Captain
Chad Schultz

Member since August 2025 Ruskin, United States
Background
I grew up fishing the waters of Tampa Bay and have spent my life learning the patterns of our local species. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, and now I’m lucky enough to share that love of fishing with others. As a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain, I enjoy putting people on fish, teaching new anglers the ropes, and creating memories on the water. Whether it’s chasing Redfish, Snook, or just enjoying a great day on the bay, my goal is to make every trip fun, safe, and unforgettable.
Techniques
My preferred fishing technique is using live bait
