posts...

TheSpecialist · 05-22-2006, 09:07 PM

I for one found this information useful. Using these for bait is another alternative to using live herring, which no one can use right now.

It is sad to see some people knocking others for using these baits, when in fact those people who are doing the knocking probably used to use live herring. It is also kind of sad that some of the knockers were the ones that used to ask a million questions a season on 10 different boards, and all of a sudden they are the most proficient fisherperson out there. Give it a rest.
