Hello all. Just wanted to drop a post here and introduce myself. I just got off the phone with DarkSkies, and realized that I'd never checked his site out. Well done, Rich! Looks nice!

My name is Jake. I come alive on dark nights in the frothy wash of the New England surf. I can usually be found somewhere along the RI or MA coast, but fish anywhere from NY/NJ to Maine during the course of the season. Nothing warms my blood like a striped 50 in the surf on a dark night

I'm Vice President of Stripercoast Surfcasters Club, and an avid surfcaster, skisher, and kayaker. Striped bass are my quarry, but the vast majority of the fish I catch get to swim away with a kiss on the nose and a story for their girlfriends of the crazy looking dude who unhooked them. (I like that smiley! Can I steal it?)

May your rods be frequently and powerfully bent!
