Hi, My real name is Joe,and I am 40 years young. I was born in New London Ct and my family is from NY. I have lived in Mass since I was 5 years old and have always love the ocean. Started fishing with my dad at a very young age. Started from shore. Use to go over the railroad tracks behind Maco Bait and catch flounder all day long.
I really got into the fishing about 10 years ago with a friend Manny, He taught me just about everything I no. He was killed in a car crash 2 years ago and he is sadly missed.
I got the name Macojoe fishing with a friend about 30 miles off sure when a maco grabed my cod on the way up, He was 6 feet long and I will never forget that as long as I live.
I mostly fish the Vinyard. There is nothing like this pace any where. You can go there and catch Fluke, Bass, Sea Bass, Scup, Tog, Banito,Blues all in the same day.
I have a Wellcraft V20 steplift. It is old but I love this boat,so much so I have just about finished converting it from an I/O to a outboard. I have a 175 Yamaha for it and will be ready May 1.
I found this site because I started building some of my own rods and was looking for some info to make it easier. I went to search typed rod building forum and here I am.
I have been Married for 22 years now I have a son 17 and a daughter 14. My daughter has applyed to the lower cape tec and wants to take up, are you ready Marine Macanhic!! So I guess you can tell who she takes after.
This is a great site and I am glad I found it. I would like to get my six pac and do some guiding. But we will see what happens. I fish Commercial for the Bass and The fluke. I don't make much. I am more interested in the fun but I have to suport this habit a little
Well Thats it.Pretty boring stuff.
Later Macojoe
