The Hawg Forum / I don't know what to do guys.

« on: April 04, 2011, 01:02:09 PM »

I am sorry if this is the wrong spot but I don't know where else to post it.

When I moved in to where I am living now the beautiful pond a short walk through the woods from my back yard was a HUGE plus.  On the other side of the pond there were fire pits with beer cans littered around the area.  About a year and a half ago some new people moved in up the street and since then, the trees and shrubs along the edge on my side of the pond have been cut and destroyed, litter from beer cans and bottles to snelled hook wrappers and old fishing line is everwhere and graffiti on the old pump house.  I know the kid that moved in is responsible for destroying the trees and I am willing to bet some of the beer cans are from his father.  If I catch the kid in the act or the father tossing a beer can I am going to be on the phone with DEM and the local police.  Until then, what can I do?  I have thought about trying to get some "carry out what you carry in" signs from dem hoping that the people will see that DEM is taking an interest in the area.  Besides that, what are my options?  Trying to keep things somewhat legal but I am quickly getting fed up.

Fishing Tackle Q & A / Barlows Tackle

« on: August 15, 2010, 06:06:38 PM »

Anyone have any experience ordering from Barlows tackle?  I would like to start making my own lures and possibly do some rod work over the winter and they seem to have everything I would need.  If anyone else can suggest a site to buy supplies as well as forums on the subject, that would be cool too.  Thanks.

Fishing Photos Forum / My new largest

« on: August 14, 2010, 01:27:22 AM »

A little over the 7lb mark caught on a black and blue midnight special AT MIDNIGHT!!!  Haha, my last largest was 5lb 3oz and was caught a little over a week ago.  I almost ticked when this one jumped out of the water, I though it was a pike until it did.  I bought a new trolling motor and livewell today and decided to test it out in my local honey hole.  Glad I did!

Northeastbass.Com Classified Ads / Wanted: Small boat trailer

Looking for a trailer for my 12' flat bottom Jon boat.  Would be cool if it could fit a 14' too because I would like to upgrade over the winter.  Let me know what you have and how much you want.  Not looking to spend a ton but I do have cash.  Thanks guys.

Fishing Tackle Q & A / St. Croix American hand crafted rods...MADE IN MEXICO!!!?

« on: August 03, 2010, 01:08:59 AM »

So, I am a big fan and was really excited when I first saw the St. Croix Mojo Bass rods.  I picked one up tonight and was kind of bummed when I found out its country or origin is Mexico.  I am a big fan of American made so now I am having my doubts if the rod is worth the $100.  What is every ones opinion?  I fished it at Curran tonight around 11pm and do love the feel of it.  If I end up keeping it I think I will eventually end up with at least a few of them.

The Hawg Forum / New member from RI

« on: August 02, 2010, 01:22:36 PM »

Hey guys, my name is Alex and I live in Hope, RI.  I believe I was a member of these forums a couple years ago but wasn't very active and forgot my user name and the email I used.  Anyways, this time around I plan on being very active and hopefully meet some new friends.  I fish Curran a lot because I live right on hope road and can almost spit on it from my house.  If anyone wants to wet some lines over there let me know.  I have a 12' flat bottom that isn't much but it has 2 seats and gets the job done.
