Hi Everyone I am Tom a new member to SUF. Today I had the opportunity to attend my first live (lunch n' learn) and it reassured me that my decision to become a member was the right choice. I've had the opportunity to view some of the past pod cast, quick tips and live sessions and I am excited about the information that is being shared. YES I would like to be considered for a boater position in the angler development program. I like to tell everyone that I am in the end of 3rd year of my 5 year apprenticeship for my new career. its something I want to do for the rest of my life.  I think this opportunity will be the valuable scaffolding that i will need to succeed and develop. A road map/guide to help me focus in the right direction. a mentorship.  and maybe explain why not once but twice my CO put 13-15lbs in the boat behind me while i struggled to put 10lbs in the boat. I'm excited to get this season started as soon as the water softens some here on the north coast/ Lake Erie (North East Ohio) and to answer your question B-Lat "what do we do for 4 months of not fishing?" we replace split rings/ hooks on our baits. 😁
