In Fairhaven someone reminded me how long this website and it's intimate group of friends have been around. On the one hand it's a reminder that crap I'm getting old, but on the other hand I've met and had the pleasure of fishing with some really nice people. Here are a few folks I've had out on various boats and occassions, some you might recognize.

Couple more, then a time with Jenn (can't find pic), Goose who doesn't catch anything worth photographing apparently :) and many others.

Great times for sure. Mike always looks like that when he actually finally catches a fish.

Good news Mike, time to get that Clammer to English translation published, so we can interpret you cryptic posts at times:)

Yeah I think Crus got his expression "I feel the need for speed" from me, I have a reputation and it's never been about conserving fuel😳

Haven't seen a weakfish in a long, long time; I've only hooked one in all the years I've been fishing out of Westport. I remember back then I was thinking, WTF is this trout lost?

:thanks: Lots of good memories with good folks for sure. Reminds me of when life was simpler and I actually had (found, made, I dunno...) time to fish! I am grateful for all the folks that took this baffoon on the water :)

Looking back is nice, maybe time to look forward and bring back some of the get togethers. I enjoyed the laughs at the many cookouts and get togethers and the many I've had the pleasure of getting out on one of my boats; the got more sea worthy as my experience and budget increased.
