Planning on trying out Wesport Sportfishing for the 1rst time. Want to take out my 13 yr old nephew. Sounds like a deal, and kid is real good out on the Sound and rivers. The light tackle aspect is very appealing. I always bring my own anyhow, and mostly they want ya to drop down with 10 oz. Every boat I've ever been on fishes differently, and I even clued some skippers in to stuff I had seen on other boats and in other fisheries. Thinking that I used to go out on El Tigre which is now in Ak, Prime Time who is also gone I think, but he was great, The Deluxe, and Coho Charters' Shenandoah's (sp?) sister ship whose name I disremember at this point. The captains are usually way better than the deckhands, and yeah, I bait my own hooks, anybody else's if they're busy, undo bird's nests for newbies, unpin my fish, and let the greenest guy on board reel up the last one of the day. Then still tip my deckhand. Only bad trip (just knocked wood) was when I overslept and didn't make it out to the boat in time. Two State Troopers slowed me down a little, for a while.
