Hello from Saint Croix!

What a great site!  Old dog here to learn some new tricks. And some old ones.

Have a couple of older Penn spinners (7500 @ 9500 ss, USA) for shore and kayak fishing that I try to keep going. 

Just jumped back into fishing after about a 40 year intermittent  pause.

Welcome Jim, looking forward to some photos from the Islands....Bill from the Sacramento Delta
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Welcome Jim.  I want to retire to the US Virgins.  What is the economic climate?  Is it expensive to live there?  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Thanks everyone!  

Some great information  here!

Dominick - it can be pretty expensive.  Figure they ship just  about everything  in, so it adds up.  

Housing isn't that bad, but the salt air here adds to maintenance costs for sure.

We're  part of the  US, but as a territory they pretty  much govern themselves.   Government here has a good  dose of corruption,  and economically,  they are probably  going to head toward insolvency  in the next few years.  Good people though. And bargains  can be had.   Rum is cheap for sure.

Great fishing,  diving and boating, as you might expect.

Hi, Jim! 

I grew up on St. Thomas (1958-1964) and of course visited St. Croix many times, often staying at Hotel on the Cay in Christiansted. Fond memories!  :)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

Welcome!

I was in St Croix on a cruise. Snorkeled the Buck Island reefs. The coral was dead, so sorry to see! The refinery had just shut down so I imagine the economy isn't doing so good.
When I was your age Pluto was a planet!

Welcome Jim!!!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Welcome aboard Jim.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D
