Capt. Dave, it's nice to make your aquantinence.
The name is Bruce or you can call me by my board name slipknot. That's not after the knots I tie but after a song by the Grateful Dead, since I was a deadhead before I started surf fishing. I always fresh water fished for LM bass and trout but about 8-9 years ago I started going after stripers and blues and it's been about 5 years since I've trout fished. I am a cabinetmaker looking for a less physical career so I can spend more time abusing my body surfcasting for stripers instead. I am married with 2 kids. I have been enjoying plug making recently but I'm not sure it is saving me any money from buying plugs, since the supplies and stuff costs so much, but it's fun. I mostly fish the Cape Cod Canal since it is about 20 min. from my home in Middleboro, MA. But I will fish the beaches of the cape and sometimes RI. I have met and fished with a ton of excellant people from this site, I even run into them at fishing shows sometimes. I have learned alot from the site also. I used to have a hole in the water that I poured money into but it's gone now thankfully.
I hope to fish a few new places each year to broaden my horizons. But I really love to jig the Ditch.
