Member since March 2018 Marathon, United States
Background
About Captain Richard Bradley I have been fishing as far back as I can remember. As a family, we were always on the water catching fish, no matter where we were. In my younger days, I lived in Abu Dhabi, UAE where I was a First Mate and fished the Persian Gulf and the Gulf Of Oman. The billfish were amazing. In the summers when my folks vacationed, we always came home to Florida. The Atlantic and Keys were my inspiration; I spent my days and nights fishing. Like clockwork, you could find me on a boat, pier, or beach from sunrise to sunset. When my folks retired back to Florida, I knew what I wanted to do…bring folks out to share the excitement, experience fishing, and have a load of fun doing it. My beautiful 33 Dusky center console is just right to do that.
Techniques
I love bottom fishing, its way more than just dropping a hook. There's a finesse to coaxing that big fish to the hook and you don't always win. Even when you do hook up you can't just assume the fish is yours.
