I am available

[waynofish]

Sorry for the repost, as there are a few items I would like to clearify but I can't edit so the moderator can feel free to delete my previous post. Thanks.

This is to inform anyone who is looking for a mate who knows me, or doesn't, that I am no longer with Watson on the "Dealers Choice". It has been a very good opperation for the last 3 seasons in Costa Rica, but this year the boat will not be returning. So I am looking for work. I state this because whenever I bring up that I am looking, people are surprised that I am not on the boat and automatically assume that I am still employed on the "Dealers Choice". I know I am just another name amongst a long list of others in this situation at the moment but clearing up the fact that I am looking might just put me in the line for being hired. Likewise, another misconception of me is that I am only looking for something in C.R.. That is not true as I am only limited by flight schedules and asphalt as to where I can go. I am also very flexible on pay and have no problem covering my own expenses on getting to where I need to be.

I've said it before, but will say so again- Wayne is first class and an excellent fisherman.

I would gladly provide a reference for him at any time- I have fished with him in the Mid Atlantic, Venezuela and Costa Rica.

Good luck in the job hunt Amigo Wayne

[WAHOONBOX]

DANG SWEET RESUME YOU HAVE HERE...I HAVE FISHED AGAINST THE DEALERS CHOICE A TIME OR TWELVE

I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE COMEBACK REPLY....WILL WASH BOATS ETC...

DON'T GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE EARNED BRO....GOOD TALENT I$ HARD TO FIND!

[waynofish]

Still available. Picked up a tournament in C.R. and a short trip to Panama in January but that is it. If something more permanent were to come along they have given me the OK to take it (they would get someone else). Nothing else so I am still available for the long haul. If anyone needs somebody for Cancun or Isla (or anywhere else for that matter), I have no problem covering my own airfair to where I would be needed since I am in Costa Rica.

[Current Affair]

If anybody needs a mate or a captain, Mr. Blanks is the man you want. He is a great fisherman with tons of experience and he keeps a boat looking like it just came out the factory. I highly recommend Wayne to anyone looking for a crew member.

At least I salvaged January on the "new" Dealers Choice (a 2005 45 CABO) but due to the economy there is no position for a "gringo" full time. So I am still available. Just trying to keep this up top.
