well driving all the way to lake mead 200+ miles up highway 93
to catch some striped bass is a long haul im sure....
but it's not so bad if you and some friends split the gas and go as a group.

or you could all chip in and rent a house boat on lake powell too
then you could tell us how some east coast plugs did in your lakes.
there is some huge stripers in lake powell. :uhuh:

ahoy welcome aboard !!

Okay,

You got me,too! I've been lurking here for awhile. I've been surf fishing for about 8 years. I've learned a lot from just hanging around this site and I don't fish enough to feel comfortable as a contributor, but maybe that'll change!

Reeling in the Lurkers one by one...funny...strange feeling to be hooked, its not so bad on the other end of the line after all...

it's all about the bait !!:kewl: :kewl: :kewl:

your screen name + 8

I am lurking!
 

Hello, new to this site as of today. A little about myself, fishing for the past 39 years, love fly as well as surfcasting, love making some of my own tackle (rods, flies, bucktails), looking to expand the use of my kayak.

Ummm, can I delete my huge first post and start all over again:o ?

I'm a worker lurker. I've wasted hundreds of company hours sifting through stuff on this and other sites. It can be a bit tough to post because everyone in the office can see my screen. I think someones looking now!... gotta go!

hi Guys :wavey:
a great big welcome to S-B

it's more than a fishin Site...... its a place we call home

Come when your real happy ,grumpy,sad or mad....
it's a great community....have fun... and relax...:cheers:

Thanks for the welcome. A friend was talking about a 5# striper thinking it was good sized. Its OK for a local lake fish. I've been spoiled. All I can remember is line peelling off and the size of the fish we caught and my sons grin last spring. Havent gone north to look for bigger fish yet. 5-15 thru 5-21 RJinHull will put me up. till then I work and plan but live through you guys.

Well, here it is #1. I've been lurking for quite some time so it's about time I become active.

Kevin

Slow pick today...

Hi all,

Fairly new to the site, so have been lurking for the most part. I'm a fly and kayak fisherman on the North Shore, and am counting the days until I can wet the lines again. Tying flies and repairing rods/reels only gets you so far!

Welcome to S-B :btu:

I will come out with something for this weekend to "award" lurker incentives :hee:

Hey SkyKing - what pic is that in your avatar?

:err: My name is SlingBlades and I am a lurker....Whew, I feel better now. :wave:

New to chasing the stripers in the salt. Been fishing all my life, mostly LMB and some freshy stripers. Got back into saltwater after a hiatus of about 5 years. Love it again. Was referenced to the site by Thumb-burner, who says it is great for advice on plug building.

Born in NC and lived there all my life. Hope to see some of you at the OBX. Thanks.

hey Slingblades
 

welcome to S-B...:btu:

thought them freshies were getting up to 40 lbs down there..:spin:

[QUOTE=Hey SkyKing - what pic is that in your avatar?[/QUOTE]

I think that a/c was flown by Lt. Carl Hayes, of Binghamton, NY. 61st fighter squad...P-47D...I might be wrong....but then again.....

Good eye. I couldn't make out an A/C porky enough at that angle...

Good Google: But in the case of this picture it was or that was a different aircraft...

Thanks Raven
 

Some good freshy fishing isn't too far from where I live, but to get the biguns you need to go out of state. Have a friend who goes (to TN) in the spring when they run in the rivers (and are heavy with eggs.) Numerous fish in the 50's with a personal best at 61.

John that is my father on his P-47 he flew in WW2 in Europe. We also have a short film clip from his wing camera on one of his missions. It took my brothers and me a long time to figure out the nose art. Yeah right.

Was it something I said:wave: I come out of lurker mode and this thread dies. This aint going to look good on my resume!

Wasn't anything you said. Maybe we have to do more to convince people that life after Lurking is jimdandy...perhaps we should start our posts by saying "Its been 15 days since I last lurked and I feel great..."

Gotta beat the lurk-addiction one day at a time...

Know how you feel. killed several threads myself so far. that said i keep trying.

Welcome all lurkers and new guys :wavey:

The only real thread killer is NIB (well, and me :wall: ) :rotf3:

I know I said I'd have something up over the weekend but I've been a bit under the weather so to speak so this weekend :musc:

Any more takers???

Lurkin' gets ya nothin, ya gots ta jump in with both feet....:kewl:

Didnt take me long to get up over a huundred posts... :wiggle:

So come all ye lurkers, join in, lots a good people here, come and join the part'e...:cheers:

give me the plugs

You give me one I'll give you one. Seems fair ah.

Hello all I am a new lurker here just trying to learn as much as possible.

I'm usually on the boards a little south of here but I take a peek at this site almost every day. :scatter: I might even take a ride up for the R.I show.
