Introduction When not fishing, I enjoy fishing. Like traveling and experiencing different cultures while admiring natures wonders. Muscle cars from the early Sixties and Seventies. Snow ski, Drag racing, Cooking, Gardening and occasionally theater.
Interests Retired Commercial Rod & Reel Fisherman. Turned Sport Fishing Charter Boat Captain. Apprenticed from 9-13 yrs. of age on a Montauk based charter boat. Was a mate from age 14 through 17. Graduated Chapman School of Seamanship and became a licensed Captain at 18. Ran a private boat for 2 yrs. fishing the North East Canyons, before buying a boat custom designed specifically for the rod & reel tuna fishery. I did this for 8 yrs. Then purchased a 100 ton commercial vessel and fished from Nova Scotia to the Carolinas and even the Grand Banks for 10 yrs. I have fished the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf, Caribbean, Mediteranian, Baltic and North Sea. 3 years ago I purchased "Discretion" and moved to Key West, Florida full time. When not Sport Fishing for a living I enjoy studying different techniques used world wide.
