V20 member locations list

[willy]

Hey all you Snaggers out there is there a way to compile a list state by state of where the members are located. Be a good way to network and put things together like fishing trips etc. I'd like to know what members are here in New Jersey or close by in PA, NY.

[willy]

And if a Snagger traveling thru needs some help, breaks down he would have someone he could call to get info etc. Like find out what bars serves Killians on tap or where the super models like to hang ;D

[chumbucket]

Willy. If you go to your Profile, you can change the notes under your name that cuurently says "I love YaBB" and add a brief about yourself like location, boat type, etc. You can also choose to put this as a signature line at the bottom of all your posts (also accomplished in your Profile settings). ;)

[willy]

Thanks CB wondered how ya did that. What do you think about making a member list with locations, could work out good for all don't you think

[reelapeelin]

Willy, I think you're on to something interesting......a US map w/a Norton Snagger (anchor) icon in the location of each V20 member would be interesting to look at...lotta mems are more reluctant to post their location, but maybe cause they simply haven't been asked to...I'm easy to find...small green gaseous cloud hanging over upstate of SC... ::)...

[willy]

See that would be great if I was visiting in the carolinas and I wanted to hook up or get local fishing info I could either look for the gaseous cloud or look up RAP on the list and give him a shout. I know for me if any of you guys were in Jersey and needed some help I would do my best to hook you up 8)

[willy]

You could make a site where it would be voluntary and anyone who wanted could contact local Snaggers or if he was looking for info on an area he was heading to he could reach out to a member there

[willy]

I guess this is another of my brilliant ideas huh ::)

Just as bad here the past few days Shicks, 11" rain in past 3 days, windy as h@ll and everything is flooded. And to make matters worse MJ and CB are hording all the bass up north >:(

[mmiklosz]

Great idea on posing the location for the few of us that are only on fresh water.

[fishmaster63]

long beach new york. boat docked in island park new york. fish reynolds channel, east rockaway inlet, jones beach inlet and offshore when possible.

[chumbucket]

The only thing MJ fishes for is one eyed trouser trout. ::)

[phester]

Kings Park, New York, Long Islands north shore. New York city is about 45 miles to my WEST and MONTUAK is about 75 miles to my EAST. I fish mostly the L.I. Sound from Port Jefferson to my east to Huntington to my west and all points inbetween. When I am surfcasting I am usually on the south shore. The fishing has been kinda slow for me but the first season w/ the v20 has been excellent!

[Seacrets]

Melbourne and Steinhatchee Florida. For now boat is in Steinhatchee where I run a few fishing and scallop charters. On the east coast I fish Port Canaveral to Sebastian inlet. I also fish inshore tournaments for fun. :)

[willy]

I am in central New Jersey, I fish two reservoirs, Spuce Run and Round Valley both in Hunterdon county, I salt water fish out of the Atlantic Highlands, mostly Raritan Bay and with a friend down in Barnegat Bay. I fish the surf down there a lot also. If any of you guys are in NJ area and need anything give me a shout 908-534-1077 is my home number.

Well maybe those stripers will get the hint and get the h@ll out of dodge and head south with our balmy 50 degrees and plenty of fresh water falling. ;D

[chumbucket]

Well.................that doesn't look so bad. Whatdya say we head out on that Cod trip? ;D

[BassOMaticII]

Great Idea Willy.
I take it from the replys that there are not too many V20s on the left coast. I'm in sunny Marina del Rey in Southern California just north of LAX.

Bass O Matic II

[pk]

I am located in Northern NY and usually fish Lake Ontario from Henderson Harbor and the St. Lawrence River from Alexandria Bay. Seasons over for me this year, time to winterize & store my 87 V20.

[willy]

Always wanted to fish that St. Lawrence, crossed it a dozen times in different areas and looks beautiful. Someday ;)

[willy]

And Bassomatic you see many v20's out on the left coast?

[reelapeelin]

My V20 is set up predominately for live-bait striper-fishin' the big inland reservoirs in SC; lakes Hartwell, Murray and Clarks Hill in winter...summer it's used for towin' the kids on whatever water-gizmo has their attention that day... ;)...

Sometimes she goes to saltwater, mostly Sunset Beach, NC and pulled to Cape San Blas, FL this summer...WILL do that again...whadda place... ;) ;D 8)...

[C YENSEN]

hey fellows,

i trailer my boat and am 4 miles outside of ocean city, md. i fish the coastal bays for flounder and stripers and on a nice day i will venture out as far as 25 miles in search of tuna.

[Blue_Runner]

I live in Lexington, NC and take my boat everywhere! Well, almost. The main thing I do is cruise on High Rock Lake, which is NC's 2nd largest lake by the way next to Lake Norman.'

I've done some striper fishing in Lake Norman, and tried in High Rock but they are hard to find.

