Hi there

[baitstealer]

I was referred here by clamchucker. Nice to hear from you man. I do a lot of fishing from Sandy Hook to Deal. I am looking forward to getting the striper of my lifetime this year!

Looks like a great site, full of diversity. Hopefully I can be a long time contributing member. Thanks for the invite.

Welcome baitstealer. Any friend of clamchucker's is lucky, the guy could pull fish out of a puddle in the ground.

Welcome baitstealer. Any friend of clamchucker's is lucky, the guy could pull fish out of a puddle in the ground.

Clamchucker could catch fish with one hand tied behind his back.
Clamchucker could catch fish in the middle of a hot sunny day at high noon.

We should start a thread about clamchucker, I think he gives the OFFC a run for their money. Where ARE those guys, btw, sleeping in their sofas till we start pullin in some better fish?

Thanks for welcome guys. Here is my newbie joke:

Ten common fishing terms explained

Catch and Release - A conservation motion that happens most often right before the local Fish and Game officer pulls over a boat that has caught over it's limit.

Hook - (1) A curved piece of metal used to catch fish. (2) A clever advertisement to entice a fisherman to spend his live savings on a new rod and reel. (3) The punch administered by said fisherman's wife after he spends their life savings (see also, Right Hook, Left Hook).

Line - Something you give your co-workers when they ask on Monday how your fishing went the past weekend.

Lure - An object that is semi-enticing to fish, but will drive an angler into such a frenzy that he will charge his credit card to the limit before exiting the tackle shop.

Reel - A weighted object that causes a rod to sink quickly when dropped overboard.

Rod - An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler from ever getting too close to a fish.

School - A grouping in which fish are taught to avoid your $29.99 lures and hold out for spam instead.

Tackle - What your last catch did to you as you reeled him in, but just before he wrestled free and jumped back overboard.

Tackle Box - A box shaped alarmingly like your comprehensive first aid kit. Only a tackle box contains many sharp objects, so that when you reach in the wrong box blindly to get a Band Aid, you soon find that you need more than one.

Test - (1) The amount of strength a fishing line affords an angler when fighting fish in a specific weight range. (2) A measure of your creativity in blaming "that darn line" for once again losing the fish.

Welcome to the site baitstealer! We all know that when we die, we hope our wives don't sell our fishing tackle for what we told them we paid for it. Good post.
