Captain
Brandon Hilliard

Member since June 2018 Shalimar, United States
Background
Captain Brandon Hillard is an Active Duty member of the United States Air Force. He was born and raised in East St. Louis, IL. There he got the fishing bug in the fresh waters of the area around the age of 5. Soon after being stationed in Florida, he got a taste of saltwater fishing and he was hooked for life. Starting from fishing on the pier and beaches, he moved further and further away from the coast, fishing nearshore and offshore waters. His offshore escapades have led him to fish all over the Panhandle, down to the Florida Keys, Alabama, Louisiana, and even to the Bahamas. Capt. Brandon is certified through the United States Coast Guard. All licenses, bait, and tackle are provided through him. All equipment is new and in excellent condition, so a faulty rod and reel will be the last of your worries.
Techniques
- Bottom Fishing - Vertical Jigging - Trolling - Live Lining - Top Water
