Thanks fellas. Toss some dates at me.
You do realize you have to start a charter business.As usual good going Mike.
I would love to spend the rest of my life on the water.
Your already doing it right Mike. Most of the captians I know work two jobs...and some really love the guiding. I learned really quickly that fishing, to me at least is too precious to share with the masses. I get more kicks sharing those trips with those closest to me and I'd struggle to carve that time off for strangers. Hats off to the captains that do it and love it.In short...some things shouldn't be used for financial gain and if anything will ruin our sport...its the commercial aspect of it.
spot on Jon... it's the reason I stopped running charters and sold the Holland.Nice fish Mike... sadly in the gulf of Maine, we have so many restrictions I cant be bothered.. I loaded up on haddock this spring but cod were my favorite target... I miss the glory days, we caught some real nice fish right in the mouth of the river.. jigging cod on light tackle in 15' of water is the balls...all winter long when we had good spells we launched the tin boats.. spring and fall fishing were phenomenal...and it was only a short 5 mile run to get as many cod or haddock as I wanted..keep it up Mike as long as you can, water will be frozen before we know it.
