- Background
- Growing up, people in our community called me a “pier rat”. I spent many nights fishing from the famous Indian Rocks Beach pier. My friends and I as well as other beach kids would fish all night for shark and then go to school the next morning. There is nothing quite like trying to pay attention in school with no sleep and visions of a “big one” at the end of my line dancing in my head. While Hurricane Elana destroyed the pier in 1985, the pier rats are still around, and many of us are still close friends to this day. I obtained my captain’s license in 1986 and it was one of the most exciting days of my life. It allowed me to share my love of the water with others.
