Capt Dean sorely missed

papio

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.

Captain Dean is a great captain. I really enjoyed fishing with him. He has a passion for catching fish and pleasing his customers.

No doubt about it, Capt. Dean had a passion for putting his anglers on the fish, lots of skill in doing so and little tolerance for slow fishing. He saved more than a few trips by quick-thinking, extraordinarily broad fishing know-how and the energy to put in second and third efforts. And, of course, on occasion, he solved problems larger than uncooperative fish.

Here's a toast to a Capt who did the job well for many years. I'm sure the same urge to success and mastery of his craft will stand him in good stead wherever he goes. Thanks, Dean.

One of my very best trips was a TAG 60-hr on the Dolphin with Capt. Dean! I'll raise my glass as well!

I fished a 60 hr with Capt. Dean and we had a free for all of yft at boomvang and nansen. Both day and night. He's another excellent Cpt. He made that slow boat ride worth the trip.

One of the best Capt. I ever fish with, always work hard to put his customers on fish.

TAG trip was one of the best tuna trip, I can agree with that.

Can someone post where Capt Dean is now?

He supposedly transport workers to and from the oil rigs/platforms making much much more than what DDocks paid him.
