The place/ epicenter, & time of the greatest surf- fishing for Stripers that I've ever yet experienced! :humpty: :smokin:

I just lovetofish but had to use (two) and that is all i could think of at the time works for me.

Mine is a college nickname from one of my best friends (~ 1983). Use to act crazy in my youth -> all I needed was oxygen and clean living. :D Funny part is I can't drink alcohol - it makes me sick. :( I am always the designated drive. :)

Look out when the MOON is full ! LOL

While fishing over the Vineyard and bringing my son starting while he was around 14,He was the one that could catch many squid by the docks,,therefore Squid kids Dad..

I surf fish in rhode island every weekend so it risurffish

Im addicted to fishing so much I call in sick at work just to go. And it seems like when I leave early or come in late I catch better sized fish.
6-8 sometimes 12 hours a night at 3-5x a week still isnt enough time to fish.

"Spin" is part of my last name and I have been careful about posting my identity online so I am incognito.

Kids in the old neighborhood called me Lurch because I am 6'6'' and 310lbs :shocked:.......265lbs at the time the nickname was given.

Name comes from when I was in high school. I was always the quiet one hanging around and kinda grew on people. Been called that for so long my mom even calls me that to this day.

I am lover surfacsting and a amateur radio operator, Wa1vno

Slingah cuz I like to sling eels....and we don't pronounce our RRRR's here in Massachusetts...

For livelining.

Because I like to fish near the 2 nun on Slocums ledge and the one on Hens and Chickens the one near Sqiubnocket isn't bad either

These guys I used to hang around with about 25-30 years ago now put in a sand volleyball court in their backyard.We would drink and play volleyball.It was great.I'm only 5'8" or maybe 5'9" tall but I could jump really well back then and so they started calling me Slammer.To this day that's my name around Falmouth and Mashpee.I think some people don't even know my name is Dave.And yes,Slingah,it comes out more like Slammah.

gone fishin because that is the answer most people get when they ask where I am. especially since I semi retired.:uhuh:

Belong to the Professional Bowler Assoc. Have 4 kids

Having a British accent and regularly going out on charters for striped bass with the same bunch of locals in SoCo RI..........:D

I have been fishing down the river since 1955 at age 5 and hence comes my name "Riverrat"!!!

I am glad to see this is turning into a good post :-D

My preference is to fish big wooden lures, but if they want eels they'll get 'em ;)

this was my first dogs name

My IQ is 4

Tagger <---- building and subway car tagger,, aka rattle can eddy..

I'm always on the hunt for bass, use to be strictly freshwater until a couple friends talked me into the saltwater. I'll take any fish cuz' I love the fight, but prefer bass

Many moons ago I signed on to ebay, that day I had been talking to a friend about fishercats and picked it as my screen name. It was already taken and the program suggested bluefishercat. I had'nt surfished in many years and picked it not thinking of the possible alliance with the yellow eyed devils.

I must have been watching a Stallone movie when I signed up :hihi:

Chief Linesider

I am 20% native american

My last name

I used to be a plumber.Guy's down at Watch Hill called me "joe the plumber"as did my customers when I was in buisness.

When I originally started checking out striped-bass sites right after John started this one, I was trying to come up with my screen name. One of the names of a guy who was (and I suspect still is) a successful fisherman who posted a fair bit, mostly on another site, was CowHunter. Since I was always looking for the next blitz, I changed Cow to Blitz and Hunter to Seeker and that was it.

Come to find later on that BigFish liked it...but in reality I kind of stole the idea to start with!

I'm a retired carpenter with sore thumbs!! :smash:

Got the handle almost 40 years ago, I was on a job running a 988 at the time that thing was a monster.
One of the guys started calling me bigcat, and the name stuck :)

Self explanatory.

Really couldn't think of anything else.

19 years working for my local Township on a Trash truck here in South Jersey

im a 100% armenian and proud.

speak, eat, and attend armenian events. :humpty:



hye=armenian

so hyefisherman means armenian fisherman

...and 2 is my basketball number.

