Captain
Jeff Vannimwegen

Member since June 2024 Cape Fair, United States
Background
Captain Jeff launched his professional fishing career two decades ago in Southern California while working in construction. Endorsed by brands like Cool Bait Lures, New Pro Products, Great Lakes Finesse, Yolotek, and Extreme Outdoors, he competed in the US Open, National Bass West, and American Bass tournaments. Upon retiring from construction, he relocated to Branson, Missouri, where he established his fishing guide service, Angler's Adventures LLC. Jeff employs diverse fishing techniques to catch bass and trout every season. As a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain and tournament angler, he teaches customers how to interpret electronics, execute proper casting techniques, tie fishing knots, and present realistic lures to fish.
Techniques
Captain Jeff incorporates a couple of favored fishing techniques into his repertoire. Firstly, he utilizes power fishing, which involves casting moving baits to provoke a reaction from the fish. Additionally, he employs finesse fishing, a method that calls for a more deliberate approach and a lighter line, particularly effective when the fish are biting more systematically.