Also at Lake Wylie about twice a year we stay in a nice house there on the water and do some fishing for catfish and crappie. One year the channel catfish were schooling and chasing bait to the top like hungry stripers! I caught 5 fish with about a 6 pound average in 10 minutes! I've never seen catfish do that!

About 5 times a year I trailer down and around Myrtle Beach SC to Murrell's Inlet. There I fish for flounder mainly, but hope to do some more king fishing down that way. Also have a brother in law at Carolina Beach and I fish with him down there about 2 or 3 times a year for flounder and most recently we king fished and caught a nice king right outside the inlet.

Also I'd like to do some bottom fishing in the 10 - 20 mile range out of Wilmington NC. That would be nice ;D Not to mention a mahi or two ;)

I'd like to have a radar arch with outriggers mounted on top of it to add to my V21 - that's my drool accessory :D

[Repirts]

Boston Habba! Jeffries Yacht club. Next to the airport.

[macojoe]

Hey repirts!! Long time no see!! hwats shaking?? hows the V20 doing?? I have not used mine since june and now have it covered for the winter. :-[

[Repirts]

Hi Maco,

Running sweet all summer. The last few weeks Boston has been hot - striper everywhere- but I'm afraid this weather may be the end. Anyway my boat season is over. Have to pull the boat tomorrow to be sure of getting storage in the club yard.

But its only a few months until April!!

[Stinky_Hooker]

I am in Mobile Alabama. I fish in and around Mobile Bay, and Dauphin Island. I am currently restoring (I use that term loosely) my V20, but I run an 18 Wellcraft cc.

[shicks007]

Hey Stinky,

How's that v-20 coming. It was looking good in those last pics you posted!

[Duncan_Idaho]

Pt. Judith /Narragansett Bay, Great boat to run out to the Block on. I'm glad I found this site, very informative for 1st time owner. (1988 v20 with original 200hp Merc.) By the way, very interested in post regarding repowering Thanks in advance.

[chumbucket]

Welcome there Duncan. Stripers on the move towards you. Good time to go to the Block once this horrendous weather pattern moves out. ;)

[willy]

Boy now we got a post going, I learned more about you guys in a couple days than I knew in months of reading the site ;D

[Blue_Runner]

My heart drops everytime one of you northern guys say, "my boating season is now over for this year". Sounds like a freakin obituary. :'(

Its only mid October. I'm not gonna start hittin it hard until late November/early December and will go all the way through till March!

But, you're right - April will be here before we know it!

[willy]

Same here Blue, will be running into early December at least, the way its going I won't even see the best striper fishing in Raritan Bay until well into November. But I will tell you I have to learn how to take care of a boat, batteriies fuel ines, water pumps ( bildge, bait etc.) and electronics when the temp drops below freezing, I have never had a boat that I kept going during the cold months before so any help you guys got let me know.

[Franco]

boating season is just starting to gear up here. Big boats coming down the Intracoastal waterway everyday. Fishing is really starting to heat up. Come on down to the sunshine state.

[willy]

You are a cruel man Senor Franco

Listen try saying something for me so I can confirm it
"WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN BADGES"
;D

[reelapeelin]

Franco, wish I could spend the time comin' down ICW...all the way to Sebastian Inlet... whoa, that'd be a super=cool trip...run outside for a while, then back in for the night...one of these day... ;D...

WILLY...winter tip for ya; get in the HABIT of tiltin' your motor DOWN after you pull up the ramp each time...let it sit that way while you're puttin' all your stuff away and strappin' down...this will drain all the H2o from the foot and keep freezing temps from CRACKIN' the gear-case open...extra precaution...back at the house, store boat w/motor DOWN...it's become a habit for me... ;)...

CAUTION: GOTTA REMEMBER to tilt her up to travel...habit, habit, habit... :)...

We'll free-line stripers all winter long, come spring, pull out the Norton Snaggers and go to cut-baitin'...and I got the perfect HAT for all the above!!!... ;D...Thanks Cap'n.. ;)...

[phester]

I'm on the Long Island sound and I usually fished my center console right up to or around Christmas...now I gotta v20 w/ a cuddy,w/a full enclosure, and a heater...just might have a New Years party on that boat.

[willy]

Phes just curious what do ya use for heat

[phester]

willy, that good 'ol boy RAP turned me on to a "Mr. Buddy" propane heater.It's not an open flame, they are made for tents and boats etc. Have'nt taken it out of the box yet...I will soon enough

[Stinky_Hooker]

Hey Stinky,

How's that v-20 coming. It was looking good in those last pics you posted!


