Your screen name is what? And what about that avatar??

When I was in my mid teens back in the early 70's . Bass Fishing was really getting popular nation wide. I was really drawn to fishing .  A couple of my older  brothers had really nice bass boats of the day. One was an Arrowglass and the other was an Ebtide... I did say "of the day" Anyway I would get an invite on occasion. Feeling all cocky ( I had seen someone catch one on tv, so I knew all about it). one morning as we were leaving for the ramp. I asked my brother what kind of bass we were looking for.  He said he was fishing for lips. He couldn't do anything about what they were attached to. Took some of the cocky air right of me. As you can see, it kind of stuck with me. As far as the pic. Just something I found on the net. Showing my Elmer Fudd side. Mike

My dad has an Arrowglass boat from the late 80s.  That is what I grew up in. It is a pretty thing. You might see it on table rock on rare occasion (probably near aunts creek or cape fair).

Cool. I had a 1977 model I got used when I got out of the service in 82. Kept for a few years then got a job that didn't allow for much of a personal life. So I let it go.

On the fly is my preferred method of fishing. The number 6 is my lucky number/favorite number. My avatar is an infamous meme/quote from The Water Boy. Now every time I see the phrase “you can do it” I read it in Rob Snyder’s voice.

When I joined this site I had just gotten back from a vacation in the Caribbean.  The second in a few years. So I was feeling all island-y. It feels like a long time ago now but I haven't seen fit to change it. What's an avatar?

The picture under your name.

I have never been the creative type, so my chosen screen names, user IDs and email addresses tend to be just simply efforts at deriving something from my given name. Unfortunately, my actual last name is "Bass". The chance that I can use that in any logical coherent easy to remember user name or ID has proven practically non-existent when creating personal email addresses, login IDs, usernames, or anything of the sort.

I knew that there was no chance that I would ever be able to use any simple form of identity that would include my last name on a fishing specific forum. So...initials and year of birth it is!

In all the years I have struggled with this, I have honestly NEVER thought of that as an option! I've been a member for about 2 days, and I'm already learning things!!

Is ErnestTBass out there?  That guy is one I have always admired.  His dedication to Charlene was exemplary.  As were his rock throwing skills.
