Sit down my friend and let me tell you a story of a nights fishing!!!! Bwaaaaaa haaaa haaaa
So the night began meeting up around around 6:30 at St Marys Park in Bridgeport where he fished for Porgies and I threw chunks for Blues or just something bigger which he had already stated probably wouldnt happen there but I really have no interest in Porgies. He caught 4 as it was really dead there except for one small window when everyones poles went stiff and then it died off as fast as it started. We then left there around 11:30 and went to a beach in Westport where he has been catching stripers at incoming tide when the water is cooler. Anyway, we just kinda sat there for awhile waiting for the tide to start coming in as it was dead still. I brought 2 poles while Bill brought 1 and was just plug fishing but brilliant me figured Id dble my chances! I set up my sand spike but the beach was totally hard with small rocks and couldnt get that stupid thing into the ground more then like 3" so I built a rock pile around it to help support it. Around 1 we waded into the water just below our pockets and began to throw plugs, 2 of his friends showed up about then. Bill got a hit and caught a 26" striper but no one else was getting anything and then........................ we heard this big splash!!!!!!!!! It was followed by a strange series of splashes in which we were all like what the hell is that and then we all went OH sh*t!!!!!!!! We proceeded to spin around and all start throwing plugs in that direction to try and..... you guessed it..... try and catch my pole!!!!!!!!! The big hit must have pulled enough line to apply to much pressure to that stupid sand spike not buried in the beach enough and it fell over knocking the Baitrunner clicker into set mode setting the hook and away she went through the water and gone with the wind. No luck trying to snag it!!!!! Anyway, I guess you can say I caught the big one...... sort of! If you can hear this it is the sound of me crying!!!!!! Got home around 4:30!
 
Total bummer. Was it still better then your best day at work?

Yep, The wife has already given me the permission to replace the set up so Ill be getting almost the same set up, think I might step down a little on line test to get a slightly better cast.
 
Did she say you could also purchase a big a$$ rock to hold it all in place next time as well!

Is that why Dan is telling everyone on the other forum that you have a SMALL pole?

Seeing as I still have an 8'er Im not sure where hes getting that idea! Should be ordering a new set up tomorrow after work.
 
Haha.


I have seen this many of times while ice fishing. Those little fishing rods get set on the ice and walked away from...... The rest is history!!!


Good times, At least the fish are biting....
 
Bummer wde, I had one jerked over the side of my boat once when I dozed off

While in there though I saw a much nicer sturdier steel spike that will stick in the rough surf much easier as its skinny and has pegs to stand on and really dig it in to the ground. A little pricier but way better then that stupid PVC pipe thing that I havent been able to stick in any ground yet.