Havent done too much on it due to hunting season coming. I have been planting and getting ready. The weather is nice now though, Im about to get to work on it though. I cant wait to get the transom done so I can get that mint green on the sides soon. 8)

[Mac_Attack]

B-R us northern guys put our boats away so that we can try walking on water,(frozen that is). Stinky what are we hunting? Bill Mc ;D

[ranger]

I live in Clarksville, Tennessee and fish Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Old Hickory and Percy Priest. I am originally from Fort Walton Beach, Florida and we go down there as often as possible and fish the Gulf and Choctohatchee Bay. As a matter of fact, I am there right now until the 23rd.

[Stinky_Hooker]

*Stinky what are we hunting? *Bill Mc ;D

Year round... poon tang ;D


Now, bowhunting for deer and gun opens in Nov.
I also hunt bushytails and rabbit

[chumbucket]

What's the bag limit on thingy tang down there Stinky? ;D 8)

[Blue_Runner]

3 per person up to 149 lbs ; 2 per person 150 - 199 lbs ; and, you guessed it, only 1 200+ lb per person! :o

[Mac_Attack]

Hunting like boating can be expensive especially when going after those thingy tangs. They can be quite expensive. Thursday pheasants season opens and our rifle deer season opens Nov. 15th. Good hunting! Bill Mc ;D

[willy]

Hey Mac Attack, how far from Hart Michigan are you, thats where my father is from and all his family is still there, we go up every couple of years to spend a few days. Was going to take my two Brittanies there this October and do some grouse hunting and go up to UP with them but circumstances won't let it happen this year :-/

[Stinky_Hooker]

Hey guys I put poon tang and it comes out thingy tang.

WTH?!?!


see it did it up there too. If I click to modify it it reads p o o n tang.

Sum kinda block or sometin? I ddnt know p o o n was a bad word ;D

BTW it costs a mortgage a couple cars, a couple tricycle motors and a set of Nortans to hunt it down here. Bout the same all over! ;D

[willy]

you think something called poon cost a lot you should see what super models cost 8)

[reelapeelin]

POONtang; bad word, good thing...

Willy, did you MARRY a Super Model or something?... 8)...cause that's GOTTA cost an arm, leg AND left Norton... :)...

[willy]

Well actually she is now classified as a CEO, but was a shorter version of a super model prior to her current job description. Later when I get my digi camera I'll send ya some super model picks ;D

[Mac_Attack]

Willy, Hart, MI is across the state from me. I'm on the east side of the state. *Bill Mc ;D

[willy]

Gotcha Mac, do you hunt grouse where your at or is it further north from you, I hunt deer, elk, rabbit, squirel with a long bow and a recurve, sometimes with a muzzle loader and if I'm feeling a little lazy with a rifle or shotgun but my passion is bird hunting pheasant, quail, chukar, and especially grouse with my two britt's and previously with a springer who i no longer have

[willy]

Anyone on Lake Wallenpaupak PA, always wanted to fish it?

[willy]

Bump

Edited to add: Forgot, I live less than 1 mile to two boat ramps on Chincoteague bay and have a slip thats about 300 feet from my office but normaally keep her on the trailer.

Airslot


Cyensen 54, we'll have to hook up, were almost neighbors.

[C YENSEN]

sounds good,

what do you have?

I got an 84 with a I/O 470 mercruiser. ;)

[Mac_Attack]

Willy, grouse are further north. My brother inlaw hunts them on his property in the UP. I've never bow hunted but the weather is much nicer during bow season. Bill Mc ;D

[willy]

How is that grouse hunting up there, I always thought what a great trip, see my aunts and cousins a couple days and then head north a few hours, fly fish for some browns early morning or bow hunt deer whichever floats my boat. Spend the middle of the days following behind a couple Britt's looking for the wiley birds. There now I've gone and talked myself into another trip next year ;)

[Mac_Attack]

Willy Sunday I'm going to Cabelas with my brother in law. *He hunts grouse in the UP, *but his land is about 3 hours past the bridge. I'll ask him about the bird hunting up there.*Here is a photo of our pheasant hunt on the 20th. *Bill Mc *;D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/Machockey/P1010064.jpg

[Mac_Attack]

I'm trying to resize the photo. *Bill Mc ;D

I got it.

[willy]

Mac you guys got your own pups for that

[Mac_Attack]

We hunt on a large farm owned by a familyfriend with a lot of $. *There are no longer any native birds so he buys 70 or so birds. *There are two release pens where he puts 25 birds in each pen. *This year there were 15 hunters group A the Lab team and group B the Brit Team. *The Britanys are owned by Bob the farms owner, we took 12 birds on the morning hunt. *The Lab team took 15. The Labs are owned by other hunters. *The birds that were not taken are hunted on the weekend by Bob's family and any of us who want to go back up. *It was a perfect day! *Bill Mc ;D

[willy]

Mac If you are down Jersey way this fall give me a shout, we'll do some bird hunting over a couple of great Britts ;)

[willy]

Everyone who saw this post, and did not post the map has been started by Cyensen so get on that posting and leave info, I love it when an idea snowballs 8)
