Captain
TJ Ritner

Member since February 2018 Montauk, United States
Background
Captain TJ Ritner has spent his life fishing all sorts of different waters. Florida Keys, Cabo San Lucas, and the northeast Atlantic are areas he has fished extensively. With over 30 years of experience fishing radically different waters, there's nothing that can surprise him. He's also a local to the area, so he knows all the best secret fishing spots around. His motto is that luck has nothing to do with success, but countless hours spent fishing have honed his skills to a razor edge and now they're at your disposal.
Techniques
Fishing with live bait is one of his favorite methods, as well as trolling. Custom bottom rigs are a lot of fun for Captain TJ.
