Captain
Cory Hoffman

Member since June 2018 Port St. Joe, United States
Background
Captain Cory Hoffman has been running charters for over a quarter of a century and has no regrets. He loves working on the water, loves meeting new people, and will never stop loving the look on a person's face when the line goes tight and the drag starts screaming. Capt. Cory has been fishing his entire life and knows all the top spots for the area's best and biggest fish.
Techniques
My favorite fishing is dropping giant jigs for snapper, grouper, and aj's on a big rock or wreck. The fight is incredible, and the strike is extremely aggressive. There is something to be said about using lighter tackle for some species as well.
