What Boat/Crew do you look up to?

nb&twil · 11-11-2011, 09:15 AM

In the bass world, everyone has their favorite angler and will frequently use the same tackle as that pro. Or it's common for people to flock to a certain bait after someone wins a tournament on it (like this new A-rig that won 2 tournaments in a row).
I grew up walking the docks and there were always a few captains that I would just love talking to and would grab every morsel of advice they would share. Certain boats just had a "swagger" about them and we would always tend to gravitate towards their methods or tackle.
Do you guys have anyone like that? Some boats that come to mind as trendsetters in our area are the Dreamin' On, Bluewater Cat, and High C's out of Orange Beach. Dataman seemed to command a great deal of respect in the Pensacola area.
As for individuals, Creighton Parker was always someone that I wanted to learn more from. He was on of the better king fishing guys I knew of. I sure wish I could have spent more time getting to know him and his tactics.
I just got to wondering this morning, who are some of the guys that you looked up to and would try whatever they recommended? What are the boats that everyone dreams of?

I'm gonna have to say Gene and Tim also. They are great guy's and good at what they do. They really make ya feel at home when your around them. When I grow up I want to be just like em.

They have really helped me out and taught me a lot.

Ole Cliff's alright too.

Recess. They are just really great people.

Wow. Out of 6 replies, 5 of them speak highly of Recess. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting the crew, but I love keeping up with your reports guys!

Deeplines · 11-12-2011, 06:17 AM

I don't know about the crews because I haven't meet all of them but I sure look foward to the following reports.

Team Recess, Just thier sucess and amount of posts leave you in awe.

The Adams (Nothing Matters) I'm gonna charter that boat one day, well as soon as I'm done with all this studying for the Capn test. I want to take my dad out and catch some of them BIG fish since I am unable to do it.

And the retired navy guys out of Sherman Cove. The just know how to type a report. That looks like a fun fishing trip every time.

That would be Ed and his crew on Shur Catch...also another really successful group of fishermen and nice folks.
