| CAPT. ERIC STARTED FISHING FROM HIS PLAYPEN IN HIS DADS BOAT, HE GREW UP ON THE WATER AND ALWAYS KNEW FISHING AND WORKING ON THE OCEAN WAS HIS FUTURE. HE STARTED WORKING ON THE LOCAL BOATS OUT OF CAPTREE AND FREEPORT LONG ISLAND AS A MATE WHEN HE WAS 14, USING A SKIFF TO "COMMUTE" TO WORK. WHEN NOT WORKING AS A MATE, HE WOULD USE HIS OWN BOAT TO PIN HOOK STRIPER'S, SEA BASS AND FLUKE, AND HUSTLE THEM TO LOCAL RESTAURANTS. HE WENT ON TO DO THE SAME OUT EAST, ON HIS DAD'S BOAT OUT OF MONT AUK. CAPT. ERIC WENT ON TO PURSUE AN COLLEGE DEGREE FROM MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME ACADEMY, WHICH IS LOCATED RIGHT ON BUZZARDS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS. WHILE ENROLLED AT THE ACADEMY, HE WORKED FOR CAPT. KEITH BAKER OF THE NEAT LADY OUT OF ONSET, MA. OVER THE YEARS CAPT. ERIC AND CAPT. KEITH HAVE BECOME GREAT FRIENDS, AND ERIC HAS GAINED A LIFETIME'S WORTH OF BUZZARDS BAY FISHING KNOWLEDGE FROM KEITH, WHOM ERIC VIEWS AS "AMONG THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS." CAPT. ERIC RAN THE "NEAT LADY" AND THE CHARTER BOAT "FINS", ALONG WITH CAPT. KEITH THEY WERE A GREAT TEAM. CAPT. ERIC WENT ON TO GRADUATE FROM THE ACADEMY AND START HIS CAREER AS A DECK OFFICER IN THE U.S. MERCHANT MARINE. HE HAS WORKED ON VARIOUS OIL TANKERS UP TO 750 FT, SAILING (AND FISHING) AROUND THE WORLD. WHEN HE IS NOT AT SEA HE RETURNS TO MASSACHUSETTS TO RUN FISHING TRIPS. IN 2004 CAPT. ERIC HAS DECIDED TO GO INTO BUSINESS FOR HIMSELF. HE PURCHASED THE "FINS" FROM CAPT. KEITH, AND AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE WEBSITE IS RUNNING UNDER THE NAME "BOUNTY HUNTER". SADLY BACK IN NOVEMBER OF '07 ERIC LOST HIS BEST FRIEND AND FISHING BUDDY, HIS DAD DENNIS, HIS DAD WILLED HIS BELOVED 26' PACEMAKER "WAHOO" CENTER CONSOLE TO ERIC. ERIC USED IT FOR A PERSONAL BOAT IN MEMORY OF HIS DAD. HE HAD OFFICIALLY ADDED THE BOUNTY HUNTER JR TO THE FLEET IN THE SUMMER OF '09. THE BOAT WAS A GREAT HIT WITH SMALL GROUPS OF 2 TO 4 PEOPLE AND LIGHT TACKLE. ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE KNOWN ERIC HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR A LARGER CHARTER BOAT TO ACCOMMODATE GROUPS LARGER THAN 6, AND TO GET BACK INTO CANYON TUNA AND SHARK FISHING. IN SEPTEMBER OF '09 ERIC AND "MATT THE MATE" WENT PARTNERS ON ONE OF NICEST CHARTER BOATS IN THE AREA. THE BOUNTY HUNTER EXPRESS A CUSTOM BUILT CHESAPEAKE DEAD RISE STYLE BOAT POWERED BY A PAIR OF 660 HP CUMMINGS, SHE IS THE FASTEST AND MOST SOPHISTICATED INSPECTED CHARTER BOAT IN SE NEW ENGLAND. |

| MATT, HAS COME FULL CIRCLE... WHEN HE FIRST STEPPED ABOARD HIS RIGS LOOKED LIKE BAD KNITTING AND HIS FISHING SKILLS... WELL I WILL LEAVE THAT ONE ALONE.

ERIC AND PURCHASED THE BOUNTY HUNTER EXPRESS IN SEPT OF 2009. HE HAS NOW REACHED HIS DREAM OF BEING ABLE TO FISH DAILY ON A BOAT HE FEELS COMFORTABLE ON WITH HIS BAD LEGS, THOSE CUSTOMERS WHO KNOW MATT KNOW HOW BAD HIS LEGS GET ON COLD NASTY DAYS.
