Its taken me this long to even mention it. Im not to worried about me and my future, im a professional fisherman and can fish on just about any boat thats hiring. Im lucky to have my private job, and not to have to rely on the shark fishing only. My crew mates and friends are hurting in a bad way. There could be jail time for them. I have often been asked why I didnt take the captains position when it was offered, and this is the reason. There is to much risk and responsibilities for the reward. If I owned the boat myself it would be different. I could not risk the consequences for only a slight increase in percentage than I make as deck boss/first mate. As captain you are ultimately responsible for every action on the boat, and the buck stops there !! My friend chad will ultimately face the fines and possible jail time not the owner who was not on board at the time !! I often regretted not taking that position and watched as captain chad made 5 % more than me with less experience. Now im reminded why I did not take the position. That extra 5 percent is spent and 4 years at an extra 5 % wouldnt even cover the fines if you had it in the bank !! All of a sudden I dont look so stupid for not taking the position. Now its plain to see that it was smart for me not to take the position. If we get the research back then the rest of the guys will never be allowed to research fish ever again. That will mean that I become the only choice for research trips ill train a new crew and be at the top of the research crew. So there is an outside chance that I wiil come out of this smelling like a rose. Only time will tell, we'll see !!

I hope this all works out for you.

I am pulling for you mentally.

Started to go through the bottle caps from yesterday. Glad I did, this little black clump was fused to the back of a bottle cap !! Its a silver chain, its all balled up and fused together. Im dissolving all the shells now. Hefty little chunk. I would have thrown it out if I didnt double check. This hobby never ceases to amaze me !!!

Oh ya.......196 bottle caps, and 30+pulltabs
 

Thats what I do Bart.Go through my findings at home. Because, #1 I never find anything really good.And # 2 I never find anything really good.
 

Folks,

Just scored 6 lbs of sour cherries from a house in our neighborhood. On one of my daily walks noticed this tree loaded with fruit and about 2:30 went over and as luck would have it the owner was home and on the way out somewhere.

They usually make jam with them but this year being new parents don't have the time so I offered some jam in return for the free berries ain't bartering great.

Picture to follow.

Bart,

Here's another one for you so today's your day song wise.

 

Bart,

When the shtf you were probably feeling like this.....:tongue3::tongue3::tongue3:

 

Bart,

I've been mulling over your dilema and as me and everyone else says we hope it all gets sorted out to your benefit.

My gut tells me if I were in your shoes I'd slowly shift my efforts and energies towards the lumber yard operation.

A couple of reasons is it's your baby so you get to call the shots also most of the revenues flow back into your pocket and not the boss man.

Nothing to stop you from still doing some fishing when the dust settles but maybe more as a hired gun rather than your prime source of income. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Besides you get to have my crazy marketing ideas for free....:laughing9::laughing9::laughing9:
 

Folks... have a good night.

hold down the ship.

G night.
