I just wrote this wonderful letter of explanation/apology then lost it. Let me see if i can remember what i wrote.

I agree with you 100%: It is all about attitude.

I will usually try to feign enthusiasm on the boat, and believe that i did a pretty good job of this trip. It was probably the holding of it all in, and the lack of sleep, that was in my earlier post. The intent of the post was not to slam any anglers, or to talk bad about anyone, it was humor, and i seem to have miserably failed again.

I DO NOT WANT TO COME ACROSS AS ANY OTHER PUNK DECKHAND! I am not one, ask anyone who has fished with me. I do not want this string to turn into a deckie vs angler debate: I am on the anglers side.

Again, the attempt at this morning's post was humor, and i blew it. I did not mean to slam anyone, or offend anyone.

I only argued with one customer all trip. He was trying to tell me that sheephead is better meat than lobster. Oh yea, we yelled. ;)

Please, feel free to e-mail me
