Captain Jack has been fishing for as long as he can remember. His father has fished his whole life and has taught Captain Jack the way of the water. The captain always wanted to be a charter captain growing up and be able to show the water to others who don't get to experience it as often. As soon as he was old enough to get his captain's license, Captain Jack went through the process and began running trips. He's currently a student at the University of Virginia, so his trips are mostly limited to the summer, but he looks forward to hopefully fishing with some of y'all as soon as he can!
