My name is James Staggs, born to a navy family was around the ocean for most of my childhood, my most enjoyable times I remember were spent on SPI in the late 60's shark fishing best a 10 yo kid could, then dad retired and I was whisked away to wv where I would spend the next 37 years without seeing salt water again, till 2008 when I took the family to NC on vacation, returned in 2009 and managed to catch a small spinner and it all came flooding back, I'm gearing up now to resume shark fishing and hope to make the BHC in 2013, thanks for having me.
