Introduce Yourself 2002!

Hi Chris...
my name is bob, 44, happily married (most of the time) 14 years to a beautiful and understanding wife and have two beautiful daughters 10&12. the whole family likes to fish, but are not as addicted as your truly.
i have lived in westport, massachusetts all my life so far, cept for a stint in the air force in the mid 70's. Started fishing saltwater when i was nine and the first fish i caught was a 6 lb. tog off of stone bridge. i fished commercially for 12 years for red crabs and ran the boat for the last five years. we fished the edge of the continental shelf in 400 fathoms, hauling and setting traps like lobster pots only a tad larger year round. i quit fishing commercially in 92...no regrets. i currently work as a heavy duty truck mechanic, and am certified in all aspects of the job. i started my own truck refrigeration business about 2 years ago and have 2 solid accounts. i just havn't had the balls to venture out on my own yet.
as for fishing ..can't get enough of it. my primary species is striped bass. and there is nothing like sitting on a beach on a hot starry summer night and hearing your drag go off, or the tap on your eel.

so welcome to all the new people here. you are definately going to like this place!
