   I recently had the opportunity to visit my brother and go fishing with him on the West Wind. Being a computer geek, I was really impressed

with all the cool electronics. But let me tell you, I had the time of my life catching those bass. He knew all the right spots to go, and we were

landing those stripers all day. Not a very experienced fisherman myself, he was a good teacher. If you really want to have a fullfilling and fun

day, I recommend you give Bob a ring. I can't wait until I can make it up to Nantucket again and have another go at it.  -Bill Rank

   I went fishing with Captain Rank last fall. I've lived here all my life, but I've never caught as many big bass as we did that day. Even in the

fog, Captain Rank had us right on top of a mountain of fish the whole time. Captain Rank has been commercially fishing in these waters for a long time. He once told me the only fishing he was interested in was the kind that filled the boat. Now I know why. If you go fishing with Bob, I guarantee you'll have a great time.  -Jareb Keltz

   Want to catch some fish? I went out with Bob for a day and caught more stripers than I've ever caught. I was exhausted. This man knows

his business and can catch em. One of my best ever days of fishing!  -Peter Duquette, Rhode Island
