Captain
Bryce Watson

Member since June 2025 St. Joseph, United States
Background
I started fishing on the St.Joe River as soon as I could pick up a rod, my passion grew from there as I ventured out on the big lake. The first time i experienced screaming drag from a King Salmon I was hooked for life. My passion became an addiction and I am honored now to become a captain and share this addiction with the next angler.
Techniques
I enjoy a big rod spread trolling. 3 down riggers, 4 dipsys divers and 8 long lines. that many rods out you are bound to stay busy.
