The last 10 years went by incredibly fast... It's time for a change... After July 4th, I will no longer be employed by CT Outfitters. I made a lot of friends there and will miss many of the customers I grew to know. That said, I look forward to the future, whatever that brings. headbanger1 See you on the water!

Blaine was nice seeing you there. Always courteous and helpful. Good luck to you in all your future endeavors.
If I fish more I need more lures. If I had more lures I would fish more. I don't think I'm addicted do you?

You have come along way Blaine !!!

I also remember when CTO was just a hole in the wall people where afraid to visit because of the neighborhood,look at the place now,one of the premier tackle shops in CT !

As my last shift winds down, I'm looking around at what we've accomplished here at CTO and I can say for sure that we've come a long way. I'm very proud to have been a part of it! You can be assured, I will find something within the fishing industry. Until then, I'll be fishing more than ever! Thanks to all for the kind words.
