5/25/03 FISHING BUDDY RESUME/INTERVIEW |
|
|
|
Practically begged guys to go fishing - The "Old Man" went out of town. Ended up with SWMBO out on Seagull Pier (she felt sorry for me but doesn't do boats) instead of out by the pilings jigging for stripers. From 1 am to 6:30 am and can only claim 5 croakers (the one used for live striper bait had it's tail bit off by a blue, the cut bait disappeared without a trace and the live eel just kept sliming up everything.
SO. Taking resumes and conducting interviews for the position of Fishing Buddy.
Position Description: |
|
|
|
I have an 18.5 ft BowRider with 130 I/O out of Virginia Beach. Will fish for just about anything that swims. Have to pick my days, but got a pretty good pick most of the time, 'cept lately like a lot of folks out this way. Don't mind getting wet, just don't like lightning or 3+ seas. Weekend day/night trips available. Only 4 major rules. 1) No Illegal Drugs [if you are like me, you may be a walking pharmacy as long as it's all prescription]; 2) No Booze [leastwise, not on the boat only as a safety issue. I'm not a teetotaler, just personally believe it's more appropriate after the trip]; 3) No Illegal Fish [need that $500 per each fish for bait and gas]; 4) New Guy Buys Breakfast [although I haven't been able to make that one stick]. I quit smoking several months ago, but I'm not preachy about it and so don't mind if you do. Smoke that is, not preach. OK. You can BE a preacher, just don't BE preaching when you should be fishing. |

Position Benefits: |
|
|
|
All the fish you can catch, plus most of mine [with the exception of an occasional flounder for SWMBO and a couple of fish for friends once in a while, you are welcome to most of the fish I catch as well as ALL of yours. I don't keep most of the fish I catch cuz i don't eat much fresh fish - "eatin'" fish comes from a fast food store on a bun]. Fresh Air. My ascerbic wit [hey, ya gotta take the bad with the good]. If the Old Man is outta town, you get the whole bow, with padded seats, all to yourself. When he's on board, you get your choice of port/starboard aft deck and control of the radio volume. |

Position Requirements: |
|
|
|
Fishing License. Fishing Gear. No experience required [but what you have, you share]. Available on short notice [i.e., I plan Saturday on Wednesday or Thursday, not last month]. Fishing is more important than live football [or any other useless sport that doesn't involve immediate family members, unless you are willing to listen to cars zooming down the track on the radio - am/fm/cd on board]. Abide by the 4 rules listed above [ok, exceptions to rule 4 may be provided for the right individual]. Willing to perform the following: |
|
|
|
a) Cut your own bait - then share
b) Bait your own hook
c) Get that cow ray off the boat your own darned self
d) Man the net even if it isn't your catch
e) Operate the boat to keep us off the pilings when I'm fighting a really big croaker
f) Share your snack if I think it looks especially tempting. |

Interview Information: |
|
|
|
If your SWMBO is anything like mine, you won't be allowed to go off with someone you just met on the internet unless you can prove that he/she is not a pervert out for your body or a sicko out to kill you for your watch. Therefore, I highly recommend you bring the following to your interview appointment: |
|
|
|
1) Your Wife. If you have one. Your girlfriend, otherwise. If you have one of each, please leave at least one of them at home for the first interview so you don't confuse me or make me jealous.
2) Your Kids. That's assuming you've made every attempt to get a baby sitter and they are all out fishing.
3) Your Dog. Ok, no chihuahuas. No cats, parrots, ferrets, rabbits, skunks or monkeys. I won't be impressed. Bring your own pooper scooper, I don't provide. If you have pet fish, they will be bait next week. Please don't act surprised or offended.
4) If you bring other relatives/friends/neighbors, bring drinks and snacks. I like parties. |
