Jack’s enthusiasm for fishing was contagious, and his acquired acquaintances were a wealth of resources to one another; his knowledge and techniques were persuasive and shared from boat to boat and to his sons.
His influence became widespread – from Fisherman’s Landing, Southwestern Yacht Club, the Marlin Club of San Diego, Marina Cortez, and most points in between.
Jack’s motivation came from instilling joy and passion in anyone interested in leaving the dock, and his objective? Every trip he made should be fun and memorable. If that meant improving glassing skills, knot tying, getting in a drop back, working the jigs, casting better, catching the first (marlin), or becoming high boat for the season, great!
