Title: hello!! i am finally on board!
Post by: jethro on June 05, 2019, 05:05:50 PM
from grand isle louisiana on the beautiful gulf of mexico, i have been watching this board for about 4 years picking up so much useful information that i feel humbled to be a part of it now.  i do a good bit of offshore fishing for everything we have.  i repair reels for the wildlife and fisheries research department, so i have to make a fair amount of lemonade out of lemons, because it is nearly impossible to get funding for reel repair. i am a captain with LDWF in charge of a few boats, largest one being a 54 foot catamaran for research.  i hope i can contribute to the board.  thank you in advance and hope to get in on the action asap.

Welcome from S. Florida. Even though you work in/for Louisiana. I am sure you will be a great asset for general fisheries questions.
