Captain
Mike Lintzenich

Member since March 2018 Poquoson, United States
Background
I started fishing as soon as I could walk, exploring the Florida Everglades, Ten Thousand Islands, and Florida Keys in 1975. Since moving to the East Coast in 1993, I have been avidly fishing the Atlantic Ocean and its estuaries every chance I get. The Chesapeake Bay provides amazing opportunities for saltwater fishing enthusiasts like me!
Techniques
My primary interest is light tackle sport fishing. I enjoy making custom tackle targeted for specific species. The hunt for larger fish with sight-fishing is a favorite, but I also enjoy trolling and bottom fishing. My most rewarding fishing comes when I can help another angler learn new techniques and find great fish.
