Captain
Jim Adams

Member since December 2017 Port Aransas, United States
Background
Growing up in the area gave me a love of fishing and just being on the water. As the time came closer to a mandatory retirement from firefighting my thoughts turned more and more to fishing. I knew I did not want to fish by myself and since I got so much enjoyment watching others catch this seemed like a natural thing for me to do.
Techniques
The majority of my customers are families. When first timers come fishing with me I want them to have a love of the sport and feel that are comfortable casting and the works. I fish the bays and shallow areas around Port Aransas and my thought on the charter industry is that the trip is about the customer.
