A new summer once again in yet another new port.

[mattmishler]

A lot of you guys see my post on here for the last 3-4 years, of trying to get a mate job, acutely getting one and posting reports of my time that I spend fishing with Craig Kent of Killin’ Time Charters in Manisee. Ed posted that I am now officially a USCG charter captain, I didn’t want to spread to many details with my new venture had some details that were up and not finalized yet; now I can ,I am now moving to Grand Haven to be part of Danel Sportfishing with Captain Dana Bonney of the 2nd boat at Chinook Pier. The boat its self is a 1998 330 wellcraft coastal, a very sweet ride for a 18 year old fresh captain. I am very eager to see if I can keep up with the big boys.

That should be a blast for you Matt. I know Jake had a lot of fun, and some really good action last year fishing out of G.H.

Best of luck to you.

Well...welcome to the lower bowl, or at least the edge of it. GH is great and Danel is an awesome local boat. I'm sure you will enjoy it...just be careful...grand haven has lots of "local attractions" that can distract from fishing.

Tip of the capt's. cap to new Capt. Matt, knew you could do it. GH is a very busy port, good luck and success in your new job. Don't forget to visit your friends up north.

Jim gave him the 1st option, but Jake decided to not spend the summer in South Haven.

[Paulywood]

Good luck Matt! You should have a lot of GLF company to the north and south.

Welcome to the port Matt. Maybe I can run over your lines as a welcome or something Just Kidding

Best of luck with the new venture. I'm sure you'll be on the water more than I will, but if you need anything drop a line.
