Hey Fellas: You gotta hear this fellas; Sharkbite ( a BassResource.com member now) was on our give it forward trip. HE NOW HAS THE BASS FISHING OBSESSION BIG TIME

He learned how to baitcast , and has been learning a lot from Roadwarrior

That trip, I do not think he slept more than 3 hours in 3 days!!!

HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP: Sharkbite being brought back at 3:25 am in the morning by the Fish and Boat police because he was fishing with his  Fishing Lic but no Stae Pic  ID, and we had to get him off the Lake about the same time on another night;

He was on a pitch dark lake, in an inflatable raft>>>no navigation lights, he had 2 MAGLIGHT, flashlights. One stuck onto a stick and DUCK TAPED TO THE RAFT, the other DUCK TAPED TO HIS BASEBALL CAP

When asked what he was doing he said : Road warrior said in the summer fishing can be better at night

Thanks Kent for all your help :

And this will be one of Sharkbites more cherished memories, I'm sure. But Muddy, that is a perfect example of being totally sold out to fishing isn't it.

Thanks RW for another solid member inducted into the Fish-a-Maniacs Club. I am a card carrying member myself.

Big O

Well I am glad that the guy's that were on the trip with us and in the middle of my insane fishing can look back and laugh. LMAO It was a great trip and a unforgetable weekend. I just didn't know who or what would kill me first weather it was Muddy from getting woke up at 3:00am by the rangers flash light or the rangers for having so many run-ins with them or the lack of food, water and sleep. It was funny as hell though when Muddy woke up LOL he look alot like Beattle Juice with his hair all crazy and veins popping out all over the place. Man thanx all I haven't enjoyed my self like that in a long time. Let me justify the night fishing in a raft. After Muddy went on and on about how great the top water works at night and he said they look like sharks while striking, I just had to get out there to see if it was true.  Although I didn't know much about boating Saftey I got a free lesson from Dominick that night in  30 second. Well after all the hype I didn't even get a strike that night. Plus I didn't have much time to fish after 2 cast in the dark I had a birds nest the size of a mountain.  Then Muddy found out were I was. It was awsome to see everyone had some size and color trick sticks. Also alot of guy's ended up with nice BC rods so I didn't feel alone no more. Another guy had worse birds nest then me the only difference is he put his down I didn't. So everyone knows I do have a boat but haven't taking it out yet thank God that NJ makes you take a safety course first. Which I signed up for in 2 weeks. Now all boaters and anglers can sleep knowing Sharkbite will know the safety of the water. Thats rite no more rafts and Mag lights.

So Dom, did you get him a Mook shirt? Sounds like the mookmania was running wild!

Sharkbite, that's determination! I'm sure there will be many bent rods in your future!

CJ

I shore do Hope so

Hey guys I wanted to let everyone know that I was legal that night.  I took NJ boating saftey course and any vessel powered by ore at night needs one water proof flash lite.  The only thing I didn't have is a whistle.

Sharkbite, welcome to the forum. Don't tell anyone, but I think Muddy is one hell of a great guy. I'm glad he introduced you to the weird world of bass fishing and to this site. Dominick thinks highly of you, and that's good enough for me. I sincerly hope that we have to opportunity of all getting together, fishing, and catching a glimpse of Muddy's butt crack Er, catching a lot of big bass.
