Upcoming shows and Specials for 2013

Now that we are getting into the season once again, I have to say that I am extremely excited. If it was anything like last year, it will just be fantastic! Besides entering another year with Lowrance and all new electronics on the boat in 2012, I am also now an Orvis Endorsed Guide. What this means for you is that I have been tested by some of the strictest standards and passed. They recognized that I am one of the hardest working captains on the water and my goal is to give you a successful and great day on the water.

 Here is a list of the shows and specials that will be run to kick off the 2013 season:

February 2, 2013:
I will be on the faculty staff with George Poveromo and the National Saltwater Seminar Series. It will be at Rhode Island College in Providence.  This is a one day series with some of the best captains in New England. If you are feeling blue with the cold, come on out!

February 14, 2013:
Valentine special! Double Up the value of your gift certificate up to $100. For example, if you buy your loved one a $25 gift card, you get a $50 gift certificate for a charter or lesson; A $50 gift card gets you a $100.00 certificate! You may apply it to anything that I offer for the 2013 season.  Spread the word on this one. Feel free to call me if you have any questions on this!

March 8-10, 2013:
New England Saltwater Fishing Show at the RI Convention Center. Visit me at booth 1205 and get the chance to win free charter money! Book a charter at the show and test your luck at drawing a gift certificate of either $25, $50, $75 or $100 (all certificate will be sealed until you open it)!!

April 10, 2013:
New Baby bookings! With all the surprises this one is the best! My son is due on this date and as a reward back, all charters booked this week will receive one extra hour on their charter trip. You can use it to fish longer, go sightseeing or just relax. Couldn't we all use an extra hour every now and again to relax?

** You have to mention you saw it here to get any of the above discounts so please spread the word and tell you friends and family!

Well that is it for now. I am looking forward to another great season and my sincere thanks to all of my repeat customers for helping me make such a successful business. Without you I would be on dry land!

Thank you for your support,
Capt. Brian Patterson

Welcome home 2013!

2012 was a roller coaster ride for me personally. I suffered a tragic loss of my father back in February, engaged in a higher than average charter season, lost my childhood house to hurricane Sandy and found out that I am going to be a father in April of 2013.  There are no words to describe my emotions that I have felt this past year and no way to pretend that I was "in the moment" of any of them.  I know my dad would have been proud of the fish that were taken including a beautiful 49 lb striper with Sean Ross at Block Island. Had that beast eaten ANYTHING, it would have tipped the scales well above 55 lbs. Leonard Lacasse blew away the fly fishing scales with several 41 inch stripers and several new fisherman entered catch and release fish for the striper cup.   I spent many nights reflecting on this year and the times I had and had lost.  It was a painful yet satisfying year knowing that everything that happened was in the eyes of those that taught me everything I knew. From past high school friends joining me on charters to old time buddies reliving old memories, there was not a moment I could not appreciate.  I was able to get mothers with their daughters out fly fishing and fathers with their dads and son's fluke fishing. These are the times that I look back and live daily. These are the the days that I relive with my own father and know that I pass along a memories.
Thank you to everyone who was involved with my business this past year. Know that you may have walked away with memories for yourself but also gave a memories to me.

I look forward to my newborn son in the Spring and to teach him all of the things that me dad taught me... and I will have or will teach you.  

Here is to a New Year. To a year of new memories.

Sincerely,
Capt. Brian Patterson
