Member since November 2023 Holmes Beach, United States
Background
I grew up in Massachusetts along the beaches of Cape Cod Bay. I grew up on the water where I learned how to fish and fell in love with the sport. It was always a dream of mine to captain my own boat and bring the joy of being on the water to other people.
Techniques
down here in Tampa bay and the Gulf of Mexico the fish tend to love live baits including pilchards, thread Finn , cigar minnows, shrimp, pinfish and many more! But we’ll never be afraid to throw some artificial lures at them!
