Look who is talking! You said in your earlier message that you don't even confront anyone (SMILE)!
I hate to badmouth Bayfisher, but when I met him, I asked him if he read PIERANDSURF. He said yes, and I asked him who he was. I told him that I was Green Cart. He was forewarned.
I think he posted because he thought that I was too stupid to write to PIERANDSURF because I was deaf. As for the other guy who was getting ready to go to the pier from the parking lot, I think Bayfisher posted because he inferred that the other guy did not have a computer.
Im still fishing at Matapeake for C&R fishing;I went out on the pier yesterday from 7:30am-1pm.I caught about 8 Stripers from 10-21" and 2 White Perch with one being 11".Early in the day it was halway calm,but at about 10:30 it got windy.The guy next to me caught a 33" Striper that was probily 24lbs.I also met Scorperino the same day;weather was a little rough,but still not bad.
UPDATE! I dont, and never cared for what any other thinks, assumes, or opinionates on what i do, fish, live or breath. secondly, i have all the pictures that i need for me to know, with god, and the fish as witness. I use whatever technique tools and rod,reel,tackle setup to get it done. I am known at matapeake for many years with ones who are NOT vindictive. A true fisherman trusts, respects, and honors anothers catch. the problem is that the sooner we face the doubts, assumptions of others, the sooner that we can get along with each other when its realtime on. you see, i have been to Hatteras, buxton, ocracoke, and eastern seaboard enough to know when to turn off the conflicting and mostly damaging attitudes that breed for others to be misearable. jealousy is the culprit i believe when another DIS'S anothers outing. people before you get off on a tangent(I am not yet)stop the pot shots on anothers attitudes, techniques, and let go, and get real, get over the jealousy and intimidation, grow up and get a fish on, cause i aint buyin whats being sold by those who jus cant get along.
YOU want proof for matapeake. email me, will send few KODAK MOMENTS. as for green....yo bro what happened? freindly on the pier...thats what i remembered. and BTW. i do high technology in college, in saying that...tight lines...and lets try not to limit ourselves to a corner in this forum, venture out sometimes. this isnt the be all end all solution. bayfisher@hotmail.com
I think it's time to kill this topic...
Let's all just relax.. It could have happened or maybe it did not but important thing is that you guys were out there and enjoyed a beautiful weather plus left all hectic life style behind for one day. I was accused for reporting false report on this topic but for those fished Metapeake...they know it's true... Bring on the cow!!
It is not hard to have double digit hook-ups in Matapeake when the fish is running and u know what u r doing. I am gonna miss It been a regular there for over 8 years.
Goodluck all in opening day

I AM THE SKINNY REDHEAD ON THE LEFT CORNER WITH MASTER POLE,UGLY 11' AND ELIMINATOR, WITH BLUERUNNER,BAITRUNNER,AND ALWAYS REBAITIN RODS,CASTING, AND AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER, HAD TENT ON PIER.
I'm just a guy who likes to fish As soon as I bait the hooks, the whole world goes away, just how it should be Its really good to see the tension leave this board. Let's all go fishin'!
DirtyHarry...Me to. Guess it was just a little release after being couped up all winter watching the guys on TV catching them. Looking forward to meeting some more P&S guys this season.
I'm with you Catman, the winter withdrawal was certainly there. I'm on vacation all week so if anyone wants to drop hooks, let me know. I live about 15 min from Matapeake.
Bulls starting to be caught. 32" w/18" girth,photos, along with before the 4 tstorms came through, the fog, drop of 30 degrees, and drizzle, two other women caught bull stripers along with me, but sadly, one lost a tackle box, packed to the hilt, to the bay (we know what that feels like) if you dont, one day will. good luck with winter fishing in snow, although, lets try not to get cornered on the 19th of april by the 100,000 boats and first timers at the pier.
CAUGHT YESTERDAY WERE 22-32-39" ROCKFISH AT MATAPEAKE, of which were 5 only by me, pics @ 11, other than that , it was slow going. tightlines and BRING A NET!
Last Night I went fishing agin at Matapeake;A few big White Perch,8-12in Sripers.After catching all the small ones I got surprized at about4:00am by a 30" Striper that wieghed 12.5lbs,after that fish I seen and lost about an 22"er.It was slow drizzelly,and very cool;but I waited and the big one hit.Hopefully they'll be bigger next time.All the fish were caught on bloodworms,however I need to try other baits to weed out the smaller fish.
