I worked on offshore oiI boats in 1969 after leaving the Marine Corps.  Received my 1st. Master's license in 1984.  Former commercial fisherman.  
Viet Nam veteran (USMC).  Easy-going Cajun.  In my culture, when you are old enough to walk, you're going fishing!  My ancestors have been
fishing the Gulf of Mexico for over 200 years.  I'm happy when you're reeling away at something that would rather stay in the sea.  Former
utility-boat captain in the Louisiana offshore oil-fields, navigator for LORAC Services Corp, captain for TransWorldServices.  I have been looking at
water most of my life (except for a brief time in the jungle; grunt in 2nd. battalion, 4th marines).  I offer a relaxed affordable day on the water for
those who need a day of no stress on a laid-back & personal fishing trip.  Most of my regulars are retirees.  Member,  Disabled American Veterans

My last command in the Louisiana off-shore oil-fields
No experience necessary.  Novices and pros are welcome.
An interesting site by a local sailor,
adventurer and author.  His latest
novel is one that you won't be able
to put down 'till you finish it.
One of the differences between me
and my cat is that he knows all that
he needs to know.   And if he REALLY
needs to know something else, he
tends to learn it a lot faster.
Cut a few holes in
the next box that
arrives
in your house.   
Your cat will love
it.

I use to fish with friends in an area about 19 miles out, west of St. Pete Beach, 65-70 ft. deep.  We always came home with a LOT of
grouper, snapper and grunt.  If you can get out there, try the area around 27 44.3 north,  83 09.5 west.  It's a large area of coral
bottom with a lot of fish.  Move a little if you don't catch a reef fish in about 5 minutes.
WE CRUISE THE INTRA-COASTAL WATERWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR TILL WE REACH
THE GULF OF MEXICO.  WE TROLL OUT TO THE FISHING GROUNDS, BOTTOM FISH
FOR OVER 3 HOURS, THEN TROLL BACK TO THE PASS, TRAVEL THROUGH THE
INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, RETURNING TO THE MARINA AT
ABOUT 4 PM.  ABOUT 6 HOURS OF FISHING TIME, TOTAL.  THE SPANISH & KING
MACKEREL SHOWN WERE CAUGHT WHILE TROLLING.
CUSTOM CHARTERS ARE ONLY $60 AN HOUR.
$480 is the TOTAL COST of your charter for
up to 6 people.  
$430 is the total cost for prepaid charters.

No deposit is required.  I can not accept

"CAJUN" is a gov't surplus ex-navy "Admirals' Barge" personnel carrier. I bought her from
the gov't totally stripped.  I transferred 2 diesel engines from my old wood boat, installed
new reduction gears (transmissions), all electronics, hydraulic steering, autopilot, all
electrics, fuel tanks, windshield, overhead, DC and AC electrical systems, etc. myself.  
$0 labor costs.   Fuel cumsumption is always under 20 gallons/day of diesel.  
Cosmetically, she is still a work in progress.
