Mate Paul Gateas

I can't say enough about "Chef Pauly". He is like a kid at sea. Pauly has a contagious love of fishing. It makes no difference whether we are battling giant tuna or catching mackeral for live bait. Pauly loves to fish, and he is a BLAST to fish with. He'll mate on a 12 hour charter, clean the boat, then stay and striper fish off the dock. Pauly has proven to be our most patient and succesful teacher for those new to fishing. We had to post one more picture of Pauly with his girlfriend - Grubina

Pauly's most famous line: "If you behave yourself I MIGHT share some of my fried striper."
