Jay Winters

Member since April 2018 Venice, United States
Background
With Captain Jay Winters, you can expect a knowledgeable guide who will get you on fish in no time. Jay has been working as a captain for over a decade now. Initially, he was guiding only on weekends but realized that he could do something he was so passionate about full-time. Capt. Jay has successfully taken part in various tournaments from Texas to Florida. As well as that, he has participated in a lot of bowfishing tournaments. Capt. Jays' favorite species to catch is Redfish.
Techniques
I try to find what works best for conditions. In general shrimp under a cork works most. But when they don’t wanna eat switch over to a chatter bait or spinner to try to get a reaction bite. When it get a bit cooler fish the bottom w a straight jig head. Gotta adapt.
