Captain Whit and Les Shan (NJ) w/India's 1st Halibut




Week ending 2/28/10... New Web site design just in time for 2010... Hope you all enjoy our new website layout and design. We have not had a face lift since we began the business thirteen years ago. I take pride in our site, both because we built it ourselves and because I believe it has so much great content. I'm really greatful that so many of you have kept abreast of our comings and goings over all these years. I hope you like and find the new layout much more manageable.

Many of you know Captain Whit's youngest mate Eric, turns out his mom is a accomplished software engineer and web site designer. Anyway, Lori's been kind enough to work with me over the last few weeks to bring us into the 21st century. As you peruse around the site, you'll find that things pop up faster and are much easier to find and manage.She has incorporated the latest software technology so that the younger folks and a few of you suave old timers will be able to access content pictures and videos on your new blackberry's and I pods.

I'll have a little learning curve over the next month or so, but soon you'll be able to do a whole bunch of new stuff, like subscribing to the log to get automatic updates on offshore openings, text with other guests on line etc,etc,etc...Keep posted. Were so greatfull to Lori for her help, as the site develops, you may wish to request her help for your own business development. I be glad to put you in touch.Please let me know what you think of the site and if you have any suggestions of your own.

Reservations for this season began Saturday morning amidst the latest winter storm. Despite wide spread power outages across the Northeast, including no land line phone connection at our office, we did exceptionally well for opening day. Thank you all so much.

This week our welder Paul Wallace(NH) has begun modifying Gath IV's handhold's and rails to improve safety for our crew when putting her anchor down. Jeanette continues her steady pace repairing lures, making flys, and putting together guest logs for the 2010 season. Little Dennis is hard at it repairing Indi's rudder bearing, Frank and I are repairing poles and getting ready to pour some 16 oz. Burkett Jigs.We will begin our interior paintwork of the cabin houses in the next 10 days..We'll keep you posted. Thanks Satchie
