Capt Dean sorely missed |
|
|
|
Just did a 48hr on the Dolphin which use to be my favorite PB when Capt Dean was at the helm. The new skipper and his backup has got their work cut out for them and they have a difficult act to follow. Needless to say, they did not make a strong effort to find fish for it's customers. Does it makes any sense to hook up to a rig and after 45 minutes of catching nothing to zero only to have the captain announce "reel em up I hardly marked any fish anyway". These rookies have challenges ahead of them and i wish them luck, i guess they did not learn much from the previous captain.
I do wish to thank Capt Dean for his great effort and dedication, making it possible for all who fished with him a wonderful catching experience. Thanks for the memories Capt Dean  and goodbye Dolphin. |

Tom ... this statement is about as accurate as I know. When he left I was told he was going to drive a crewboat for more money. Same with Marvin Horner - DSH. Now I'm not sure if it's not just as much the fact that some of the PB captains aren't getting in as many trips/hours as they need to in order to fill out that paycheck. I've known other PB captains in the past that have left for crewboat jobs and eventually come back. The oilfield exploration in the gulf looks to be fairly active for the near future so there may be more of this happening until it slows back down. With the proposed Red Snapper season of June 1 to September 30 for next year it's sure to put more cramps on the PB people. It's a shame. . |

More Bad News ....
Shortly after posting the above I learned that Captain Tim is gone too .... or in the process of leaving. Same reason .... took a crewboat job. Tim and Dean were two top flight captains that the fishing world will miss.
Bummer. |

Papio .... Here's the way I heard it from someone a lot closer to them than me. A few months ago Timmie (son) got a job as a roustabout offshore. Tim remarked to this particular party that his 20 year old son was making $20,000 per year more than him. I guess that's motivation to get moving, huh?  |
