Captain BonBon's Bio

Calico

Hello
Hi, I'm Captain Bonnie J. Bourn, affectionately known as Capt. BonBon, started by my 7 year old niece, and caught on by many of my friends!!!

My sister Judy Kendall and I are owners of the F/V Calico and of the shop, Will's Bait & Tackle, Inc. I'm "owner/operator" of the Calico (Luhrs hull with twin diesels (230 hp each!), and Judy works the shop.

My U.S. Coast Guard License is a 50 Gross Ton Master ticket! My license was issued to me in March of 2004! Wil and I were going to do a specialized boat, fancy, great fishing and food! Since Wil died in April, we didn't bring our plans to fruition. However, my fishing experience goes clear back to the late 50's, early 60's, soooooooooo, salmon (in April, '07), rock cod, ling cod, halibut, crabs, et al, look out, 'cause we are fishing! Whale watching! And, Harbour Crusin'! (I also do ash scatterings, burials at sea!)

Capt. Bob Strong on the Sea Angler was my mentor and taught me a great deal about fishing these Mighty Blue waters of the Pacific Ocean!

My motto: "Be Happy", and my philosophy is "fish & be merry"! Now, let's go fishing!!!
