Hello from Becky's Creek

[RayWitte]

Hello forum members...  my name is Ray Witte.  We bought a place off Becky's last April after I retired and finally got basic gear to start fishing in August.  Don't catch a lot however I love it out on the lake.  We've been coming down to SML for a week in August for the last 10 years or so and are somewhat familiar with the lake.  My boys and I have gone out with Capt Bert several times - what a great guy!  Learned the basics from him however need more practice!  I have a 2005 white/beige Hurricane Fun-Ski with Yamaha 200.  Learning (trying anyway) to interpret my HDS-5 gen 1.  Always looking for company to fish.  I'm usually here by myself during the week since my wife is still working in NOVA and is only here on weekends.  I look forward to meeting others on the lake!  Ray

Welcome Ray - if I remember right, I believe there is another here on the board that hails from Becky's Creek and is relatively new to the striper fishing....

That Hurricane "center-console" is a nice platform - our budy HokieChad has one - we call it the Striper Lounge

Thanks for the welcome messages.  Yes, MWard, I am extremely happy with the Hurricane.  Best of both worlds - great for fishing and can also take the kids/grandkids skiing, tubing, etc.   Comfortable when we go crusing.  My wife and dog love to go out in the evening however they won't go fishing with me!  Thankfully, my kids (6) and grandchildren are usually ready to go.
