Background
Trentin is a passionate angler with a deep-rooted love for fishing, having grown up in the industry. Raised in a family of experienced fishermen, Trentin was introduced to the waters at a young age, spending countless hours learning the craft from family members and mentors. With three years of hands-on experience as a professional fishing guide, Trentin has honed a wide range of fishing skills and knowledge, from inshore to offshore fishing techniques. Although young, Trentin brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to every charter, making sure each trip is both enjoyable and educational. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned angler, Trentin tailors the experience to meet your needs, offering expert guidance and making sure everyone feels comfortable on the water. Having grown up around boats and fishing gear, Trentin is well-versed in the nuances of local fishing spots, as well as the best times and techniques to target various species. Trentin's love for the outdoors and dedication to providing top-notch fishing experiences ensures that every client leaves with great memories and possibly a great catch! Captain Trentin Leary will be running our Caymas 281HB center console loaded with all the fishing gear and technology you need. He recently got his captain’s license in 2022 and has been fishing offshore as a mate for several years. His love & passion for fishing has pushed him to want to run his own boat which he has earned. Come book a day with Captain Trentin and make memories out on the water.
Techniques
I love working with live bait such as shrimp, pilchards, and mullet. Kite fishing, trolling, throwing light tackle spinning rods, and dead bait fishing are all fishing techniques I love to use.
