Louis Aponte

Member since April 2025 Freeport, United States
Background
I’ve been on the water my whole life—fishing is a tradition that’s been passed down through generations in my family. I bring that experience and passion into every trip I run. With over 20 years of boating experience and 5+ years as a licensed captain, I fish out of Jones Inlet specializing in inshore and mid-shore trips. Depending on the season, we target species like blackfish, striped bass, and ocean fluke, with a strong focus on structure fishing. My boat is fully equipped with modern electronics and a Minn Kota trolling motor, allowing us to stay right on top of wrecks and structure to maximize your chances of hooking up. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned angler, I tailor each trip to make it fun, productive, and something you’ll remember. My favorite trips are working structure—there’s nothing like that first solid hit over a wreck.
