Member since April 2018 Port Canaveral, United States
Background
Captain Pat has a total of over 30 years of fishing experience. His fishing adventures have taken him from the shores of New Jersey all the way down to the beautiful Florida Keys. His experience in both recreational and commercial fishing has gained for him extensive knowledge in various fishing techniques. This lifelong passion for fishing keeps him out on the water ready to share his love of the sport with a future generation of anglers.
Techniques
I love offshore trolling for Mahi, Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna or whatever we can catch. I also enjoy slow trolling live bait for King Mackerel or site fishing for Cobia. I will do whatever it takes to make your trip a memorable experience.