Same here.Though I never did learn to speak the language well.

Did you do the St.Vart's bazaar at Rhodes?

Really miss the Near East market on Resevoir Ave.There's another market in the area but can't think of the name of it or where its at.

Can't quite remember why I picked it,....oh, yeah, my last name.

:eek5:

Got the nickname after a wild bar fight in college. My friends said I waded into it like John Wayne...the original "Duke". 41 was how old I was when I joined the site. I am 46 now. yikes!!

Sherlock Holmes arch enemy. Gym teacher in Jr. High started it and it stuck, plus it makes me sound smart.

Same here.Though I never did learn to speak the language well.

I've a cousin up in Worcester.Talked to him for the 1st time in a couple of years on Thanksgiving.

While fishing over the Vineyard and bringing my son starting while he was around 14,He was the one that could catch many squid by the docks,,therefore Squid kids Dad..


I thought it was from the Kids cartoon show Rocket power:bsod:

Mine.....Hook size,(Gamakatsu 5/0 live bait heavy duty) for eels.

5/0

Grew up fishing on the back beaches of Cape Cod. I rarely, if ever, fish out there any more though. Been thinking of changing my screen name to Rock Head.

Tynan = Son's name, 19 favorite number.

dont keep a striper under 36"

Bernzy: It's a nickname I've had since high school :smokin: :angel:

I couldn't figure out how to register as a member, so I asked my brother to do it for me. Rappin Mikey was the name he registered me with because I grabbed the microphone and started rappin at my first TFCTFN.:buds:

A nickname a fishing buddy gave me when all I was "reaping" was "keepers" for a week straight. If it was 2 weeks later my name would have been "ISUK@FISHIN" since I went on the schnide for a few weeks and couldnt buy a keeper.

I got a reputation for pushing hard to gain an upper hand under the cover of darkness during previous lives in service and racing boats off shore. Dawn always promised to reveal the damage we had done while others slept, or let up. Hence the name. Of course, my night vision is not nearly what it once was.....nor is the amount of time I now spend fishing at night...

Getting dunked and falling off of boats is why!:uhuh:

:think: Where you'll find me. :eyes: :smokin:

I'm a kid from Cape Cod.:wave:

because my name is Bill and I fish in Mass.

Saltheart is the name of a character in the book series titled The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Saltheart was a giant , named that because he had great love for the Sea.

30+ years on the Ditch, many have tried to take on the name but I'm the first!:happy:

no comment. i think a friend signed me up one night when we were wasted. :biglaugh: too lazy to change the name.

Iceman b/c I also play hockey and 6 is my lucky number. Used to be just Iceman 6 until Specialist had to add THE Specialist to his handle so I had to add The Iceman6 to mine. He just couldn't be called Specialist....

Ice

I target Big Bass, (which I personally consider anything over 40 lbs to be), whether i am ne good at it is a whole nother story!

I grew up in Newton Mass. in a section they called the lake , I got hung with a nick name of moosh , becouse thats what all the little Italians used to call each other, Its slang for Buddy ...

nickname + not sure where number came from.

because i fish in rhode island. i live line shad and scup and fish plugs and sling eels too, but i like to fly fish the best, so rhodyflyguy.

first and last name......
Hey Moosh...lets meet over at salvi's down the lake

first and last name. i live (if it can be called that.) in arizona.....

I fell out of a boat when I got attacked by goose with her babies.:doh:

Don't know where the _777 came about.I originally joined these forums under the name skunkmaster,during a long skunking session.Didn't like the name so junked it for my own.

I fell out of a boat when I got attacked by goose with her babies.:doh: I had a swan attack me from behind while lmb fishing in my small boat. I cranked up the trolling motor and grabbed an oar to hold off the swan,not paying attention to where the boat was headed:spin: I crashed the shore full steam ahead,flipped over the bow and landed in some pretty nasty mud.:sick: As for my screen name,i'm a water watcher.

