How did you fix all those stripers you caught that you don't like to eat?

Didn't keep any stripers, rarely do. Don't like the taste.

What


other 'bottomfish' did you latch onto? You must be the only soul in the whole
bay catching stripers while drifting and bottomfishing!

Never said I was catching stripers bottomfishing. Have caught stripers
drift-fishing. Certainly beats the way you do it, towing a ton of heavy
metal.


Sorry, Harry. I thought you said, "We caught a few stripers without trying very
hard, and a handful of bottom fish. Drift fishing and casting to structure. At
least we didn't have to troll for them."

I got the impression you caught stripers 'drift fishing' the day you went to
Tangier, had lunch, visited cemeteries, etc. I suppose when you're 'drift
fishing' you mean you're trolling the bait behind the boat somehow, and its not
on the bottom? I've never done that. Sounds almost like you've got a chum line
out. But that couldn't be, 'cause you're drifting. Wow, a new technique. Sounds
cool. Especially for this time of year, when the stripers are pretty close to
the top of the water.


You're not much of a fisherman, despite your last name. Driftfishing is
not limited to bottomfishing. There are any number of ways to keep a
driftfished bait at the surface or just below it.

While drifting or anchored, you've never freelined a bait? Or in case of
a heavier bait, used a float to keep it in the water column? Never used
a cork float with a stopper knot and a sinker to keep your bait at a
predetermined depth while anchored?

All you know how to do is drag rigs to snag fish?

Do you look for diving birds when you take your boat that big mile out
of Deale Harbor? Do you have a casting rig with an artficial ready to
toss in the water where the birds are diving for baitfish? You've never
caught stripers or blues that way?

What the hell do you guys do? Run the engine at low RPMS, toss out and
drag the heavy metal, and guzzle beer until something happens?

You need some fishing lessons, Herring. No wonder you are so excited
about catching a fish.

Oh, by the way, the smaller stripers taste much better than the larger
ones. Try targeting fish in the 25-30 inch category.

You are wearing gloves when you boat your stripers, right? You do know why?



Ah, such music. Derogatory is where it's at, right Harry?

25-30 inch stripers are great. Of course, the season now is the 'trophy' season,
so all those less than 28'ers you caught were illegal when you ate them. I'm
thinking about taking away your shovels, Harry.


I don't keep or eat stripers, dicquehead. As I have stated many times, I
don't like the way they taste.

Such glorious name-calling! You are truly a master, Harry. I just have a fuzzy
brain this morning, so I'm wondering. If you don't eat or keep stripers, then
how the hell do you know that the 'smaller stripers taste much better than the
larger ones'?
