Conference wahoo::fishing

    ...Is catching a bass this a pre-requisite? I've been skunked!
    ...and I only own a canoe...
    
    Jeff

    NOPE,  CATCHING BASS IS NOT A PRE-REQUISITE, JUST A BONUS.   ALL
    BUT ONE TOURNEY (THE ONE AT NIGHT) PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SKUNKED.  I
    OWN A CANOE BUT THEY WONT ALLOW IT (SAFETY I THINK MASS BASS RULES).
    THE ONLY THING REQUIRED IS YOU CANT USE LIVE BAIT, AND THE BOAT
    HAS TO HAVE A LIVE WELL, NO STRINGERS.  ALSO ALL FISH CAUGHT ARE
    RELEASED, SO WE CAN CATCH THEM AGAIN.

    BBP,
       You know Craig and Wayne?  Or should I call craig Mr. Bass
    Craig has won 2 of our tourney's and got skunked at two.  I pulled
    his name has a partner once, he's got the touch.
    
    Les
    (NoT shOUtIng AnyMoRE)

    Hay Don one win does not make a champion..
    
    yes Les Wayne and Craig and myself along with RR/TBDW belong to
    the Worcester Bass Masters.  Craig "MR Bass" is the Pres, Wayne
    is the Tournament Director and I am the secretary.
    
    I was asked to join your club when it was first formed.  Two clubs
    and the state trail is just tooooooo many tournaments.

    Hey BB
        What or who does TBDW stand for?

    re.-1 
    The (infamous) Back Deck Wizard

    re.-2                                              
    Yea, I know Bob, not claiming to be a `champion', YET!
                                                       
    However after Sept 19th, you'll probably be more comfortable with
    referring to me as such!                           
                                                       
    Don Mac  (now I'll leave this poor guy's note alone)

    Garry Wiersum calls himself "The Back Deck Wizard"  because he always
    fishes in the back of RR boat, and kicks rr A&& fishing.
    
    BBP
    

    Does Gary wiersum have another alias?
    
    Prehaps Gary (have I got a job for you) Stewart.

    No Garry (note two r) is Garry Wiersum from CPU or CPO or Corprate
    Product something Management.  And he only thinks he is a back deck
    wizard.
    
    Bass Bob   Hay TBDW were are you??????????
    

    
    That goes back 10 years.  yes it is the same 
    
    Nice to know your into it let's get together, you must owe me a
    beer after all these years.

    BB, Les does have the right guy.
    
    I didn't go to the UK.  I spent two weeks on the French Riviera, Italian
    Riviera, Switzerland and Paris.  When I get a chance I'll talk about
    fishing in Italy.  I would have fished in Cannes and Nice and St.
    Tropaz but couldn't take my eyes off the beach.

    JUST A QUICK REPLY ON NIGHT FISHING. IVE NIGHT FISHED MANY TIMES
    AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY PRODUCTIVE WAY TO CATCH BASS. MY FAVORITE
    LURES ARE JITTERBUGS AND REBELS ON CARM NIGHTS AND PIG AND JIGS
    OR SPINNERS WITH WIND. BLACK ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE THE BEST COLOR.
    WE ALSO STARTED A BASS CLUB THIS YEAR N.E. B.A.S.S. ANGLING ASSOC.#4813
    WERE BASED OUT OF N. CHELMSFORD MA. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 14 MEMBERS.
    IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FRIENDLY COMPITION SOME TIME LET US
    KNOW.    JACK BRICKLEY PRESIDENT   KEVIN POMEROY TRESURER

    Just thought I would add my AMEN to night fishing.  Down here in
    Memphis this time of year the daytime temp. ranges in the mid 90's
    with the humidity in the 80's to 90's so night fishing is the only
    way to go short of enjoying frying your brain.  A tip that I have
    found works great down here is to use a 5 to 6" grub or worm on
    a 1/4 ounce jig head and just swim it about 6" off the bottom. It's
    similar to fishing the Do-nuthing worm, you can cover alot of water
    in a short time.  The last club tourny we had was a night tourny
    and swimming a worm netted a first place win with 13 lbs. 10 ozs.
    ( 7 fish limit ).  This type lure works best fishing rip-rap or
    points.

Most of my fishing has also been in the early evening into the still of the
night and I find it to be the most fun.  There's nothing that cvan make your
blood boil and the adrenelin flow than a 4-5 pounder smashing a topwater
bait after dark!

And lately, the topwater fishing has really picked up on the lakes and
ponds up here in southern NH.  With the cool evenings we've had lately and
the water cooling down, I'd expect the action to start picking up as ole
bucketmouth starts feeding to get ready for the winter months.

later...

    Hey TBDW,
         Ray (the tadpole) Tadry and I figure we should get together
    and suck down some cool ones, and lie about bucket mouth while
    trying to get him.  What do you think, do you remember Ray?
    
    Les

    Hey Big Garrrrrrry, 
    Didn't know you were a bass fisherman. I know you used to troll
    alot. I think YOU owe me a beer for something, give me time i'll
    think of something.
    
    Good fishing,
    ray

    
    
    Trolling had nothing to do with fishing.
    
    you both owe me lot's o beers.
    
    are you guys fishing this ma/nh mess?
    
    

    Hey TBDW
    
       re. .20
    
        Your right about the first thing!
    
        Wrong about the second!   Its the other way around.
    
        and Tell me more about the ma/nh mess
    
        Its only Mr. Stuart when your peddling flesh.

