Capt. Dave,
I knew you would fit right in with this great group of anglers…terrific post!
My name is Mike Laptew, AKA “The Diving Fisherman” and Fish_Eye @ Striper Talk. I have enjoyed chasing striped bass for more than 4 decades with a mask and snorkel, and for even longer with a rod and reel. I was born and raised in Pawtucket, RI and have been living in North Kingstown for the last 25 years. My wife Donna has put up with my diving/fishing antics for over 26 years and my daughter, Jennifer is a student at UCONN. My German Shepard, Sasha is my shadow and I have a few thousand pet stripers I like to play with each year.
I produce fishing videos that are geared towards obsessive/compulsive anglers (and there are just a few on this site) whether they’re seasoned pros or newcomers to the sport. I have been fortunate enough to travel the globe in my quest to document different fish behavior. The more I travel, the more I learn to respect the fantastic resource we all have at our doorsteps…that’s why I try to protect and preserve our fragile marine environment through active support of Save The Bay and the Recreational Fishing Alliance.
I am all ears to any suggestions on how to improve my video productions and always anxious to learn new tips and techniques for catching fish…that’s why you’ll find me on this board.
Welcome to all the new members!
Mike