I've fished the Cape's backbeach ever since I was old enough to ride my bike across the Cape, 2.4 miles where I am. And Jake is the traditional nickname for my surname.

Ahhh! Some Mooshes! Not from the Lake but I did loose a significant portion of my youth at Wallabys, Cindys Place, and Smaxies II shotting darts with some Mooshes

Just a nickname from many moons ago.Chief was taken...so I went with chief10

Funny,
I have a very good friend from Waltham, "Johnny C" who sounds just like this JC.
Rick

Teasing is my personality. I teased my brother while we were growing up. Now my wife gets it along with my kids. It fit well as a boat name and call name on the radio. It also become the name of my business. I spell it wrong because I am a former math teacher who can't speelll.:spin::rotfl::spin:

Because I enjoy bringing the fish-eye view to folks.

For those of you who aren't divers, I try to offer you a window into the underwater realm of game fish...with an angler's interest in mind.

Now I'm doing it in Hi-Def!

A day or so before I joined this site my son was helping me clean out the truck from a recent CC fishing trip. His job was to vacuum the sand out of the vehicle. While he was vacuuming, I heard him say, they should call you the "sandman".

Previous title I had at work and what my wife said about me once when I was looking for a user name. Now work at the nut house too. Go figure.

When I first started lurking the forum, I always liked the names of the others, Basswipe,Sandman,Timberslingah,etc... I originally wanted to use FishPuke ...but came up with the above instead !

My knots slip






seriously, I am a fan of the Grateful Dead and I just used the name of a song.

jim is my first name,,,,and fisherman is what we all are

The first time I signed up for a fishing board, my name "Ty"was taken, so this was the best I could do in 5 minutes of thinking. It's not a nickname or anything like that.

College nickname. Put a kid through a wall at a party, somebody yelled Bronko Nagurski.... the rest is history:smokin:

Flaptail= A classic striper plug and we all know how I feel about plugs, but on the weekends I go by Yvonne

RIRockhound.
I'm from RI.
I'm a geologist.
It was a nickname when I took a summer geology class in Virginia....

Also,
Steve Buschemi's character in "Armageddon" was a geologist and they called him "Rockhound"

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

no comment. i think a friend signed me up one night when we were wasted. :biglaugh: too lazy to change the name.

i crack up everytime i see your name

me,
i was born on a hunter moon so my pops called me mrhunters or just hunters stuck for quite some time and I am not creative when it comes to handles so that is what i use.:tooth:

I've been an avid fisherman since I was a kid using old soda cans and cheap mono. That and my name is Tim

Well my original screen name was not available... someone who rarely posts has it i guess, so, the next closest thing was rockfish9, rockfish being obvious... the 9 is for my german hertage, the 9.. meaining nein... as in No.. I will not tell you where I'm fishing...

Scheiße I wünschen deine Punkte

Marsh is short for the town I live in and Cappa has been my nickname for as long as i can remember.

I found this name some many years ago and it stuck . I was also in 1983

Hmmmmm... not a clue.:biglaugh:http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/attachment.php?attachmentid=24636&stc=1&d=1196098118

it was the name of the river patrol boat in the movie apocalypse now- i liked it and figurred if i ever got a boat thats what i'd name it.

The name of my boat, and the the way my financial situation usually is

I caught my first bass on MV. When I joined I wanted to use a vineyard name and I always like the name squibnocket as well as it's nickname squibby. I have caught a few fish around there too:tooth: 17 was my number in Soccer and Lacrosse in highschool

Because the only way to eat a blue is to smoke it for 5-6 hours, and blues seem to be what I catch most.

Because I target large and practice catch and release.

My last name is Hayes so that turned into Hazey in high school. I was born in 84.


-Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum......against the fish, lol-

Nothing's hard to find in New Orleans. That's taken at Uglesich's restaurant. Opened at 10AM and closed at 3PM. Served one meal a day and that's all they needed to serve. Great place and best oysters on the planet. I miss that place.

