I saw jonh on the water a couple years ago and it was like an apparition. We used to see each other out there all the time, but a lot has happened since the early years of CTF.

I too fish a fraction of what I used to, both inshore and offshore. I now have a "real" job, which means I travel the world and if not traveling, commute to Watertown from Old Saybrook most days. I got remarried 4 years(and want to spend time with this wife ) and have become a grandfather. (Nick the Fluke Slayer is a father now !!)

I guess the old CTF guard is getting older and our lives have become more complicated.
