[fishinhooks]

My name is Steve Hook and I have been in the real estate business in the Baltimore metro area as a salesperson and appraiser since 1978. I have had a boat since 1998 but have gotten to use it more over the last 3 years. Try to get out at least once a week with my kids (6) or grandchildren (8). I really appreciate the tips I receive from the experienced anglers on these boards to hone my fishing skills.

My name is Pat. I am 34 years old. I live in West Caln, Pa with my wife Lisa and our yellow lab Bailey. I grew up fishing for LM & SM bass, Wallaye and Muskie, I still still for those but now I prefer fishing the bay. The rockfish (stripers) got me hooked.
I work as a Facilities supervisors for American Fishing Wire (AFW) and Hi-sea fishing Line in Valley twp PA. I am in the planning stages of purchasing a new boat. I am 99% sure its going to be a Parker 2320 Pilothouse. That is unless I can be convinced on another manufacture. but originally from the far north thats going to be hard to do.

This is a great site. I hope to fish / meet and chat with fellow fishermen.

Hi everyone. My name is John. I'm just a newbie at this bay fishing thing but so far it's been great. I keep my boat on Rock Creek. Mark (Baldzilla) told me about the site as well as most everyone else it seems
For the last 2 years I've been fishing the Bay. Prior to that I've been a smallmouth fisherman for the most part. I have an 18' Alumaweld w/90 jet that I've been running the Upper Potomac in since the early 90's. Mostly fished Brunswick and Point of Rocks areas. I live just up the road from there in Lovettsville VA.
Now I fish the Upper Bay with my wife Sara and typically our two newfoundlands out of a 28 Albin. What little I know about trolling and LTJing the bay, I've learned from most of the folks I see here from TF and a good friend, Mark on Gitzit 2. Next season I hope to meet more of you and hopefully have a chance to fish with some of the folks here. I'll be around the BB tomorrow so if you see blue hulled Albin named Transition, give a shout.

Wow--its like a scary family reunion over here! Great to see a lot of familiar faces and meet some new ones.

My name is Hans Lemke. I am married to excessively patient gal and have a 3 year old daughter (Who caught a walking catfish and a softshell turtle last week--gotta love Flordia). Originally from PA, I grew up flyfishing for trout and smallies but always loved fishing the Bay a lot more. Decided to go to school at St. Mary's so that I could be within pissing distance of saltwater. "Studied" marine biology there and now I run biology teaching labs at University of Maryland, College Park. Great job since I can pretty easily blow off days during the week to fish.

I have an 18' Starcraft CC -- blue hull, T-top. I like to fish for just about anything that I can, but my favorite fish in the bay are the blues. I am all for getting rid of these damn rock so that we can have the bluefish runs like the 80's again!
We usually troll in the spring and winter and LTJ the rest of the time, though I plan on trying more jigging this year. I from the BB to PLO and crab mostly in the South.
I am also frequently on my buddies CpaeCraft 22 CC Dinner Bell out of Breezy.

If anybody needs company for the CBBT this year, let me know.
