Re: Cape Man's Dory
For the past 8 years I have served as the auctioneer for the annual Aquaculture meeting which raises funds for the National Aquaculture Association, and.have donated a fishing trip on Clara each year. For some unknown reason it has turned into a top seller! Today I took Elizabeth and Dave from Arizona out for an $1800 half-day trip. Elizabeth is a top grade scientist working for a company that makes vaccines for agricultural animals and Dave is a retired fraud investigator for the FBI. They both caught fish, not a lot, but Clara was her usual self.

With no slight to Clara at all I am pretty darn sure it is not the boat that makes the trip but rather the man running it.

Awesome cape man!

The fishing was slow to horrible but the company was spot on. We killed a bottle of good Venezuela rum and solved all the world's problems.
