Captain
Jim Ilkovich

Member since May 2018 Truro, United States
Background
Captain Jim Ikovich has born and raised right here on Cape Cod and spent his childhood fishing the waters around Orleans, MA. Capt. Jim has been working on charter boats since he was 12 and has over a decade of experience as a captain. Fishing is his passion and nothing gets his heart pounding like that first strike of the day. He also loves getting the chance to meet new people and learn about different parts of the world from clients traveling to fish with him.
Techniques
My favorite style is casting using differnt styles of plugs. Using live bait is also one of my favorites. I try to avoid trolling as much as possible
