in all seriousness, you can learn a little more about me in this video (I'm a star :hihi: ):

I guess I should be serious......for once.

My name is Kevin, I'm an IT/Network Admin...(also known as a handy excuse for why somebody didn't get there work done) for a company in Salem MA. I have two Rugra...er Kids 1 Boy and 1 Girl. I am a product of the Lynn Public School System (explains a lot) but have since escaped.

I've been fishing since i was a kid but only got into chasing the striped ones about 5 years ago....been on the board for about 4 years now. Not only have I picked up the Striper addiction but I also picked up the plug making addiction. I have learned a TON from the people on this board and have also met a lot of great guys through it. There were 2 peices of advice given me here that are probably the most important....Get Involved in a Club and come to the Events, I've done both and you would be amazed at the great people you meet.

My name is Don, I grew up in Waltham but was l#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g enough to escape to Littleton back in 1991. Married, 3 boys, 4, 7 and 11 ( counting my lucky stars! ). I am head of engineering for a company that makes precision tooling used to assemble printed circuit boards. I have been passionate about all types of fishing and hunting since I can remember which I now enjoy sharing with my boys. I keep a boat in Fairhaven and fish mainly around the Vineyard and Nomans. Hi to all this is a great site.
By the way -- boat fish do count !

My name's Tom, grew up and live in Weymouth. Married with children. I maintain telephone cables in manholes in Boston. Just bought my first boat this spring, a 23' 1972 Chris Craft Lancer w/ a 350cc inboard. I live about an 8 iron away from the ramp in Weymouth, so thats where I launch from, until I get a mooring put in, that is.

Now that I own a boat, I hope to frequent this place more often. What a resource! Thanks!

Hi Frank here, I am a therapist. Mostly one on one, but sometimes groups. More money in groups, no doubt, but getting people to open up in front of others is extremely difficult and time consuming, but hey thats where the money is, time, in my line.

Been fishing since I was a little kid on Muddy Pond in Eastham. I can't remember when I started salt water fishing. Enjoyed Eastham and all it had to offer when I was a kid.

Started in on S-B.com after Bill and Jul's told me about fellow club member (MSBA), and former Massachusetts resident, JR, starting his own web site. I have only insulted (and apologized) a couple of people here and find some of the friendships I have made here to have been very rewarding. But then again I have never met anyone I didn't like, truly.

My name is Ronnie.
I'm an Oakland Raiders fan !
I hate the Pats !
I have to drive by their F***ing stadium on a daily basis :wall:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:: rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::bshake:

Thats the three time world champion Pats!

Although it may not always seem like it I try and put God and the Christian life first,not alwasy easy.
I fish the surf a little in the spring and fall, out of a boat the rest of the time.
I try and target bottem fish too.
I respect women who like it natural and I feel the same way about bass whatever that means.
I love the other half of the earth up in a tree with a bow or gun.
I hate people who are negative or complainers. I've lost fish & time because of people like that.
Some times getting away from the computer is the best thing for you, you fish more you catch more you spend more time with family, some of you oughta try it some time.

P.S. don't sweat it Ronnie, I say 1 1/2 and Vic will be on your gang.

OOOOOHHH...That's gotta hurt..:hee:

I'd move to Oakland...:as:

no worries
 

the Oakland raiders will never make it to a super Bowl. :jump:

Hi Im Mike from RI 34 no kids , work as deskside computer tech in a cubicle world in Raynham, hate computers, love guitars, been lurking on this site for like 4 yrs,been striper fishing the same amount of time, fish Rhody 2-4 nights a week

Otay I will play, My name is Chris and currently President of MSBA. I surfcast and kayak fish. I work for "a" phone company, actually I just show up everyday and surf the web. Not sure how long I have been here at S-B, but I do know I have meet some great friends because of it, just too many to list. I have had the privilege to fish with many members and each and everyone has taught me something that i apply to my fishing. S-B has made me a better surfcaster, and i am grateful to be a part of it. Someday I hope to be able to give back at least half of what I have learned.
Thanks John R...

Hi, I'm John and I retired last Friday from 37 years in the H.V.A.C field, local 28 N.Y.C. I'll tell ya, you guys have the best group of members that I've come across on the net. I check in all the time but don't post as much as I should. I just bought a new slide-on camper (Host Yellowstone) and I'll be spending more time at Montauk then at home. Life is good. 62 years old and life is just starting.

Hi my name is Bill. It has been 3 weeks since my last fix.
I live, physically, in Mansfield MA, but mentally stay sane by reading all the fishing activity others share on this board. I have a family who does not crave to fish so with balancing work and family time my fishing hours have been steadily declining for the last 10 years.
My 10 year old keeps us focussed on other non-fishing activities

I have been in IT for 30 years, currently managing QA for a global IT organization in Lexington MA.
I have a 2090 maritime with a T - Top and a Johnson 90 elp that when not on the trailer beside my garage can be seen somewhere around Westport MA.

