Greetings S-Bers,

As members of Striped-Bass.com, let us all vow, here and now, to greet all anglers -- whether they're dunking bait, surfcasting, boating, with or without a pile of keepers next to them -- with the ubiquitous: "Any luck?"

It'll be like our secret handshake.

See a guy fighting a fish? Ask him: "Any luck?"
See a guy lipping a moby? Ask him: "Amy luck?"
See a guy empty handed, snapping his Lamiglas over his knee? Definitely ask him: "Any luck?"

I take the oath! So, I ask you, any luck?

Don't want to be asked that? Too bad. Get ready to be asked the same thing a few hundred times by a bunch of loopy fishermen.
