What got you into it?
Was working 330-midnight tues-f and 8am-5pm saturdays and had class 745am-2 m-f . Every chance I had free time I was fishing. The girl I was ummm dating yeah.. at the times dad had invited me out on his boat for 2 or 3 years and I pretty much always declined.. I just did my thing. I finally went one day and yup old man had a twin screw 25 hydra sport that was mint with every possible option.. And no one to fish with, sweetness!! I miss fishing with her dad a TON learned a lot about Block Island, boatwise shore it’s a lot more challenging moving around wise, I like block boat shore, I’d take shore.. I don’t really ever find myself wondering hows shes doing, I usually think more hmmmm I wonder if he’s out fishing. That first trip started a fishing run that pretty much consisted of come home from work, straight to the dock to fish block island, bang out the homework quick quick on lunch at work, and keep going as many days in a row as possible. We went through a LOT of eels fishing block at night and always threw poppers at first light, one thing lead to another and for some strange reason in the middle of the 02 winter I decided hey I can make these… so I made some poppers.. ugly gawd… were they ugly.. so I started checking out stuff online, and I found some Japanese techniques, so I made some stuff for largemouf still have some in progress… kept searching online and I found the other place, then saltheart mentioned that you all here were having a get together and I attended and I haven’t been banned yet…and well here I am, I build when I have free time and I’m a burn the candle at both ends person, so free time becomes rarer and rarer..
I enjoy knowing that I made that block of wood do that, dive wobble snake in an S like a danny should… etc. It makes me chuckle inside wood is like this super primitive thing, and I work with like super ultra, nasa super uber technology so it’s a nice change of pace. I don’t like the plug wars aspect of it, I dunno I’m kinda of a total simpleton in the fact that I think that why cant people just act right?? You know live and let live?? Do what you’re supposed to do etc.. you know stuff like that or some junk…
