Capt. Gary is a Jacksonville native and has been fishing all his life. He has fished extensively inshore and offshore of Jacksonville as well as the Bahamas, Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, and Louisiana. The captain used to commercially fish and do tournaments for Kingfish. He enjoys fly fishing as well as throwing artificials mostly, but sometimes live bait is the charm.
