Captain
James Parker

Member since May 2024 Tampa, United States
Background
I have over 25 years on the water and fishing. I’ve traveled the world playing music. I was younger and discovered fishing along the way. It’s tough to say fishing pulled me away from being a musician, but it may be true!
Techniques
I enjoy inshore fishing mostly for trophy snook, but enjoy keeping my eye on the water for anything that we could come across. “You never know”.I love throwing a cast net for fresh bait. I also love throwing jigs and top water early in the morning or late in the evening. Let me know! I’ll do it all!
