Cast of Characters #5















THE CREW... *pictures by Garett

I think it would be wise to say that these guys are the 2nd most important people out here.  You're only as good as your crew right?  This year we have 3 really great guys.  Adam (on the bottom) has been here all summer.  He is from Ohio.  I think he kind of likes it here - haha
The guy above in the orange life vest is Adam's brother, Austin.  He arrived a little over a week ago, joining us right when the fishing really started.  It was also when the kelp arrived, the storm, damaged, and loose nets.  He's really been thrown right into it.  Justin is the fellow up top in the white shirt.  I believe he has an octopus in the bucket that he is holding up.  (a post about that will come soon)  Justin is a returnee.  He fished for us 2 summers ago and has come back for some more!  He got here about a day after Austin.  We love having experienced crew come back.   Makes it much easier for Bryan.  

I am looking at these pictures and see a common characteristic - facial hair!  Besides seeing how many pancakes they can eat at one sitting, guys often grow out their beards.  Just for the fun of it!  

Thanks to all you family members who helped/supported your sons (and hubby) to come here.  We really appreciate it and I hope that they are getting something out of it in return.

  1. I tell you, that Justin character is one good looking fisherman! I am so happy that you all have allowed us to follow you throughout your journeys this summer. The blog is such a great idea! Garrett, you are doing a terrific job with all of the pictures. I think you have a talent for photography!! Wishing you all the best and far less kelp in your nets!

    PS- Is Bryan also involved in the facial hair competition??

  2. What a handsome group of fishermen you have this season. We are really carried away with the Justin guy. It is good to see a picture of him there. We are so glad that he chose to fish with you again this year. Thanks for all you do for him to make his time away from home a happy one. Keep pulling in those nets full of fish, Justin. The Gaineys

  3. We do have a pretty good looking crew! Maybe I should make a calendar for some charity :) I thought Garett did a good job with the pictures. He's a lucky kid to have such a nice camera - thanks Papa! As far as Bryan goes...he has a wife out here and I like him to shave :)
