Member since December 2014 Gulf Shores, United States
Background
Captain John has been fishing with his dad and grandparents since he was probably old enough to hold a fishing pole. He has fished in Key West, Savannah, Georgia, and the Gulf of Mexico, all the way to California, and even Hawaii. The captain enjoys fishing and loves watching people catch fish. He hopes to see you on the water soon. He and his six other captains will make sure you have fun while fishing.
Techniques
Captain John loves to go and catch live bait for his customers so that they have a better chance of catching bigger fish. And it's also an experience for them to watch and help catch their own bait for the fishing trip for the day. The kids always love it when they drag the shrimp net and dolphins come up. The captain likes using live bait drift lining. Free lining with live bait is how you catch the bigger fish!
