Captain
Ronnie Rapp

Member since March 2023 Port Canaveral, United States
Background
Captain Ronnie Rapp is a third-generation native Floridian who grew up fishing on Florida’s Space Coast right here in Cocoa, FL. Ronnie started inshore fishing the flats, then quickly discovered there are bigger fish to fry. His older brothers introduced him to the game of deep sea fishing, where he fell in love and dreamed of owning a seaworthy fishing boat one day and making a living doing it. Several years later, here we are!
Techniques
My favorite style of fishing is slow trolling. With a nice livewell full of nice baits to troll with anything is possible! If the live bait is not around then trolling with dead bait with skirts is just as fun!
