Hi, My name is Chet and I'm a Fishaholic. I caught my first bass when I was 5 years old on a hand line and have chased em ever since. I went to work for "Coot" Hall on Cuttyhunk when I was 12 and have run charters out of there and New Bedford ever since, except for the time 1986 to 2000, when we lived in Vermont!
We have three grown daughters and eight grand kids and one great grand kid, two cats and one Golden Retriever.
The Nor-Easter, our present boat is a 30 Ft. Crosby Hawk that takes us to where ever we want to go, when ever we want to go and gets us back.
The best bass I ever caught personally was 61 1/2 lbs and have caught 4 others over 60 for other persons.
I grew up in the Hey Day of Striped Bass Fishing at Cuttyhunk and have a book almost ready to go to the printers about the Guides and the Fish from the 50's to the 80's.
I know a few of the folks on this board and look forward to meeting more of you as time goes by.
We run the Nor-Easter as a freight and passenger vessel from New Bedford to Marthas Vineyard and the Elizabeths and also run charters for Striped Bass.
I like to fish in the "old style" with Eel Skins and Plugs and wire in the Rips and lead line and Eel Skins along the shore.
Glad to help in the widening knowledge of the Sport of Striped Bassing.