My name is John and I have been fishing since I was 3 years old (almost 34 years). I live in Easton and am fortunate to have a wife and young son who both like to fish. Unfortunatley, my wife only likes to fish for about an hour at a time and only on boats and my son is too young to have the attention span for "real" fishing. I used to fish from shore and boat, but am now mostly shorebound after selling the boat this spring. I've been a member on this site for a long time, but was not very active until recently. It's great having a job that allows a lot of time on the net. Lots of great information and always some funny stuff here. I hope to meet some of the SB community out on the beaches during the fall run. Good luck to everyone.

If I sold the boat I would require much more medication

Tony here in beautiful Staten Island NY. No not really. I am a Chef for a living and have been fishing since I was a kid. I fish the beach and sometimes a small boat up on the Cape. I am a single parent and just got my oldest son in college the younger brother is still home with me. I do try to get up north to the Cape twice a year and fish with my lifelong bud. Looking forward to a better fall than last and I'm ready for anything.

:smash:
"Never" Has happened 5 times
3 wins
2 loss

Just not this century!:hihi:

Jan. 26th 2003
I'm pretty sure that was this century.:huh:

I meant to win the ring!:tooth: That was what....20 years ago?:laugha:

Going on 25 years :hidin:
But the quote read ' The Raiders will never MAKE it to a super bowl"

Hmmmm......Just like the Pats.

it will be 4-2 after this year though :kewl:

Neva rooted for the Raiders, but loved to watch them play, back when-

Davidson, Tatum," sticky" Belitnikoff, Alzado,"Snake" Stabler , and Madden coached. :devil:

Would of loved to see Rice playing for them at that time. :hihi:

What ever happened to stickum anyway? outlawed. :huh: :tooth:

Hi my name is Barry, I gew up fresh water fishing, and have been salt water fishing for about 10 years. I haved learned alot from people on the SB site, and also MSBA. It has been fun to go to some of the SB Outings and fish with people from the site. I usually fish from shore, but this year I finally got a kayak.

The name is Pat. I'm 18. Ive grown up in Western Ct, and I fish there 4-6 nights a week from March 15th to December 15th. I only fish from the surf. I plug. I belong to a small group of harcore surf andlers in my local area who are what you could call "young guns". There are very few serious pluggers where I fish, so it makes it difficult to get information, we end up putting in alot of time for our fish. This is only my third full surf season, Ive been doing fresh water since I was little. I'm the only one in the house that fishes, my father accually hates it, so I'm on my own except for a few good friends. Thats it.

Pete here
Born in Brooklyn, grew up on Lawn Guyland, transplanted to VT 35 years ago.
Fished since I was one I'd bet. Rediscovered saltwater about ten years ago due to boredom on the family vacation to Hades (AKA Wells, ME) bought a saltwater flyrod and flyfished for stripers and blues for a few years until I wanted to cast further. Realized I'd end up spending at least 500 for a twohanded rod, reel and lines and bought a fairly inexpensive surf rod and reel. :doh:
That worked for a while but now I have four setups and hundreds of plugs, oh yeah I make plugs too. :whackin:
What I really want is a chopper so I can be on the rocks in a couple of hours.
I really don't want to see a saltwater license, since I usually fish ME, NH, MA, RI and NY each year.

Im jim . I cut my teeth on Cape Cod. I grew up in the MARINE CORPS,as their corpman. I'm currently a emergency trauma nurse in the rowdy hills of appalachia. I live in the easterm most part of Kentucky but work in West by God Virginia. My main hobby is outdoorsmanship. Im a rairity in these parts as a surfcaster. Hope to meet ya'all at" the RACE."

Hi, I’m Ron (RJinHull)

Have lived in Hull Massachusetts and have fished for strippers for 11 years
moved here from AZ (wife wanted to come home and I couldn’t afford the child support :) )
have 2 girls my pride and joy but neither one likes to fish…
have been fishing for as long as I can remember still have a lot to learn….
Am always looking for a fishing partner to learn from ……
Have a 23’ boat that sets to much.. I need to put more hours on it
But work gets in the way

I've fished for them, too. I find that singles are good bait, but you'll have even more luck if you use 5's and 10's. Unlike bass, use larger bait for smaller strippers.

#6 thought the new boss(the wife) was going to be more understanding:rotf2:

just having fun with ya little bro. call ya later

Hi, my name's John.
Used to fish alot when I was younger, but hadn't gone at all for almost 15 years.
Just got a boat last year and started fishing again this year.
Caught alot of blues but only 1 Striper and that was luck - hooked it on a Rapala while trolling for blues.
Been lurking here for a while trying to learn all I can about striper fishing. Glad to have found you guys so I can learn!
