My name is Bob, or GS depending on the event

. Married for 22 years, 3 boys; 1 sorta grown up

, 1 thinks he's grown up

and one who seems to has a clue. I've been fishing since I was a kid and always had a tie to the ocean; my true love. In Jr/Sr High School I'd spend some time fishing the local ponds and streams, but I spent almost every free moment (weather permitting) out on my trapeeze on my International 110. It's a 24 foot long 4 foot wide banana with a 300lb keel, planning hull, goes like a bastard, oversized surf board, damn fun boat to sail kind of thing. So much so I even refurbished a second one after getting married and had fun with that for a few years. Then I bought me a Tracker V-17 and started fishing seriously. First at the freshwater club and federation in tournament level with some success, but I always had my hand into stripers around my hometown of Scituate Mass.

After 5 years I decided the tournaments were cutting into my striper fishing and put all my free time into my striped bass and bluefish fishing. Got involved with pouring my own plastics a long, long time ago to save costs on the fishing and also to design my own baits. As most regulars here know, I've gone commercial with my baits and have a full range of striper baits from 4 inch jerkbaits, up to 13" monsters. From straight jerks, to swim baits and curly tail grubs. There is enough cross over to appeal to everything from crappie to tuna. Click the link on the home page if your interested in taking a look, many good articles on my site as well, along with some unique rigging and presentation methods.

Took the trophy hunting seriously for a number of years. Got a 52 & 55 lb striper, a 9-2 largemouth, 6-2 smallie, 6-5 pickeral, 13 bonefish and some others, but I really fish for fun and action now. I'm long since given up the all night cow fishing, although you might still find me out there under the cover of darkness. I like passing on my knowledge to others and really enjoy getting out fishing with some of my new S-B friends.

Ok I'm rambling, tight lines.
