Hello to all. My name is Bob or Bull as the guys at work call me. I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. My father was a firefighter and fished commercially as side job. I have lobstered, longlined, gillnetted, scalloped, swordfished, and otter trawled (dragging). I skippered my own boats for many years when I was younger. Now Dad and I fish a small inshore scalloper.

Presently, I am employed full time as a Lieutenant with the Plymouth (MA) Fire Department. I work out of our Manomet Station. We are located about 300 yards from the beach. I retired 4 years ago from Boston Edison. I was employed as a Fire Protection Engineer at their Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. I was able to spend many days before and after work catching stripers and blues at the discharge canal for the Plant. As a result of Sept 11, that freedom no longer exists.

Today I spend equal amounts of time fishing the Canal, Plymouth's many miles of coastline, and our large harbor. If you come across a 6'8" 300 plus pound guy in shorts, Plymouth Fire tank top, and sandals fishing any of the above locations come say hello. I'll be happy to show you around.
