Guilty as charged but at least I acknowledge it. Its in my name... Fish the North River, South Shore area mostly. Been on this board since near the beginning. Learned far more than I could ever contribute. Thanks to all. (Did I win yet?)

I'm here Just started surf casting this past summer as a way to spend some quality Dad time with my son. Another member whose name says it all. I've got a lot to learn still, but I've learned a lot here already. Skunked last year partially due to not being able to put in the time, and partially because I'm clueless

Hopefully this spring I'll be a little wiser and get the boy into some schoolies early to keep him interested. We spent most of our fishing time on PI last year and I'm starting to know the layout a bit better. Maybe I'll find some fish soon

I'm lucky if I can find the water...

Hi John and all the S-B.Com Members ,,,

I have been a member here since the spring of "2005" and have been logging on everyday since.. I havn't been too active of a member I guess
since I am a little ways from your core member base here around the New England area.. But I really like the quality of fishing related
talk from some of the best surfcasters and plug makers along the entire Atlantic Coast IMO...

About myself >
Born and raised in Philly,grew up fishing the sweetwater around my hometown of the Fairmont Park area..Moved to New Jersey back in "1983" and have been fishing the surf,jettys and backbays of Central & Southern Jersey since..
I have been a active member of numerous online fishing communities
in NJ since "2000" ,helping out my fellow fishermen and moderating many different fishing forums and still do today and love every minute of it...
And I hope to become more involved here aswell this year....

I have met in person or through the internet some of you from my latest passion of custom plug fishing,, always been a artficial guy but some of the plugs you guys are making today are just awesome and I spend alot of time throwing wood these days...
So I want to say "Thanks" to the likes of John (Habs), Mike (Tattoo) Ryan Smith, Dave (MAC) and Eben for hooking me up with some of your lures, and also Joe Lyons (SRI), Pete (SWE) aswell...

Happy New Year To Everyone And Good Luck Out On The Water In "2007"

Guilty as charged, m'lud.

(please forgive the slight bit of Brit humor, such as it is.... )

Very much a (determined) learner, with only a few year's experience following the striped siren, but definitely addicted to surfcasting SoCo RI (at least, as much as possible with a very understanding wife and two small daughters......). Landed up to a 20 lber from the suds in 2006, and previously I have made the aquaintance of a 40 lb cow off the Block, too.

Through this forum and the clubs I have been meeting the characters and getting faces to names (Hi JohnR, Woody et al!).

As to the charge of lurking per se, I have been trying to speak when I have something that I can add - but I've only got a fraction of the experience of a lot of the posters here. And yes, I have been posting even without the lure of the lures!!

Still, all the best to one and all, and April seems a looong way off at the moment........

Hi all,

Fairly new to the site, so have been lurking for the most part. I'm a fly and kayak fisherman on the North Shore, and am counting the days until I can wet the lines again. Tying flies and repairing rods/reels only gets you so far!

John that is my father on his P-47 he flew in WW2 in Europe. We also have a short film clip from his wing camera on one of his missions. It took my brothers and me a long time to figure out the nose art. Yeah right.

New to this site. Live in New Jersey. Post on a few other sites more local to my area. I enjoy all types of fishing. Spend the spring flyfishing for trout and plugging for stripers and blues. The summer drifting for fluke and the fall chasing stripers. The winter is reserved for a few party boat bottom fishing trips and steelhead on the Salmon River. I have fished in Chatham on the cape but was looking around for a place in New England to do a striper trip this june. Any recommendations?

I'm a worker lurker. I've wasted hundreds of company hours sifting through stuff on this and other sites. It can be a bit tough to post because everyone in the office can see my screen. I think someones looking now!... gotta go!

Thanks for the welcome. A friend was talking about a 5# striper thinking it was good sized. Its OK for a local lake fish. I've been spoiled. All I can remember is line peelling off and the size of the fish we caught and my sons grin last spring. Havent gone north to look for bigger fish yet. 5-15 thru 5-21 RJinHull will put me up. till then I work and plan but live through you guys.

Welcome all lurkers and new guys

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
