Ok, some of you know me... many of you don't. Those of you who know me, know my other nick name is "catchin' hell" and if you don't know me, you'll find out real quick why good buddies like, ohhh. MLAG *COUGH COUGH* or, DRICHITT *COUGH COUGH* call me catchin' hell. My name is Phil Bietsch (beach) and I'm from Chambersburg, Pa. ( ain't afraid to travel a ways to do a lil fishin'). I'm 24 years old, and have been married to my wife Amanda for, 2 years this spring. ( i Know, still newly weds). But anyway, I use to be an active duty United States Marine for 4 years, got out in 2008 and started college. Pursuing a degree in forest management and a minor in wildlife.
I guess I've been fishign the bay for 2 years now, and yes, I've never caught a rockfish over 39 7/8" while trolling and one over 29 7/8" while live lining. I'd like to say I have a boat, but my father ( who actually owns it) always tells me that if I want it, he'll start accepting monthly payments, insurance payments, maintenance payments, and boatel fees and I quickly agree that HE owns the boat. But we run a 24' Trophy 2359 Hardtop walkaround called "Old No.7". I'd like to say we picked up fishing on the bay naturally, but I owe all our boats success to guys like Skip and Mark who generously put up with me to attempt to teach me a thing or two about fishing the bay..Even though I decided to let go the only spot we had the first time live lining with mlag, these guys still keep askin me to go fishing! I think it makes them feel like they're really good fisherman when they get out and see me loosin fish left and right, snappin lines and missin the biggest fish of the day when it's my turn to net!
Ok, i'm off the soap box. Hope to see you all out on the water this spring!
-Phil
