Meet and greet:

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!

Thumbs up

Hello ,

My name is Mike. This is my 4th(maybe final) full season of surf fishing. I'm getting married next September.

I enjoy fishing from shore with plugs and eels. I try to fish at least 3 nights a week and have learned more in a few years on this site than I probably would learn in 10 if I had to do it the old fashion way.

I don't have any plans to ever purchase a Zee Baas and I'm also pretty sure boat fish don't count.

Hi my name is Jim and I'm an alcho.. sorry wrong group, my name is Jim, I've been online here @ SB.com for years. I'm married with two boys 9 and 6, both are out of snoopy push buttons and are fishing with spinning rods. Baitfishing is where it's at for me and boat fish do count, but it is sometimes hard to keep count . For work I've been in banking technology for over 10yrs.
Go Sox, Go Pats!!!

Hi my name is Bill and I've always been kind of a pacifist. When I was a kid, my father told me, "Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it." I don't know what kind of fisherman I'm gonna make, but I want you guys to know that if we ever get into really heavy current... I'll be right behind you guys. Every step of the way.

I'm steve and i've fished most of my life. I worked a a commercial fisherman in chatham for about 2 years on a gill-netter for cod, haddock and monk fish.

My last season of striped bass fishing is this one due to my move to california this september. I'll be moving to Balboa Island in Newport beach and plan to focus on sailing for a bit until I can afford a boat on the west coast.

I love this site and plan to poke my head in occasionally. I've learned allot here and met some great people!

Thanks for a great site John!

I am Joe, I have been here about 5 years, I found the site searching for Striped Bass info.

I am living in sin for 26 years and have 2 kids boy 21 girl 18 Both like to fish and Boat.

I work for the Department of Mental Health, Thats right guys they gave me the key to the funny farm!
Before that I owned J&M Cleaning for about 15 years.

I have fished on and off all my life fresh and salt, but about 15 years ago my friend got a boat and we started to fish, never getting much, then I bought my own boat and with the help of a few friends started catching Cod right away!!

I have changed boats 3 times now, and I am selling again to move up! I commercial Striper, Fluke, Sea Bass, Scup all here on Cape Cod.

Fluking has to be my most favorite fish to go after!

Meet one of my best friends here and a few others! Great place to hang with a bunch of Great guys.

Hi my name is Bob, i live in the desert. I know what water is for. One or two times a year i get to Hull Ma. to visit with my brother (rjinhull)and fish. We talk all the time as i fish VICARIOUSLY through him. I love fish porn. We talk long distance as hes fishing and im checking my sea chart to find him. I read everything on here to help me on my trips. Best trip had a mac have sex with my shoe (Does that make me a fishophile?), never washed it and kept going. big fish that year.

Hi,
My name is Mikey and I'm a rapper. I like to steal other people's fish and parade them down the beach.
OK, I discovered this site about 7 years ago while rehabbing from knee surgery in the winter. At the time there were about 40 members.
I would only talk to the Specialist, because anything else I posted would get harassing comments from the bassmaster, who now, strangely enough, is a very good friend of mine.
Lots of really good folks that I've spent lots of time with, most of which centers around harassing pictures, big blitzes, funny stories about my brother, and Portugese moonshine from a Sierra Mist bottle.
I usually fish North Shore, but also mix it up in Connecticut, Western Mass, the OB's with my bro, North Shore, then RI to finish it all up.
Recently I've travelled to Cutty to test the dfirst aid skills of Smokey and doc.
Well, that's about it. My name's Rick, look for the Bombardier sticker in the rear window.

My name is Larry! I have been fishing fresh all my life but started fishing for stripes about 10 years ago! The fever took hold quickly! After only 2 years I had a full blown case of striperitis.......had joined MSBA and become Vice President, had a 4x4 dedicated for only driving the beach and was fishing more than I was working!! I was directed to this site I guess about 6 years ago??? I currently hold second place all-time for posts! I am chief cook and bottlewasher of a small custom plug building business called BigFish Bait Co.! I learned how to build wooden fishing lures from the many generous and gifted builders who frequent this site! It has become a passion and an addiction and I truely enjoy building lures and catching fish on them.....it is such a rush!! I just got married in July to the love of my life, Angie, and she also enjoys fishing! I have 2 sons from a previous marriage.....Larry is almost 15 and Nathan is 13! Larry loves to fish and Nathan hates it so it is a bit of a paradox! I fish south of Boston, Cape Cod and Cuttyhunk quite a bit! I fish 99.9% wooden lures.......it is the challenge of tempting a striper to take a piece of wood that I enjoy most!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Well, I guess I'll follow suit, Hi my name is Jon and I found this forum a little while ago, with the intention of learning how to make my own plugs. I am down here in Falmouth Ma, I am in my first season of surfcasting and love it. I have been fishing most of my life, but never from the beaches until moved here. Prior to coming here I spent 18 months in Alaska as a fisheries observer aboard the longline, scallop, and king crab fishing boats. After that I moved back to Maine (where my wife is from) and worked as a sternman aboard a couple of lobster boats. That's about it. I also wanted to say that I am glad I have found this site, I have met a few people, but I really want to get more involved in plugfest, plugnight, and maybe hook up with a few people to do some fishing. Thanks!

60 % of the time, it works every time.

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.

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!!!

Ah my turn.

My name is Katie, and I'm 17. I'm going to be a senior in high school, last year [ woohoo! ]. I found this site 5 years ago, through my dad Redcrbbr. I'm also an IT person, I've built websites since i was 9 years old, so i'm pretty much a computer geek. Its all good.

I've learned a lot from this site, and everyone on this site is awesome! really a great bunch of people

Hi, I'm Mark. I'm 44 and live in Stoneham. I'm a software engineer.

Dad taught me to fish sweetwater when I was a kid, but I didn't appreciate the peace, quiet and relaxation, so I stopped. My sons love of fishing got me back into it the last few years, and we've been surf fishing for a couple of years now, often with Dad alongside us. I've been lurking and occasionally spewing my wisdom on this site for a little over a year now. In all seriousness, this place rocks, and I hope to know a tenth of what some of you guys know someday.

Some interesting facts about me:

- I chose the name Clueless so people would think I don't know what I'm doing.

- I do know what I'm doing though. In fact, I'm a legend. I know this because all the guys I fish next to know about me already, because without even telling them, they all call me by the same nickname a wise fisherman once gave me, "Googan". He said it's Irish for "master of the deep".

- I can kill a thread quicker than anyone. Watch how no one will post in this thread once I click "Submit Reply".

- I am the reason Salty will be able to afford to send his son to an Ivy League school. Wacky Wednesdays are my kryptonite.

Nice to meet you all

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

I'm Randy, I'm 13, I live in Falmouth, MA in the summer and weekends in spring and fall, and Quincy everytime else. I do just about every kind of fishing out there. We run 2 boats so it opens that up for me. Boat fish DO count as long as there caught on artificials. I am a complete Albie NUT. I only do albies on the long wand. Hope to meet some of you.

Hi Frank here, I am a therapist. Mostly one on one, but sometimes groups. More money in groups, no doubt, but getting people to open up in front of others is extremely difficult and time consuming, but hey thats where the money is, time, in my line.

Been fishing since I was a little kid on Muddy Pond in Eastham. I can't remember when I started salt water fishing. Enjoyed Eastham and all it had to offer when I was a kid.

Started in on S-B.com after Bill and Jul's told me about fellow club member (MSBA), and former Massachusetts resident, JR, starting his own web site. I have only insulted (and apologized) a couple of people here and find some of the friendships I have made here to have been very rewarding. But then again I have never met anyone I didn't like, truly.
