    Default Whats Up

    My Nick Name is Jackbass here and other locations people May have seen me.

    Started Fishing when I was young 5 years old nailed my first bluegill on a banana with a zebco and I was hooked. :

    Since then i have graduated to the level I am at now, I still know very little in the grand scheme of things of fish behavior feeding patterns and how to catch them. I learn something new every trip and there are plenty of them.

    I have fished the Flats with a fly. I have fished deep water with trolling and jigging gear. I have crawled around in brooks with a can of worms pulling in brook trout. It is my favorite thing in the world to do and I wouldn't give it up for anyone.

    Now I fish the Surf almost exclusively 98% I am hooked. There is nothing in the world like standing on a point and having white water around your ankles knees and feeling salt in your face for me at this point. Watching current take a plug or lure into the wash and having it disappear on a tight line with a boil or crash is what it is all about.

    I look forward to getting to know the People in here and sharing and comparing knowledge and hopefully someday standing in the wash with some of you.

    Traffic through Boston could be brutal tonight,,, it's usually a 3 hour drive for me if traffic doesn't slow me down too much.

    Hey Jackbass what's up!

    Your post to me crystallizes what it's like to be out there. A lot of people don't get that and wouldn't understand, but then there are those of us to whom your words say it all. Great first post.

    I like to think we're all learning at every stage of our lives, the only difference being that as we get older maybe we're lucky to pass some of that knowledge back to others.

    "Bluegill on banana" great story, I remember as a kid going for sunnies with worms, seeing a pickerel with a sunny in it's mouth and trying like hell to catch that big pickerel. I probably realized at that time that catching big predators was an adrenaline rush that I couldn't get enough of.

    This thing we love to do draws people together from all walks of life..... respect and love of the outdoors, and a desire to learn, is all ya need. Welcome aboard, look forward to fishin with ya one day.

    Welsome to S&A Jackbass! This is a great group of fishermen, they helped me catch my first keeper bass, and they aren't elitist or holier than thou like some of the other places. I really liked your first post, there is nothing better than being out and fishing the surf, whether you catch fish or not.

    Hey plugaholic. I will fish just about anywhere. This year I have fished in Mass, RI, Ct, and NY

    In Feb I will be doing some fishing in the mangroves of southwest florida for tripletail and snook. Maybe some redfish also

    Biggest thus far is 41 inches

    Hi Doulerunner, You got to try barracuda on the flats. There will be alot of them sunning them self. afew real large ones. I don't know about south west, but biscayne, and the keys should be good. I'm going in July. I have to wait for the kids to get out of school. April, May is the best time.
