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 addicton and i am honored now to becoming a captain and sharing 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.

They told us when the fish would hit and they hit right at that time. We finally tapped out from reeling in 20 plus pound Salmon.
