Wow, thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I just retired 12/31/2019 from Fleet Readiness Center East, located on Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC, and I'm a full time gardener, fisherman (although I have not gone this year), and artist.

I just bought a really nice inflatable pontoon boat, ane electric motor. The only fishing I've done in the last 20 or so years has been in Alaska. We lived there for a few years besides making 18 vacation trips before and after living there. So I haven't fished for crappie or bream in probably 40 years, which is crazy since my favorite fish to eat is crappie, with bream running a close second.