    Re. 15
    
    	Well the results are in!!
                               
    	Both clubs showed up on June 26 at Lake Cochituate (sp) in Natick.
    Worcester County Basser had 11 fishing and N.E.B.A.A. 8 fishing.
    W.C.B. took their top eight weights at the weigh in.  The Weather
    was great and the fishing was even better, for some.
                                              
       W.C.B. weighed in 32.7 Lbs.  with Wayne Carlson bringing in 
    8.5 Lbs. on four bass with the lunker, 2.4 Lbs.  Ray Tadry and Ken
    Kulp brought in 6 Lbs. (W.C.B),  I caught 4 weighing 3.4 Lbs
    N.E.B.A.A. weighed in 4.7 Lbs on 4 fish.            
    
      It was a GOOD TIME, we'll do it again next year.

    Hay Les you should get the story straight with wcb..  They think
    the beat the best DEC BASS FISHERMAN..  Wrong they beat YOUR club.
    I know those guys, and I can make an eight man team of from dec
    that would blow them out of the water..  
    
    Some of the Top Mass bass anglers work for dec all across the state.

    	Bassin Bob..(who_has to listen to wcb brag about killing DEC)
    

>>    I know those guys, and I can make an eight man team of from dec
>>    that would blow them out of the water..  
  
Hey, Bob...how about putting together an OFFICIAL challenge??

-HSJ-  

    Gey Bob what language is that. Got me all confused. The tourney
    was WCB against another club. Not a DEC club. I was there. I am
    a DEC employee as is LES and KEN and STEVE, the other team had 
    DEC employees and never said they were representing DEC. I would
    take about half of what people say and through it out the window.
    I would imagine their are just trying to get you going. I know DEC
    has alot of good fisherpeople and I would say its because of this
    note. (aren't I a diplomat?) So Bassin Bob put away your sleeping
    pills and get a good night sleep.
    
    Ray Tadry

    HEY BOB,
          Get your story straight!!!!!   The story was that W.C.B. beat
    N.E.B.A.A. or cant you read?????????
    	  Both clubs have people from DEC, neither is a DEC club.
    
    	Now a challange!!!!!!
    
    	Sure let me talk to our club.   If you fish like you did at
    the Mass Fed tourny on June 12 it should be easy pickings.  
    Every member of W.C.B. out fished you, but then how hard is it to
    catch more than .92 lbs of bass in 8 hours, uh, wait a minute,
    wasn't that your partner that caught the only fish from your team??
    Isn't he the newest member of W.C.B.???   
    	The bottom line is this, our club got challanged, we accepted
    we beat them, and NO, I repeat NO nasties were written about the
    outcome, until YOU go and start something, we all had a good time
    right Kevin & Jack??   But now bb has gone and set a spark under
    me,  almost has bad has the time you called me at my office and
    told me HOW GREAT YOU ARE AND WHAT A GREAT FISHERMAN YOU ARE, AND
    HOW YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO JOIN A CLUB LIKE OURS FOR THE LACK OF
    COMPETITION, then why did 3 of your top members and the #1 basser
    quit to start or join ours.   Why dont your club challange ours?
    
    Les
    
    P.S.  apologies go out for me loosing my cool, except to bb.
          Not in my nature,
    	   
        

  It seems to me that the people who started (or joined) 
    your club did so, so they would not have any comptition 
    to make the 8 man team.  You could
    quote that from two of them who I would not mention.
    
    AS per the .92..  it was .96 and I caught it.
    If you notice it was WB members who won that tournament.
    Any one can have a bad day.  
    
    Bassin Bob
    
    Oh and I did not notice any WCB in the top at the last Federation
    event.  But the 1st and 3rd place teams where from WB.

    bb,
        Not many of our members fish the Mass events, only 1 or 2 do.
    Next year I am sure more will fish the trail.
    
    BUT.....  the winner of the MASS State FISH OFFS and the captain
    of the 8 man team to represent Mass in the divisionals IS a 
    member of WORCESTER COUNTY BASSERS.
    
    And as far as Competition goes, we dont play CUT THROAT.  Information
    on openly shared, and has helped all.   We got 16 members and I
    am sure that the 2 people you mentioned will make the 8 man team,
    they are good and you know it too.  Right now I am in first but
    that is only with 2 of our 5 tounrys, I know I will make the 8 man
    team this year.

    YO,
        I have no idea which team is better (which could change on any
    given day), all I want to know is which team has the BETTER LOOKING
    JACKETS?!

    WE DO!!!
    
        WORCESTER COUNTY BASSERS!!!!
    
        Black Jackets with Red Letters
    
    	Worcester Bassmasters are blue or purple with white letters

    No they are not...  They are blue with Gold letters!!
    
    Have to admit the new WcB jackets are nice!
    
    Bassin bob
    
    But a jacket does not make a fisherperson a good one!
    

    But it helps....a good moral boost. Some of these guys wanted WCB
    underwear and matching seatcovers for their cars. Seriously, Midland
    Graphics in Marlboro did the embroidery, we got them from DeLong
    thru Midland. 

    
    
     You folks are all lucky !!
    
     When your a member of the biggest bass club in the state (55members),
    a bass meeting is more like a town meeting. Lot's of budget issues
    and bylaw issues etc.. 
     Making the 8 - man team becomes very tough when some of the best
    anglers in the state are in your club.
     Keep it small and remember, enjoy the sport !!!
