Captain
Greg Holmes

Member since May 2023 Georgetown, United States
Background
I grew up and have lived on the northern South Carolina coast for over 50 years and was introduced to fishing at a very early age and have enjoyed it ever since. Not only the catching part but to be out on the water. From freshwater Bass and Bream fishing as a young boy with my dad, along with occasional trips to the piers next to the beach and salt marsh creeks with my grandparents, I was "hooked." During my late teens, I began to gravitate more toward saltwater, seizing every opportunity, whether it be inshore, nearshore, or offshore. A friend introduced me to live bait fishing for King Mackerel in the early '90s, and, oh, brother! what a mistake! By the mid-'90s, I was fishing 10-15 tournaments a year locally. My teammates and I competed on the "Yamaha Pro Tour" from 1999-2001 along the Carolinas down thru the Florida Keys and over to Louisiana. Following that, I reverted back to the casual and less brutal creeks of the estuary, bays, and inlets being my focus ever since. I obtained and have held a USCG Captain's license since 2002. These days I enjoy putting others on fish and watching them do the catching. Believe me, no one on my boat wants you to catch fish worse than me!
Techniques
light spinning tackle using artificial lures, live/natural baits
