I am Jerry Swartz, 56 and married for 30 years and live in Rockville, MD. I have two adult children (25 & 22). I work in the data warehousing business.
Started fishing the bay in 1978 with an English guy who taught me a lot about fishing in general. Once children came along I stopped for about 10 years. When I started again I fished the upper Potomac for smallmouth for 15 years and am now back on the bay. I start fishing in mid March and stop about mid December.
I have a 23' Boston Whaler Conquest 235 and fish out of the Rhode River. You can usually find me between the Bridge and Breezy Point and points east of them. As for type of fishing I like to troll, ltj, live line and bottom fish.
I don't fish in the winter but I do like target shooting with a shotgun. I shoot trap, skeet and sporting clays. Still get to shoot the bull with buddys.
I also like to do wood turning. My favorite projects here are segmented bowls, regular bowls, platters and goblets. Haven't tried turning top water plugs but might.

I'm Jeff Banks, 50 years old, and live in Rockville Md. I go by Joebass3 on the other site. I've been married for 22 years and have a 18 year old son who is in his first year at the University of Md.
I own an automotive repair shop in Bethesda. We specialize in Volvo repair, but also service most imports. My work seriously gets in the way of my fishing, so I fish with the crowds on the weekends.
I also own a Judge 27 Chesapeake and keep it in Ridge,Md. and fish out of St Jeromes Creek. Boat name is "Breakaway" and am obviously a hockey fan also. I have never skated in my life, but have had years of enjoyment watching my son play with the Montgomery Youth Hockey Association since he was 6.
Hey Jim, If you want to see what a hockey stick looks like, come on down and I'll show you

My name is Bill Herb. I am in the early half of my sixties. I live with my wife of many years, son, and chocolate Lab on Fairlee Creek near Chestertown. I work from home, and when I need to take a break, I watch the pair of eagles across the creek in their new nest.
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.

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

Things in common
Shawn,
I just hope it wasn't a malfunctioning "big Johnson"
