Hi,
My name is Eric. I found this site through a friend at work. This friend happened to be the founder.

In my real life I am a principal of a middle school. This has cut deep into my second job as a light tackle charter captain. I used to be a math teacher with summers off.

I got into the fishing thing sort of backwards. I started out flyfishing. I now rely on friends to teach me the "dark" side of fishing. Eeling & livelining. I have been called Darth Vader this year. I like it.

I tie flies, build rod, and recently begun to build plugs. I enjoy the challenge of figuring these things out.

I run a mako 192 cc.

Hi, my name is John and I founded S-B in 99 or so to be an online community for Striper and Fishing Finatics. I live in Rhody, fish for stripers from the surf when I can, do IT stuff for real work.

My son, now 6, loves to fish - infact, I think we'll go fishing in a little while

I've had a lot of great help and support for launching S-B & keeping it going - so thanks!

LET ME OUT OF HERE

My name is Tyson, I'm 26 and do graphic design/Advertising for a living.

I've been fishing as long as I can remember. I grew up on the south shore and was lucky to have a great dad that always took me out fishing. My parents owned a house on the vineyard till I was 10 and they divorced and the house was sold. I still get out there at least a few times a year and always during the derby.

I recently moved to the north shore from Boston and couldn't be happier to go fishing in back of my place and mountain bike across the street. I have a 17ft whaler that I don't use nearly enough. I still prefer catching from shore. I'm not good enough to be a plug snob i generally roll 50/50 bait/plugs.

Hi, I'm Jim. I've been on S-B since April 2005. Not too much into the postings, but I like to read and learn. I was turned on to S-B by a long-time friend Chris L (MSBA President).

I do the website for the MSBA and am the one annoying people at every meeting taking their picture!!!

I have freshwater fished for as long as I can remember and it is still my passion. Stripers were always a second thought until a couple of years ago and now I'm hooked.

I've met a ton of cool, knowledgeable people through this site and through the MSBA. John R has helped me out on a couple of occasions, on the web, on the beach and through emails. He is one of the best guys out there!

Great website and I'm glad to be a part of it!!!
