I got tremendously lucky. I moved down here from Indiana when I was 14 years old to live with my mom. I needed a job, so about 2-3 weeks after I moved down here I had her take me down to the beach, I figured I'd help clean fish/boats, whatever, maybe get some free fishing trips and make some money.

Walking down the dock to the Sea Trek on Ft Myers Beach, I see a guy toting a bag, obviously very angry storming off the dock. Walked up to the feller who looked in charge, big ole Captain Kenny Pearson. I introduced myself, shook his hand, and asked if he needed any help or could find use for a hard working hillbilly from the Midwest. He told me to show up at 7am and turned around and walked away from me. I showed up at 7, and realized that I was going out on the boat, and so began my offshore fishing career. I had literally never even been on the ocean before. Did lots and lots, did I mention LOTS? of 36-60 hour trips far offshore. Will put a whipping on you, but the fishing is just amazing.

Made a good name for myself and kept it up until I got into my junior year of college. Made more money than a kid knew what to do with, to boot.

Sunshine that is so cool! Definitely post some pictures if you have some... :-)

LEt me know when he says and I will look and we can see what dates we can make work. Gotta be a 10hr trip though.

DANG! Just realized. We started out helping Sunshine spend $50.00 and ended up possibly costing me $500.00. WTH? Glad he didnt have $1000.00 burning a hole in his pocket!

wait til I start asking how to rig my pontoon boat.

Hahahaha..will be worth it!

Besides I laughed when I saw Sunshine mention $50. You know the saying... give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and then he has to buy, rods, reels, tackle, bait, a boat, motor, trolling motor, gps, house on the water, etc etc... fifty dollars?? Lol.

Notice I said it was a start! lol

Was really just trying to get people to come off of what jigs/tubes/baits they use most often. Really easy to fill up a tackle box with expensive crap that you never use.

I have 4 boats sitting in my yard, only one of them has a running motor right now

Tell me about it! I got a container full of stuff I bought tried and put away. Start with Southern Pro Hot Grubs and their tubes in a few colors I mentioned. Hone and try from there. Skip the jigheads at walmart. Look for 1/16oz with #2 hooks.
