ABOUT JOHN GREMILLION
I am a 25 year U.S.C.G. licensed captain working in my native town, New Orleans, Louisiana. My career began early working aboard tournament fishing, blue water boats as a deck hand across the Gulf Coast. In 1990 I was hired Capt. Mike Frenette (m/v Teaser) regarded as one of best charter captains in Louisiana. I received a great gift from Capt. Mike when I turned 21, he paid for me to earn my captain\'s license. Upon receiving my license weeks later, I continued to work as a deck hand but took over the helm on charters when Capt. Mike was unavailable. Under expert tutelage, Capt. Mike transformed my view of fishing sharing endless tips, tricks, and secrets, some of which I\'m under a lifetime bond never to divulge. I worked with Capt. Mike for ten years before my passion for fishing started to wane. I\'d come to the realization that I had taken the one thing I truly loved in life and turned it into daily, grinding work. On good terms with Capt. Mike, I ended my chartering career and entered oil field vessel operations.My first job on the commercial scene was operating crew boats out of Venice, Louisiana, I was truly a fish out of water (pun intended). There was a sizable learning curve in operations, oil field terminology, vessel lingo and so much more. I retained the competitive drive developed from fishing tournaments with the best in the business and carried a burning desire to thrive. At the time the natural progression seemed to lead to tugboat operations on the Mississippi River, after many years operating crew boats, I set my sights on operating tugboats.My life has come beautifully full circle, working as a tugboat operator on the Miss. River for a great tugboat company the past 8 years. My passion for fishing is now for relaxation and writing. In addition to operating a tugboat, I am a monthly columnist for Coastal Angler Magazine. My favorite quote,\"Wisdom is the reward for those who listen when what they would really rather do is talk.
