Shad

The guy next to me last night was upset because he couldn,t catch a shad small enough for live lining .
they were the largest I,ve seen in a long time .one was just over 22".

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

Years ago we use to fish the Great Island bridge and live line Shad in the channel. So there was this guy from CT who had a giant live well in his pickup. I saw him get a 61# Bass right on the corner of Champlin's.

No boat, back in the suds.

Clammer,

I got to believe the you very well may be the best and most knowledgeable fisherman in RI. Still chuckle when I think of your bait trick for trout. You are one sly fox.

He towed a boat with a 63 Corvette. That alone should win the award for best (or most dedicated) fisherman in RI.

I believe if it wasn,t for the love of the water .I wouldn,t be here ///////////// so much comes down to respect of people , places & things >>>>>>>>> and for that I am forever thankful .

We got to the last one .I told John . when I pull up close , you only have one short .bang, a nice 25# .. that was it for the night , a little later ,he said to me . dead serious …. we,ve never been here before .[JOHN} you had never been there before ……..kep the aces in your pocket ><><>

Tide starts to drop at 8:00 PM, 2 hours later on the backside of a certain deserted island and BANG, BOOM, SMASH. And Clammer shows me how it's done from the boat before I had a boat!

Indeed! Indeed! and Indeed again. I'll relate that story to some I know. Clammer you're a good man. When I went through the {C} all I had was people telling me what I "should do" not one asked what I wanted to do. Of course wife and daughters were over protective, but outside that everyone wanted to tell me what was best for me. Wish I had a Clammer in NJ in my life back then to take my mind off things. What a great story! Jim

I watched my wife fight it for 7 years ..she may have lost but sge did it her way .…………… I,ve also had prostrate cancer twice & skin cancer surgery 3 times .but I was real fortunite with the initial bout with P/C ,it came at a time when this site was very active …………………..& I was lucky enough [while waiting to have my surgery to go to Cutty with a awesome crew from here...no time to dwell ……… & better yet .when I was recovering ……& still in diapers .I got to go again ……… sadly I didn,t bring enough backups to makeup for all the peeing I did with another much of crazy guys …………………. that,s what I miss .
sorry that ya didn,t have a great support system .S.B was mine because my wife was our main priorty & at the time she,ll was still fighting .
I,m truly glad I never saved much of amything for the goldern years ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Because they sure ain,t now
