How about we all introduce ourselves

[EDGEWATER]

Chip Dodson – 50 yrs old and live in Morgantown PA but spend a lot of time fishing the Bay. My girl has a house on Tilghman Island – that’s how it ALL started.

I fish on a 23’ Parker Pilothouse with my buddy Tanner – no boat name – just look for the big yellow lab with the red life vest.

Grew up fishing freshwater – mostly fly-fishing for trout from central PA to Canada.

I’m a contract CAD designer, mechanical engineer (my company – Innovative Design Solutions, Inc.) – design machines, products, etc. I take a person’s ideas and make it reality.

I have fished with a few people I've met on “the other” board including Powerplay, 27Sailfish, SPYNET, DWKoeller.

Look forward to meeting on the water.

As for the board name EDGEWATER - my old boat was an EdgeWater 18CC - so the name stuck.

[Conjuror]

Steve May. I'm 51 and live in Alexandria. Wife and two kids.

I'm a lobbyist (yup, one of those) for Cummins.

I've got a Judge 36 named Conjuror which I keep in Deale and fish mostly south of there at every chance.

Family is originally from New England so I also try to get up there to fish and sail (yeah, most of my family are sailors, so I guess that's two strikes). I also keep a small sailboat in Alexandria (uh, oh...three strikes!!)

OK; this is just not acceptable. Who in the heck allowed "Conjuror" (Steve May) on this board!!! Steve, you are right, three strikes (a lobbyist; comes from a family of sailors, and owns a sailboat in Va.). There is one way you can redeem yourself; take a couple of us out in your 36 Judge (in Deale) for a fall trolling trip. What a SWEET boat that must be. Welcome to the board, look forward to some fishing photo's from that Judge!! 5th (Marty)

[Old No.7]

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!
