Member since March 2023 Shalimar, United States
Background
I am Captain Cameron Parkhurst, an Animal Science Major from the University of Florida as well as a Scuba Instructor. I'm 30 plus years local to the area. My marine science background and knowledge of how fish position themselves in various habitat (from seeing them underwater) really helps to add layers of knowledge to my group's fishing experience. I've held a boat captain's license since 1997 and also am first aid/CPR trained.
Techniques
Live baiting, trolling, bottom fishing. Whatever it takes to get the bite!
