Just a nice semi-overcast day on the Bay. Caught about 15 spot on
Berkley bloodworms and very small hooks, dumped them into the livewell,
and went in search of big fish via livelining. Caught a few blues, one
decent sized striper, but he escaped. Neighbor who accompanied me caught
a keeper striper. May try again tomorrow if the forecasted wind doesn't
materialize. Didn't see Herring out there.

Rain and thunder kept me in, but that's OK.... it gave me time to work
on the AM/FM/Satellite install......


Do you really fish for Herring?



Naw. Usually I buy a block of frozen Herring and grind it up for chum.


Here, though, if you put out a tiny piece of bloodworm, the Herring will
bite on it 20 times a day, apparently. (My filter collects headers, not
contents.)

Trouble is...in here, the 'Herring' sh*ts all over the place and polutes the
entire newsgroup.

How's your mom today, Don?



I'm cutting you and several others a new deal. You are temporarily out
of my bozo bin.

Beginning today, if you and the others I have released behave
reasonably, I will treat you the same way.

But when you post one of your snide little insults, as you have above,
I'll simply call you out on it thusly:


Here's yet another of the many daily attacks from
______________________, and if you count them up, you will
see what he adds here in "boating" content.



The __________________, obviously, will be reserved for the name of the
insulter.

I understand keeping live bait alive in a livewell. I also understand
keeping fish alive in one when tournament fishing.

With that understanding........what is the purpose of keeping fish
intended to be on the dinner table in one knowing you eventually have to
put them on ice during the trip from the boat to home (knowing they will
die along the way)? I have no problem keeping my catch fresh on ice in
the cooler throughout a day of fishing.

Lastly....how do you start up and then shut down a livewell after a day
of fishing?

I never had a livewell so excuse the questions.

I don't know of any reason to keep those fish you intend to eat at the
end of a day's trip in the livewell.

Because 1/2 a day equals 12 hours. If you're out fishing that long and
bluefish are the reward, you keep them half a day fresher. Ice is fine,
but live is better. Your mileage may vary. Matter of fact, it WILL vary.



1/2 day does not equal 12 hours when fishing. 1/2 day boats in San Diego do
about 6 hours and the 3/4 day boats that go to the Coronados in MX leave at
6am and return at about 6 pm.

Great sport fishing for herring. American Shad are the largest of the
herring and one of the great sport fish.

Unfortunately, the herring fishery around here has pretty much been
destroyed by factory-style boats that overcatch the species
for...fertilizer, I believe.

Harry, if asking Don how is mom is doing is an 'attack', then how would you
classify this:

"Trouble is...in here, the __________ ****s all over the place and polutes
the entire newsgroup."


(Insert name of your choosing in the _________)


Your constant repetition of the "mom" question aimed at Don is nothing
more than an insult.

Therefo

Here's yet another of the many daily attacks from John Herring, a
frequent rec.boats poster, and if you count them up, you will see how
little
he adds here in boating/fishing content or interesting reading.

I'm honored, as usual!

Are you tracking your attacks also?
