How about we all introduce ourselves

[Rivercat09]

My name is Don, and my wife and first mate is Kate. We Keep out boat on the South River, and moved from the Magothy earlier this season. My Pop introduced me to fishing when I was about 7 years old, and I grew up fishing the bay and in numerous fresh water haunts in Maryland and Pennsylvania. For reasons I still can’t explain (chasing girls comes to mind), I stopped fishing regularly in the early 80’s.

I picked up bass fishing and catfishing again in the early 90’s. I finally got back out on the bay in 2007; I’m wrapping up my third reborn season on the bay since buying my boat. I’m Rivercat both here and on the other board; the name has its origins in the fishing I did as a kid at Great Falls and later on the lower Potomac at the WW Bridge where I graduated from channels on chicken livers to the big blue cats on cut bait. Since getting back out on the bay, I don’t get out on the river nearly as much as I used to.

I sometimes really miss getting out on the river....

My boat name has its origins in the seemingly unfinished business that is fishing. For example, we got skunked on our honeymoon twice in Hawaii, leading me to often say “I have some unfinished business in Hawaii”. I see a lot of familiar names here from the other fishing board as well as a few other local boards. Glad I found this board, and I look forward to using it!

...I miss the river until I tie into something like this, my PB 46.

My name is Steve, I fished the bay for 60 years saw many changes. Lived in Potomac MD. but had another house in southern Dorchester county on the Honga. Fished that are for 35 years and got to know it quite well. Moved to Florida in August of 06. Got tired of just catching Rockfish, croaker small blues etc. Vacationed in Florida for many years and loved the different kinds of fish available, I haven't been let down. My boat is a 22 ft Pathfinder tournament edition with 105 gallons of live wells. I can fish the ocean where the gulf stream is only 2 miles from the inlet or fish in the shallow, my boat will float in very skinny water. I am a 2 hour drive to Islamorada in the keys, Mosquito Lagoon, the ten thousand islands and lake Okeechobee if I want to bass fish. I feel I live in fishing heaven, many tackle stores, marinas and thousands of boats. the water is still clean and the fishing fantastic. Wish I could have done this 20 years ago.
