STEVENSVILLE - He describes fishing in the Chesapeake Bay as so much fun, it's like visiting the "Disney World of fishing. I learn something new every time I go out there." Shawn Kimbro, 47, now of Stevensville, moved to Maryland three years ago from his native Tennessee.

Born and raised in Kingsport, Tenn., Kimbro started fishing in small freshwater ponds, lakes and streams, at a very early age as a child. To put simply, he got "hooked" on the sport of fishing as a child, and the 'child' has never left him.

You'll have to subscribe to the paper's website or buy the hardcopy to read the rest of the article. I will say it is full of interesting facts, for example, Shawn says;

"I like to fish anywhere around the Bay Bridge. You'll find me Trolling there or anywhere 10 miles south or 10 miles north of the bridge."

I already have the article framed and hanging in the shop. Just waiting for an autograph.

67 years old ?????

Exactly what I was gonna post???? :confused:

I think Mark took some creative liberties with that article! :eek: Otherwise, nice write-up with a good shout-out to Carefulcatch.com.

We have some very cool things in the works for CarefulCatch coming up this year. I'll post about them when it's all confirmed.

What about Trolling?
 

I didn't make that up, the writer may have, but not me.
The age thing must have been a typo.

Now misquote a woman's age - her friends cry and she will cut your throat.

Mis quote a guy's age - we all have a good laugh and tease the old geezer.:D

Yeah, but what do you do if they misquote you as a troller!! :D :D

They might know something we don't:rolleyes:............Gary

Shawn,

How did trolling work back in those nice ponds in Tenn ?

Is there a trick about jig/trolling the bay you haven't told us about yet ?

Did the writer have one too many Jack & Peach's ?

:)

Mike

Did you get those planer boards out again?:p

FIrst off, Congrats Shawn, 67 has gotta be some sort of milestone! You gotta bet he 3rd oldest dude on this board behind Powerplay and the Fischfondler! Usually old dudes cant find their way around a keyboard!

And to have your age misquoted is nothing compared to being called a troller, he at least could have said a jigger who trolls sometimes???... I can't wait to see the Planer Boards 140 feet out the side of the boat, with your new sweatshirt and hat (courtesy of a fellow CBangler) and possible logo on the side of the boards!

Good news is I heard the fondler got his new molds for 2, 4, and 6 oz ruby lip parachutes!!

140 feet ? You must be kidding...I thought he meant his planers would stretch 240 feet on each side....And wasnt he going to run 4 sets ?

Damn trollers..Ruinin it for the rest of us....

At least he wont be around much longer....67 is like one foot in the boat and one in the bay....

He tends to run the planers close (140 ft+/-) when at the rips......240+/- when in the open bay:D:D He is very courteous for an older fella:p
Hey old guy....when are we going to get back out again? ...............Mark

Shawn - you being called a troller is just plain funny :p:p

Could have been worse - imagine being named as a fly fisherman :eek::D

Sucks they mentioned your fishing grounds - now ten miles north/south of the bridge will be packed.

or vindictive and mean!!! :mad: :( :confused: :rolleyes: :o :D ;) :cool: :eek: :p

According to Kimbro you can now access the full write-up because:

"They got so many hits they felt like it was the right thing to do, you know, for the people."

He sure talks a good game for a guy that won't have a boat until August 201?.
And don't worry about the new boat lettering, Crockett has a plan.
