Well as requested I would like to introduce myself...
My name is Chris Wertanen and I grew up fishing w/ my dad like many of us did. I caught my first Walleye when I was four on a snoopy Zebco combo, over on the East side of Michigan. My Dad and I mainly fished back in the late 70's early 80's out of St. Joe and South Haven, with an annual trip to the U.P. He passed away when I was 16 and I kind of got away from fishing for many years. I never completely strayed but I never could seem to get back into it. Over the last 5 years or so I started going out a few times a year on other peoples boats and decided that I really missed it. I have owned several boats over the last 10 years, (none of the fishing boats). At the end of last summer I decided to dump the "Wine and Cheese" Sundancer and look for a fishing boat this spring.
The money has been flying out of my wallet ever since!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to chasing some tail down this spring, I have alot to learn, and I think this site is great. It's one thing to reel one a fish in, but, It's a whole new ball game when you are the one picking the location, choosing a heading and setting the lines.
I may ask some dumb questions along the way and I thank all of you for your input.
Thanks Again,
Chris
