we just wanted to say thanks again! We had fun today and we all
have a new friend as well! I have never laughed so hard nor have
I ever caught a Tarpon and I cannot thank you enough for putting
forth the effort and staying late yesterday to be sure we caught
one. You called it... incoming tide at that spot. You knew it
would happen and it did! We'll never forget it. We consider you
a friend and you can look forward to seeing us 6-8 times each
year. We can't wait for the phone call saying the Bull Reds are
there. Did that huge Hammerhead Shark ever show up again? I thought
I would die laughing when you took off your belt and swung it
at him!! Richie, thanks again, Joe and Tori.

Comments: Joe, I am glad I could make your day, bro. Yeah, we
saw the T-Head again. I did not want him near my boat. I actually
did hit his dorsal with my belt... FUN TRIP! Thanks for the comments.

Blue Green Corp./CAMS Mangament Group utilizes the services of
Capt. Richie Lott for many outings from our properties and for
property owners. We have done everything from sunset cruises to
offshore fishing trips with our home owners and clients and have
had more fun on the boat with them than any other activity. Our
clients and home owners look forward to being with them on every
trip. These guys are fun to be around group and are very talented.

trip we choose.

Our company books corporate outings with Richie Lott & Associates
because of their fishing talent and their fun sense of humor which
entertains our clients. The fish are a bonus (which we always
catch fish) but you will not find some this fun to fish with.
Great stories, great fun and by the tme you are off the boat you
will have a fishing history lesson as well. A++++ Service with
nice boats and equipment.
Captains Comments:
Scott and John, we appreciate the comments. Maybe next time we
can keep everyone INSIDE the boat. The latest trip was absolutely
PRICELESS!

Captain Lott ordered had unch with us and we sat and discussed
world affairs (yeah right) for about 30 or 40 minutes. After Lunch,
Captain Lott's associate went to the bait shop and bought up some
shrimp. It was then off to the triple tail grounds..... Tripletail
come in many different sizes, as I'm sure you are aware... There's
small ones... And then there are the others.... One of the best
fights of my life. Definitely a fish that I will be pursuing more
often. It took between 12 and 15 minutes to finally wear that
big boy down, and back at the dock on the digital scale, he was
determined to be 13 pounds. First time I've ever sight fished
in my life...first time I've ever targeted triple tail...first
time I've ever hooked up with a fish that I stalked. WHAT A BLAST!!!!!
I had a great time, as did the boys. Praises for Captain Richie
Lott! We had to re-schedule twice because of the weather. He could
easily have said, after our first trip didn't happen that he didn't
have room on his book to do it, but no. He was willing to work
with me, and what a day it turned out to be. The Captain is very
knowledgable and I was more than pleased with his efforts today.
This was a trip that he gave away and he worked as hard as if
I were paying him a full charter fee. Captain Lott is to be commended
for his work ethic and his skills! Thank you Captain, for a day
that my sons and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Brad
Captans Comments:
Brad, That was a very respectable size triple tail. You and your

The video and pics does the whole trip no justice. The morning
started with a quick ride from the Marina. On our way out we saw
a few hogs walking near the salt marsh. Once we were pass the
breakers Capt. Richie and the Mate Eric quickly made bait. With
in another 15 mins we had out 1st fish on. The Sharks went from
4lbs to 150lbs and we were on them all day. We caught one Duskey,
Several Browns, Several acrobatic Spinners, and toped it off with
a few bruiser sized Black tips. Oh I almost forgot about the monster
Warsaw We even had a school of Tarpon on us for awhile. They were
rolling every were but unfortunately they had lock jaw, luckily
though the sharks didn't. I must say it was a great trip that
I want forget. I know its been said but Capt. Richie was a great
host, good Capt. and all around good guy to hang out with.

Thanks again Captain Richie for your generosity. I had an absolute
ball. Folks,

and mate give Captain Richie a call. You won't regret it. Capt.
Richie, my sincerest thanks are added. Yesterday was a trip I
won't forget. The day was perfect....flat seas, big fish, a most
knowledgeable and gracious host, a great mate, and the opportunity
to meet some fellow woodities. My arms are sore this morning and
I've already told the stories to my kids.

2008 Sanctuary Cove: Golden Isles, Georgia Sanctuary Cove Sponsored
Boat in Golden Isles Kingfish Classic ST MARYS, GA - 7 AUGUST
2008 - Sanctuary Cove, a Bluegreen Golf Community, sponsored a
local boat in The Golden Isles Kingfish Classic July 31- August
2. The Golden Isles Kingfish Classic is the Southern Kingfish
Association’s biggest event in Georgia. It's an extremely important
one to the fishermen. It's for bragging rights and for the top
prize, a brand new Contender boat. All proceeds from the tournament
stay in the local community and support many charitable organizations.
The Sanctuary Cove
sponsored boat, The O-Zone, was captained by Richie Lott. The
crew of the O-Zone had a very respectable 2-day aggregate total
for the tournament at 56 Pounds, but received a standing ovation
for saving the lives of the all female crew of The Pink Mullet!
The crew of the Pink Mullet was in peril when the boat began taking
on water in rough, shark infested water offshore of Sapelo Island
and called “May Day”. Capt. Richie Lott and his crew heard the
call for help and immediately abandoned fishing and sped to the
rescue to find the women with water up to their knees in the sinking
boat. Lott moved his boat as close as possible, and the crew of
the Pink Mullet jumped safely onto the O-Zone. The doomed vessel
sank until only the tip of the bow remained visible. It was quite
an exciting day and Captain Lott and his crew earned more than
just bragging rights for winning the tournament, they won bragging
rights for saving the lives of a fellow crew! Capt. Richie Lott
simply responded with "It is my duty, as a Captain, licensed
by the US Coast Guard and Dept. of Homeland Security to aid in
any emergency situation if I am able. We took an oath when we
signed up to be licensed Captains to be safe and keep others safe
while upholding the standards and ethics of the US Coast Guard."
