Occupation
artdealer / travel agent / guide
just saying "Hello"
a nearlly 55y old art dealer & former travel agent (specialisized in Big Game fishing). Destinations: Kenya (Malindi, where allready Hemingway fished & Lake Victoria, with its Giant Nile Perches), Egypt, Portugal, Azores, Cap Verde, Down Under, Great Britain
Worked also some time as manager of a fishing lodge in Malindi (African Sun Club) and Guide(introduced soft lures & birds over there).
Married, got a son, had to earn money, so I had to pause with saltwater fishing.
(filled the time with some "Mini-Monster" Freshwater Fishing for carps up to 25kg and european catfish up to 7 ft)
Now (my son is grown up & my wife is going their own ways) I'm sparing some money and wait for my heritage to fullfill my dream:
a used 30ft twin diesel flybridge for charter in Costa Rica (Osa would be perfect), with livebait Well / Tunatubes, Down- Out- & Center Riggers, Underwaterlights (Broadbill), Chumming Station (Shark).
Trolling Live Bait or Softlures (Moldcraft and Pakula), stand up fishing with Wasabi equipment & vertical jigging
With Pakula I would also be interested, what the Dojo Peche Hybrids could effect Inshore (instead Poppers) and Offshore (Tunas?)
Because I'm experienced in the travel agent bussiness in Europe and especially Germany, I would like to push a little bit this market.
I would also consider a partnership with somebody at place.
Still dreams, but I work on them and who knows.....
