We need to go fishing, Bill. Sounds like we have a lot in common.

Prior to my current gig, I was, at times, a consulting forester, an instructor in the repair of Army cryptologic equipment, a hydrologist, a computer specialist, a manager of hydrologists, an environmental manager for the Army, and a manager of an Army environmental software testing team.

I am a Pennsylvania Dutchman from the anthracite region, and remember a life with an outhouse and no running water. I have lived and worked in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, back to Pennsylvania, Texas, Minnesota, and finally back to Maryland. I do not intend to move again.

I grew up trout fishing on creeks that you could pee across, and graduated to fly fishing on larger streams in Pennsylvania. I also did a lot of rabbit and deer hunting. For most of my working career, I have been unable to make the time available to do as much fishing or hunting as I would have liked. Maybe before too long, I will step back from work a bit, and fit in more fishing and hunting between various family obligations.

I run a 1991 Grady White 228G, “Glory Days”, and just have re-powered with a brand spanking new Yamaha 4-stroke, which replaced my unreliable 1996 “big Johnson”. I am looking forward to better performance.

My Bay fishing interests are centered around LTJ and similar techniques, and I have no interest what-so-ever in trolling, let alone trolling with planer boards. However, I am a live-and-let-live kind of guy. I am far more interested in catch and release than catch and kill, and if I never put another fish in the box, that would be just fine with me. Well, maybe some perch.

In spite of a conservationist frame of mind, I have been known to eat both crabs and oysters (in moderation). I think that Omega Protein is a boil on the butt of mankind, and the Bay menhaden reduction industry should be eliminated, and a moratorium put on the harvest of Bay oysters.

Although I have been a NRA Life member since before some of you were a gleam in your daddy’s eye, I probably am quite a bit to the left of most of you politically, but as I said, I’m a live-and-let-live kinda guy and won’t hold your wrong-headedness against you.

Shawn,

I just hope it wasn't a malfunctioning "big Johnson"

Geez, new guys should be required to post here so we can all get up in their business!


Seriously though, I'm just bringing this thread back up to the top of the "New posts" so people can jump in if they want.

Hi Terry,

Where about in Annapolis? I'm over in Cape St Claire.

I loved the flea market at Tri State back in the winter.

I'm a bass fisherman at heart too.
