Im a recent college grad looking for work in the environmental field.. that said work is scarce. last year was an abismal fishing season. basically im looking for new fishing partners and this site looked like a good resource. i love nature and am looking forward to meeting people who share my enthusiasm.

General Info

Interests
Fishing,camping, hiking, gaming, exploring new places, mineral collecting, plant and animal taxonomy, astronomy and stargazing, lurecraft, sculpture...the list goes on

Bowfin, Largemouth bass, Smallmouth and pike( maybe stripers if i can find a good spot)

Water Type
Freshwater
Favorite Lures
Finesse fishing soft plastics, handmade inline spinners, crankbaits, spinnerbaits
Fishing Rods
nothin flashy since my rods take a pounding, i never spend much on them.(50$ max)...right now i hsve a silstar medium action, a medium action lightning rod, a st.croix UL, a tica heavy action and a Trophy Striper heavy action rod made by a small company i found at the expo 2 years back. its proven to be extremely reliable.
Fishing Reels
i use okuma and penn reels mostly. anything with a drag that can handle braid, as ive always hated mono..the memory,,the texture.. the fact it wears out every year.. the invention of braid made fishing far more enjoyable for me
Fishing Techniques
generally i fish from shore. i do have an inflatable raft, but i dont use it all the time. i usually change my technique depending on what im fishing for and where im fishing, but my usual starting approach is finesse fishing minnowbaits like fin-s fish and soft stickbaits like senkos.
Favorite Fishing Spot
probably Scoville Reservoir.. its the place i go the most often, cuz its right around the corner.. but it certainly isn't the best...not anymore...

Map it

at the end of march ill begin targeting bowfin at scoville reservoir again. by starting earlier, i may avoid the horrible weed problem i encounter in late spring /summer. anyone interested in catching a prehistoric relic with ridiculous strength is welcome to join me.

Planning on hitting the lower housatonic once spring starts. ive never had a successful striper fishing trip., mostly because i dont know when or where to go. im teaming up with a buddy of mine who says he knows exactly when we need to get there. Anyone who wants to join me or plan another trip with me, please let me know!