Chris your so funny, I just spit food all over my laptop
LOFL


but I was in 1983 just dont remember much .

My beach name is pony tail Mike

I play guitar and I'm a fan of Blues music. Fishin' Blues is a song by Taj Mahal (a Mass. native, btw).

Blue fish give it a double meaning, which is cool.

golden bear is my college mascot. 93 is the year I graduated.

mek - my initials, cotuit - my happy place:wave:

Years ago when they dropped striped bass from the derby,well all sang the Vineyardblues!
Not really, just because I vacation and lived on the vineyard.I bought the domain name right after Al Gore invented the internet thinking I would sell it for millions...lol :rotflmao:
I have about 20 of them all worthless.:bl:
VB

I am Raven because i like Crows because they are super smart and crafty
and because i can call them since i was a kid

it has absolutely nothing to do with
edgar Allen Poe ...the dark side of horror graveyards

or anything creepy... i cant stand horror flicks at all...

i'd rather watch the discovery channel or charlie moore before that crap

even my email addy is ravenob1

ob1 means the "one from O.B."
or ocean beach in Sandiego where i once lived and is my identifier to
seperate me from all the hundreds of other ravens out there

and i'm @wild blue dot net by the way

on my S-B sticker on my car i have raven in the middle
on a label... should you see me

This thread is great....

Me and the Kids used to watch Charlie Moore and when My son noticed he was called "The Mad Fisherman" he looked at me and said "That must make you The Dad Fisherman" He laughed,my daughter laughed and it just stuck.

after fishing on the vineyard for a while and starting to pull in some nice bass, my uncle nicknamed me gunpowder because i was really slammin the bass. the got nervous that i might beat the bass he has mounted on his wall so he thought i was on an explosive run to beat him and hence got the name. the name stuck and now all he calls me is GP.

What can I say? It's a crossover to my other love - the LINKS!

I found this name some many years ago and it stuck . I was also in 1993

I fish at NIGHT and always anticipating those STRIKES on my lure.....:)

What? You figure it out, I can't. Get to know me and you'll know why.
Some say I'm the fine speck of dust between ape & man:walk:
ML

it is what i do too much of the time...

I'm pretty good at falling down and breaking stuff...... Its a gift:)

The night I registered here on S-B I had just seen the re-run of the "Assman" episode of Seinfeld.

Live in Rhode Island and used to be competative in IBO Archery.

Nickname, I got in college when I played lacrosse.

my sn also has multiple meanings. Originally a reference to
" Blues" music. Sister plays Bass guitar, ex brother in law was
front man and harp player. We also had a softball team
called the Bedford Blues back when i could still run.

I have a wife, two daughters, two female dogs, I work with along side two female supervisors, my immediate boss is female, I have a sister and no brothers, and our two cats are female.

Luckily the wife and daughters love fishing.

Taj used to sing for my uncle's first band at Umass in '61, called the Electras.
Actually he used to hang out with the band in the house that Rappin Mikey is currently renovating.
I was also in 1983...luckilly for me, hadn't started to drink yet.
Johnny Ducketts, that name sounds awful familliar...where'd you go to school??? Got lots of childhood friends from DY and later Garber's Gorillas.
Wow, this thing just keeps getting better.
Later,
Rick

Oh yeah, hey Tuna,
Always thought it was Provinceton Truro Mike (my bad). Funny what you interpret the handles on here to mean.
One of my other favorites was the old "mountainbars" who I found out later was "mountainbreeze."
chris L has always been chris L to me, though.
Later,
Rick

5-String Bass is an instrument I used to play in a time not long ago in a universe not far away.

Now I just fish.

Slick - because I can talk my way out of a paper bag if needed. Moedee - there must have been a Cool Mo D tune playing back in HS so Slick became Slick Moedee. Stuck ever since.

My favorite plug for many years was the 5 1/2 inch Redfin...loaded of course. :skulz:

I used to think sluggos were the best... then i started using fresh sand eels.
