Will Gavin

Member since October 2023 Pass Christian, United States
Background
When I wasn't driving nails growing up in north Mississippi I was spending time in on the gulf coast fishing and eating local seafood. I finally drove enough nails to move down 7 years ago to make charter fishing a reality
Techniques
I like to use the lightest tackle possible and still catch the desired species. Live bait is always my go to and the most efficient at catching dinner. We may also catch our on bait some days.
