Time for a change... - 07/01/13 05:12 PM

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!

I remember ice fishing many days one season years ago with a laid off IT guy who was talking about making a go of it in the fishing industry.


You have come along way Blaine !!!

looking forward to seeing what you do next.


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.

Believe it or not, I have no plans at the moment. I will continue to charter but am currently looking for a job within the fishing industry. I have a couple of exciting prospects looming but nothing official yet.

Hard to imagine such a thing exists! Contender????? Yellowfin?
It's really exciting to see people living their dreams! I think we could all learn a thing or two from guys like you, t-man, etc.
