Since going full time as a fishing charter captain I have not felt better. It's a new page in my book with a lot of pages to be written. I love it each and every day. A few photos from the past week...
I could post more photos all night... It's not work if your having fun!!!

That is awesome OP! Congrats!
I would post pics of my job, but you've all obviously seen a computer screen and stock/market ticker before, so I'll spare you. Nothing anywhere as cool as OP's job. I'm jealous |

My dad is the only person I don't require to wear one since he's the guy who taught me everything I know about the water. |

Serious question from someone in Kansas, when can I fish with you?
I'll fly down there and lets do this. Send me a link to your website or whatever (don't post it here as that's advertising or whatever). |

They are Type II PFDs. They mad take it off when we stop and fish but they are soooo comfortable they usually forget it's on and wear them all day long..

I know this area so well I don't have to fish anywhere else. Not but a few guides in the area and the boat traffics is almost none. During the week I might see another boat in the area. I charter out of an 2006 16" Mitzi flats. 2015 Yamaha 70 on the back with and 80lb MinnKota on the front if needed. I use my 20" moonliter Carbon push pole most of the time. I can easily push in 6" of water chasing the Reds into the creeks.

Good looking boat. We fished last weekend out of a 17' Hell's Bay Waterman tossing flies at tailing reds. Good times.
ETA: like the float on the Boga.

I definitely wear one and have family wear them when I go fishing. Awesome job. I knew a drug rep from Pfizer whose plan after retiring was to take people fly-fishing for stripers. He took me out a couple of times and it was awesome. We cause about 120 between the two of us one morning. They were between 3 and 6 pounds, "schoolies". |
