The last 10 years went by incredibly fast... It's time for a change... After July 4th, I will no longer be employed by CT Outfitters. I made a lot of friends there and will miss many of the customers I grew to know. That said, I look forward to the future, whatever that brings. See you on the water!

Saw your post on FB. We all wish you the best in your future endeavors. I am sure you will let us know when its time what the next step is. I got a feeling you have something cooking.
Time marches on. I remember meeting an IT guy in a shirt and tie at a CCA meeting in Windsor 10 years ago.
Best of luck in your next adventure Blaine.
I remember ice fishing many days one season years ago with a laid off IT guy who was talking about making a go of it in the fishing industry.
You have come along way Blaine !!!
looking forward to seeing what you do next.
I also remember when CTO was just a hole in the wall people where afraid to visit because of the neighborhood,look at the place now,one of the premier tackle shops in CT !

As my last shift winds down, I'm looking around at what we've accomplished here at CTO and I can say for sure that we've come a long way. I'm very proud to have been a part of it! You can be assured, I will find something within the fishing industry. Until then, I'll be fishing more than ever! Thanks to all for the kind words.
Keep the God's Lake posts coming!!! Best of luck in whatever you do.
You can say anything foolish to a dog, and that dog will still give you a look that says, "WOW!! What a great idea!! I never would have thought of that!!"
Some people are born on third base, then spend the rest of their lives thinking they hit a triple.
Time for a change? When I first read the topic I thought you were going to declare yourself a new Yankee fan. Best of luck and best wishes on your future plans. Thank you for the fishing advise and tips you've given me over the years. Dave W.
Good luck to you, I always enjoy your posts. The fishing industry has alot to offer, Good Luck.

Believe it or not, I have no plans at the moment. I will continue to charter but am currently looking for a job within the fishing industry. I have a couple of exciting prospects looming but nothing official yet.
Hard to imagine such a thing exists! Contender????? Yellowfin? It's really exciting to see people living their dreams! I think we could all learn a thing or two from guys like you, t-man, etc.
Good luck Blaine in what ever the future holds. My girls still talked about the trip they took with you. Now I'll be able to share it with my grand daughter. Best of luck.
