<i> As your humble friendly neighborhood striped bass website provider, I'd like to give a big, heartfelt thanks to everyone, old and new for coming in and hanging out. It brings me great pleasure to see you all and I hope I can keep up my end of the deal by providing a great place for you to swing by, get some good info, and have a great time...

I would like to again extend my thanks to some of the early folks like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Fisherwoman and Baitcaster, Greg (Schoolie Monster), Saltheart, Mike P, MartyK, John M, Bill C, Rich (where is your fly shop anyway??), Harrible, SQUIDMAMA - The coolest name on the 'NET, Mike Thomas @ CapeCodTackle.com and the Wife and the Dad, Fishpart (your 1000th post reel is coming, I need to get three thumbscrews for it and then reassemble it) Wendy - Bill and Steve say you have "The Gift", Tobias, MarcZ, Striperman, Blitzseeker, CanalRatt, and anyone else I may have missed. And I'd really like to thank my wife, Gwen for being so damn understanding...

Thanks to all of you for making this site a success <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7-->!!!

Now an Official Welcome to all those that have swung by in the past month;

Dgetch, SurfDawg, Squidlips, Bruce D, Bob Thomas, Down East, Wesley - IFLYSW, Johnk - Topwater,Mr Kav, Steve in Mass (we'll fish it again sometime soon), Got Stripers (nice two handed BASS) ,Dean D, Mike Nap - Maako21, MikeyBluefish, Frankie, rian "Boston Fan" - GO SOX!!!, Yes, even Patrick FakeJettyJockey, JJ, Kayakmaster,et all), Bassngrass (wonderabouttheshobbies <img src="/Images/Tounge_Wink_Face.gif"><!--e5--> ), Jenn - we gotta hit the Cape this fall!!!, Karen Johnston (The missus Schoolie+Monster <img src="/Images/cool.gif"><!--e6--> ), Matt from Jersey, Big Pete,
Chris F and everyone else that I've missed...

And a moment of rememberance to "Huff". He passed away this summer and is sorely missed. I never met him myself but I know he has many putting in a good word for him with the man upstairs...


Couple things I'd like to do in the near future!!! First, reserve yourname@striped-bass.com e-mail address by sending me an e-mail. SQUIDMAMA is already reserved for a fellow Vineyard Fanatic... I'll be able to give out, let's say, 200 e-mail addresses at this time and more later. I'd also like to start putting together a Fall fishing trip to either Rhody or the Cape, or both <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7--> - who knows... I'm also going to put up a photo section on the site. <a href="mailto:john@striped-bass.com">E-mail</a><!--url--> me a photo or two so I can get those up.


Again, Thanks to Everyone that has made this site what it is and what it can be,

Sincerely,


John Redmond
