Hi all! My name is Eugene Chang. I'm 36, and live in Boston. I live with the love of my life, Jamie (we are happily unmarried!)who luckily shares my love for the beach and surf fishing! I grew up in PA and like Slipknot (I wondered about the name) was a big dead head growing up, going on tour as soon as I got my drivers license at 16 (that could be a whole story in itself - my travels or sometimes travails (sp?)with the dead
). While in PA, I also became an avid freshwater bass fisherman. After I graduated from college I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time fishing Lake Champlain in VT targeting mostly Northern Pike and both LM and SM Bass. I moved to Boston it seems many moons ago and just recently(past three years)got into saltwater fishing(I don't know what took so long!
). After my first striper I can honestly say, I'm hooked for life! It's pretty funny to me how a dedicated very conservation minded freshwater angler could be so completely converted to the salt! There is just something so majestic about being on the edge of the continent, rod in hand fishing for these magnificent creatures we all dream about (well the canal is pretty cool too
although I know next to nothing about it compared to most of you guys). My goal this year is to learn as much as I can to help me become a better angler and hopefully share some tidbits of mine on the way.
Eugene.
