Dear Captain Ralph:


Winning the 2011 Manhattan Cup was quite a memorable experience.  To say it never could have happened without your local knowledge and skill is a huge understatement.  You put us on the fish in conditions that certainly were less than stellar.   Your guiding services were second to none and allowed us to stand out and win the tournament over 50+ captains and 300+ anglers.  Fishing with you and Chuck is always a great time and the results speak for themselves!  Looking forward to hitting the water with you guys again soon.


Tight lines!


Tom, Shawn & Mark
