Captain Charlie Lemieux Has Passed
I just saw on another site and in the obits....Captain Charlie Lemieux of Cats Cradle Charters has passed away after his long battle with pancreatic cancer. If you knew Charlie, you were glad you did...and if you never had the pleasure, you sure missed one of the truely great people out there on the water. Charlie survived a massive heart attack awhile back and after fighting back from this he was dealt another tough hand but he never lost his good nature and his friendly way. I last saw him in April at the RISSA Show when he came by my booth. After all he had been through he was the same friendly, happy guy I met several years ago around the fisherman's circle. Rest in peace Charlie.....you will be missed.

Charley will be missed. When I worked at the bait store in Abington he would come in every spring to buy big bags of homemade pearl sluggo's. RIP |

Words cannot describe the thoughts I have seeing this. Charlie was a special friend. I ran into him many many times on the water and he was one of those people who was just a true gentleman.
I'm very sad to hear this Charlie you were one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. omg
If anyone sees the funeral arrangements can they please forward to me please.

Wow!!! RIP Charlie. I've had many long talks with Charlie over the years. I'll miss seeing and talking to him around the fishing circuit. Very sad news indeed.

Someone brought this up on another board and I used to think it was the funniest thing.
Charlie would carry a bag of popcorn with him on the boat, when he got to a spot and there was more than one or two boats on fish he'd move off a bit and throw a few handfuls of popcorn out on the water. The gulls would go bezerk and all the boats would move over there thinking there was a big blitz there. Then he'd move back over to the original spot and bail stripers 
The first time I seen that I almost broke a gonad laughing. |

As mentioned before, Charlie, is a great guy. I would always bump into him in Dux/plymouth bay, Monahans or the shows. he would always bring his green northcoast over to chat or exchange reports. He was a great fisherman and I learned a lot from our brief exchanges. RIP Charlie.

I first met Charlie at Henry Weston in Pembroke. From there I saw him everywhere else, on and off the water. Couldn't stand to be away from fishing and never had a job that wasn't connected to it. He owned property along with his wife right around the corner from me in East Bridgewater, in Elmwood. I dont believe he ever had the chance to develop it. I knew of the heart attack, but not the cancer. Really sucks, great guy.
