THIS IS MY FIRST POSTING AS I AM A NEW MEMBER. WE WENT OUT TO THE GREEN CAN OFF CH TODAY AND I CAUGHT MY FIRST VB STRIPER. 32" AND NICE AND FAT. I KNOW THIS ISN'T MUCH FOR SOME OF YOU GUYS, BUT MADE ME SMILE. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE. I LIKE THIS SITE AND ALL THE INFO FROM ALL OF YOU. THANKS BANANA SPLIT:D

[Dam...we've lost another one to the Striped Bass addiction...You will find youself thinking about the weekend and fishing all week and not being very productive at work...there are no known support groups..The only way to get a FIX is to get out there and catch another one !....

Seriously...congrats on your fist VB striper, may there be many more.....bob

Congrats and welcome to the board!! Now that you've caught your first...go to your nearest tackle shop and turn over your wallet and bank account numbers...they'll take good care of them for you!!!

Great job and thanks for the report!!

Nice fish to pop your cherry on....pretty work!

Nice first striper. Hope you have many more to come. Congrats

Congrats. You never forget your first. It sure was nice out there today, just wish the fish were more coperative.

You have picked the right site to hang your post on. Congrats on the Rocks. Welcome aboard!

Pretty Work!!!

Congrats on your first striper. "My first striper" would be a good topic to start.

This is a good site to be on. Theirs a great bunch of guys here.

Congrats and welcome aboard!!!!

Good work --now you have the addiction like the rest of us --get ready to empty your wallet and increase the limit on your credit card. You'll soon be going to boat shows because you need something "just a little bigger" because there just isn't enough storage on your current boat.

Great to have you on board. I did that last year and yesterday I endured an hour of cold weather in an open console just to get down to the action in Corolla. But it was worth it!!! It sure does get in your blood.

Chick, how much fuel does your 18' hold, and where do you launch from? (mine is 60 gallons, and I'm itchin' to try to run it down south--just haven't built up the courage yet--never been down past CH before in it.

CONGRATS SPLIT !!!!!! The first you always remember!!!! It defenately gets in your blood and then comes the morning you wake-up with gills

welcome aboard!!!!!!

I've got an 18' Sea Pro with a 40 gallon tank and a 90 HP Yamaha 4 Stroke. We used less than half a tank for the run down and back and a full day of fishing.

Thanks. I've got a 60 gallon tank, but a 115 4-stroke Yamaha. I think it's doable for me even from Hampton.

I am not into Voodo or anything like that but you are brave naming your boat with the word Ba@((() in it.
