They are a sponsor there so perhaps it’s fine with Tim, but that doesn’t mean the locals need to like it or support that company. I can tell you if I came here and wrote about the places I fish in RI, the people I fish with and respect would not respect me. The difference between you and him that he is a business promoting his products just like Red Top and Canal Bait and Tackle. The Canal is 7 miles long and he was not specific on the exact location. What are you pissed off? The timing of his post or the mentioning of the Canal where the fish was caught? it’s ridiculous all these attacks on a fish caught in a 7 miles stretch during new moon tides.. lureman, willcodfish, riggler and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although overkill, they allow quick changes of the Joe Baggs jig heads as the current changes. For line I prefer original fused fireline for jigging in 30lb. My 80# seagar leader will break before this line. Amazingly strong and abrasion resistant. For plugging I like Suffix 832 in 50# or 40#. I do go down one size in tactical anglers clips for stick shadds and pencils. I jig with 50 and plug with 30.

The guy that answered the phone at the shop may not have even been fishing that week. This website SOL is supposed to have rules against spot burning and you would think that it would be frowned upon to do while also making a profit off of them. If a new young fisherman posted a pic and report here it would have gotten locked/removed. I recall this happening before. emptyhook and Sandbar1 2 troll #122 <*)))< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly thicker and protects my finger from cuts with heavy jigs and no finger tape. R.R. Bridge Fisher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The response to this isn't surprising. Regardless of the SOL rules a thread like this is going to result in some level of negativity, especially from the local guys. I would expect the same if someone posted a Montauk or Jersey report.

That’s what you got out what I wrote? Sorry this guy is your friend I feel as others about burning spots any spot. Sorry the guys I grew up fishing with would not respect you if you had loose lips. Or promoted yourself as a fisherman when your really a salesman. People are too sensitive these days. The thing is his self promotion only serves him no one else. Other similar posts would be gone by now. Some of you guys the same guys that are his friend are sticking up for him fine I’m sure he’s a nice guy. But others are bothered by nonsense. That’s my take on it. Like it or not. It’s a game of numbers in the end more people that see this post better for his business.

If you remember, the guy that caught a sailfish years ago at the east end had sandals and socks, so I may try that late August for sailfish I was only expecting 25lbers, if fish makes unexpected strong run can always flip down second strap! ged 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are wrong here to begin with. He has the right to promote his business just like the tackle shops around the canal. He does not need to promote himself personally since he is well known in his dedication to fishing and the quality of fish he catches around the world. You and your friends are a bunch of whiners. lureman and RonG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKu Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 The rules about what to post and not to post especially when dealing with the canal are really complicated. Seeing that probably 50% or more of this board has some reference to the canal you would think it's the only place to fish. I personally like reading about information about the canal. I don't see any issue with this report. The guy caught one or two fish. Big deal. I wish I could have a day like John B in the you tube video. Epic. Haven't been there yet this year but I'll eventually get there. Maybe the canal has to be banned from this board. Any post with the word canal or any alias words dealing with the canal should be removed. Remove all from history also. Do you think this will minimize the crowds? Probably not since there's a lot of people private messaging and posting in other locations. Not to mention the reports from the tackle shops and other boards that always put a positive spin on the fishing to get more customers through the door. Time to go to bed. I need to get up early to go fishing. I was thinking about going to the canal but I think I'll go somewhere else. Have a great day whatever you're doing.

z-man Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 4 hours ago, levari said: It does not matter if they are BS or not. These reports advertise the canal as a great fishing spot around new moon and during great tides. You just ignore the shops because you know that you will be a joke if you attack them the way you attack Kil. I’m not attacking anyone. What bait shops are posting reports on SOL? All I’m saying is Kil shouldn’t post names of the spots he’s fishing in his reports. I’m sure it annoys people in other states as well when he posts about the jetty he’s fishing or whatever. He seems like a good guy but he should change how he discusses his reports. Giving specific spots is not necessary and not needed to market his gear and is disrespectful for the local fishermen. Keep the reports coming but be more vague with the locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
