I posted this on the other thread, so please excuse me. I'm glad I found this board, and I'm checking in.
My name is Don, and my wife and first mate is Kate. We Keep out boat on the South River, and moved from the Magothy earlier this season. My Pop introduced me to fishing when I was about 7 years old, and I grew up fishing the bay and in numerous fresh water haunts in Maryland and Pennsylvania. For reasons I still can’t explain (chasing girls comes to mind), I stopped fishing regularly in the early 80’s.

I picked up bass fishing and catfishing again in the early 90’s. I finally got back out on the bay in 2007; I’m wrapping up my third reborn season on the bay since buying my boat. I’m Rivercat both here and on the other board; the name has its origins in the fishing I did as a kid at Great Falls and later on the lower Potomac at the WW Bridge where I graduated from channels on chicken livers to the big blue cats on cut bait. Since getting back out on the bay, I don’t get out on the river nearly as much as I used to.
Sometimes I really miss the river (me and my PB 37 pounder)...
My boat name “Unfinished Business” has its origins in the seemingly unfinished business that is fishing. For example, we got skunked on our honeymoon twice in Hawaii, leading me to often say “I have some unfinished business in Hawaii”. I see a lot of familiar names here from the other fishing board as well as a few other local boards. Glad I found this board, and I look forward to using it!
