My (re)introduction

[rizzoads]

Even though I've been a member here for going on 2 years, I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been a frequent contributor to Box's world. I just finished grad school, so I've finally started to get a little more free time to talk fishing and learn from all of you fine fishermen. I intend to become a regular around here, and hopefully one day I can return the favor for all the things that I've learned from reading this message board.

I had the pleasure of fishing with a few of you, including Marty, in the spring of 2008. If you've seen the video Marty posted of the crew bailing water out of the floor of the boat back in March 08, you probably saw me getting in somebody's way. While that was the first and only time I've fished with any of you guys, I hope it won't be the last. That includes you, Box... I can't pay for a full charter, so one of these days I'm going to have to get in on a make-up charter on the black boat or something. The answer to your frequent question is a resounding "YES! I do want some of that action!"

This is just my long-winded way of saying "Hello!" and that it's nice to kick back after a day at work and live vicariously through some of you pros.

I posted my first fishing report in over a year this past weekend. If I can make the schedule work, I'm hoping to get out to the deep on Sunday to put the steel in some more wahoos. If I do, I'll definitely share my experience again. Everybody keep up the good work! We weekend warriors depend on you guys to keep feeding our addictions all week long!

Welcome "back" rizzoads. Congratulations on your Graduation. With a little luck that education will eventually help you afford all the bluewater action you can stand!
