Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
4/21/20 - It's hard to believe it's been almost 2 years since I have updated this page. The fishing business was a huge part of my life for 14 years, and it's hard to believe that I have stepped away, or taken a bit of a hiatus for almost 2 years. Well, just to let all of you know, I'm still here. And, I'm still fishing.... more than ever now!
With that said, reelclassfishing.com is going to take on a new form, and it will get a new lease on life as NOT a charter boat website for me to promote my business, but for me to share pics, info, and fishing reports AS A FISHERMAN. So, over the next few weeks, I will be uploading pics from all of 2018, 2019, and what I have so far for 2020. I will also be uploading some reports and info in the reports section.
And yes, I am still boat shopping. I was very close to purchasing something a couple of months back, but with covid on the horizon and all the "social distancing" things starting to take place, I decided to forego that idea.
So please, be patient, and please take a moment to go back through all the pics, reports, and other items here that are archived, and please, when they are posted, take a look at the NEW pics that I will be posting!
7/1/18 - In the spirit of always being transparent, here's our latest update!
This morning, the Henriques which we purchased in 2014 left Clark's Landing headed North up to New Hampshire with its new owners. We wish them NOTHING but the best with this boat!
For us, this boat was very good to us for almost 4 years. It's size, it's stability, it's seaworthiness, and overall it's room were a great asset and we killed MANY fish with this boat.
But, as is the case with any boat, and any boat owner can sympathize, the cost of running this boat really began to outweigh the revenue that it generated. In good faith, I could not raise my charter and open boat fares to insane levels just to compensate for the cost of running this boat. I found myself in the engine room and bilge multiple times per week, especially last season, and it got to a point where I couldn't keep up. Finally Thanksgiving weekend last year we had a major issue, had to cancel our trips, and that issue was finally fully resolved just a few weeks ago after months of work by GREAT diesel mechanics that basically rebuilt my entire starboard motor. As was the case back in May, the buyers that emerged back in the winter stayed with us all along through the ups and downs and we were able to work things out with them.
This is NOT the end for us, we're simply closing a chapter in our history. This is what happens, and sometimes decisions are easy to make, sometimes they're tough, for me, this decision was EASY.
Kenny and Eric have been with me all along with this and there will be more to come.... My goal is to return to our roots somewhat, in getting a boat that has more versatility and more speed; something we can take places we couldn't with the Henriques and still have a great fishing platform. Yes, I have something in mind :)
So with that said, consider this a mere hiatus, as we are going to take our time in doing our due diligence in investing in a boat that will serve us well in the present and in the future, as fisheries, regulations, and our lives change. So stay with us, and be patient!
....Onto the next chapter!
