Neva rooted for the Raiders, but loved to watch them play, back when-

Davidson, Tatum," sticky" Belitnikoff, Alzado,"Snake" Stabler , and Madden coached.

Would of loved to see Rice playing for them at that time.

What ever happened to stickum anyway? outlawed.

Hi my name is Barry, I gew up fresh water fishing, and have been salt water fishing for about 10 years. I haved learned alot from people on the SB site, and also MSBA. It has been fun to go to some of the SB Outings and fish with people from the site. I usually fish from shore, but this year I finally got a kayak.

[Vogt]

The name is Pat. I'm 18. Ive grown up in Western Ct, and I fish there 4-6 nights a week from March 15th to December 15th. I only fish from the surf. I plug. I belong to a small group of harcore surf andlers in my local area who are what you could call "young guns". There are very few serious pluggers where I fish, so it makes it difficult to get information, we end up putting in alot of time for our fish. This is only my third full surf season, Ive been doing fresh water since I was little. I'm the only one in the house that fishes, my father accually hates it, so I'm on my own except for a few good friends. Thats it.

[Pete F.]

Pete here
Born in Brooklyn, grew up on Lawn Guyland, transplanted to VT 35 years ago.
Fished since I was one I'd bet. Rediscovered saltwater about ten years ago due to boredom on the family vacation to Hades (AKA Wells, ME) bought a saltwater flyrod and flyfished for stripers and blues for a few years until I wanted to cast further. Realized I'd end up spending at least 500 for a twohanded rod, reel and lines and bought a fairly inexpensive surf rod and reel.
That worked for a while but now I have four setups and hundreds of plugs, oh yeah I make plugs too.
What I really want is a chopper so I can be on the rocks in a couple of hours.
I really don't want to see a saltwater license, since I usually fish ME, NH, MA, RI and NY each year.

I've fished for them, too. I find that singles are good bait, but you'll have even more luck if you use 5's and 10's. Unlike bass, use larger bait for smaller strippers.

[steadagolf]

Hi, my name's John.
Used to fish alot when I was younger, but hadn't gone at all for almost 15 years.
Just got a boat last year and started fishing again this year.
Caught alot of blues but only 1 Striper and that was luck - hooked it on a Rapala while trolling for blues.
Been lurking here for a while trying to learn all I can about striper fishing. Glad to have found you guys so I can learn!

[Raven]

[steadagolf]

Thanks Raven!!

[eelman]

I have been here on and off for a litle while..I dont like anyone and not many like me(Just the way I want it), have very few friends, 0 trust, I am an overall bitter person with a paranoid personality, I know that everyone has an ulterior motive, and I am always looking for it...I do things my way , when asked a question I tell it like it is and that depends on wheather I think the question is stupid or not, I am a general trouble maker...so in closing nice to meet everyone Have a nice day

[BigFish]

[fishaholic18]

Hi, I'm Dave.
I love to fish but can live without it if need be.
I've been told I can't make decisions (Clammer), but I believe he's wrong, I just don't rush into my decisions.
I like to stir the pot a little but it's all in fun, I just go too far at times..LOL...
I suck with directions and get lost a lot..I'm fixing that with a GPS for my car..(anything to keep Clammer happy).
I have only a few friends..but they are friends for life..Most were met thru this site..(Thanx JR)
I have a great time surf fishing over the years but would much rather boat fish.
I enjoy doing things for people, sometimes too much, but that's just me......

Thats all for now..carry on..

in the words of Ed McMahon,

HI---HO!

[striprman]

Hi,
My name is Steve and I like fishing. I am an engineer, I am also disabled, blew my back out casting too much. I'm 54 and have fished most of my life. I am content to sit beside the canal, with a piece of bait attached to a 8/0 hook and watch the world go by, while waiting for a bite. I have fished for stripers for 45 years, don't go as much as I used to, but still go when God allows.
The last fish I caught was a LMB on a shiner in one of the ponds at the headwaters of the Taunton River watershed, that was about a week ago. It was about 12" (I actually caught 2 fish of equal size that afternoon).

[quick decision]

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Brand new member. For a profession, I take care of blind and low vision veterans in Long Island.

I've fished at the mouth of the Narragansett Bay for many Columbus Day weekends in October but am interested in fishing there during the Spring Bass run. Can anyone give me an idea what dates to expect
the bass to run in the Spring? Am talking about Brenton Point or Butterball rock in Newport. Any tips on bait or plugs would also be great.Thanks

Eddie - good work you do.

If this year was an indication, you had to have plugs or eels at night and pray you intercepted some of the very nice and very large bass turning the corners of the bay chasing Menhaden. Definitely a right spot / right time thing. I know, I was usually at the right spot at the wrong time...

Welcome to S-B

[fasteddie127]

Thanks for the welcome and the info.
The job can be tough and rewarding, both.

Thanks for the info. I will try to join a couple of discussions. Am looking for a couple of good days in the Spring and Fall in your neck of the woods.

[Dad 818]

My name is Bill. Was told about this site by s friend at work (who lurks more than anything). Sweetwater fished my whole life 37 years. Until I started my new job working with the Developmentally Disabled population. Which is where I met the above mentioned friend. So still an inexperienced newbie. Must say though this passion we call surfcasting is very addicting and a lot of fun. Hope to fish with you all soon.
