I started out as an Electrician out of Local 508 in Savannah Georgia. Then about 10 years ago I went to work for CSX rail road BRS Local 16. I opperate a hobby size buisness making turkey calls and deer grunts in the spare time I dont have and now I've decided to try my hand at making my own Crappy baits. There are a lot of baits out there but the never seen to make the color you want to fish with. Now I dont have to worrie about it. My call site is www.rrmcc.com if you care to look around.

I enjoyed reading through these. After reading so many posts by everyone, as well as getting so much advice from everyone, I feel like I already know a lot of you. For someone that just started out pouring their baits this forum has been extremely helpful.

I am 27 years old and have been teaching 7th grade math for the past 5 years. My wife, Jennifer, and I are truly blessed to have just had our first son, Easton.

I am also the coordinator of a Hunting and Fishing club for our middle school students at school. This gives a lot of students opportunities that they may not get at home to learn about and appreciate the outdoors.

I have a true passion for the outdoors. In the spring and summer I love to fish and in the winter I'm in my deer stand. The outdoors has been a major part of my life. I have pictures of my dad changing my diaper in his Norris Craft boat when I could barely even walk and taking me squirrel hunting when I couldn't even hold a gun.

Dad worked 3rd shift and would still find time, even after working all night, to give me opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors and to spend quality time with him. I am truly blessed to have him and I hope to be that same role model for my son.

I am a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer. In other words I am licensed to maintain aircraft. I live in Durban, South Africa, but I am currently on a two year work contract in Maun in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. I work at Northern Air where we maintain a fleet of 53 aircraft that fly tourists into the bush camps in the Okavango Delta. Our Aircraft fly an average of 100 hours every three weeks. Our hangars are open seven days a week, 365 days a year.



I also own and operate Reef Inmates which specializes in marine aquariums and reef aquarium lighting systems. For those interested you can take a look at www.reefinmates.co.za The website is designed, published and maintained by myself.

Next on the list is a laser engraving and cutting company I set up for my wife to run www.laser-max.co.za The website is another one of mine.

I am also a NAUI scuba dive instructor and a small craft skipper rated to 40 nautical miles off shore. I own and operate a dedicated dive boat taking dive charters off Durban.

My dive boat on the beach in Durban.



I love all things to do with water, deep sea fishing, fresh water fishing, scuba diving etc and while I am working in the Okavango I get to go fishing every weekend. We have some awesome fish here in Africa.

[Denny Welch]

Hey Dennis...good looking website.  We have so many turkeys around my place we don't need a turkey call because we call them by name..."Hey, Henry (short for Henrietta) get out of the garden"..."Where did you get all those babies, Glory?"  Well, you get the idea.  Welcome to the forum.

[Jason]

Cool pics Reef.  Thank you for sharing.

Otis,

I come from a family of electricians, but only know enough personally to be dangerous.  My Dad and one of his buddies came down and wired our shop.  He has done a lot of work in nuclear facilities and basically wired it to the same standard.  I am super proud of the job they did, it is a constant reminder to me of him.  The conduit looks more like art than an industrial application.   Super cool gift.

Court,

Vince does something along the same lines.  Having that much responsibility is way to much stress for me...  You guys must have ice running through your veins.
