Background
Captain Doug Goodman has been exploring his love of fishing for over 35 years and he's got the knowledge to prove it. He's been a USCG captain since 2015, but he started fishing much earlier and his passion only grew over time. Not only does Capt. Doug know how to put you on the fish, but he's also very pleasant and every trip with him is a joy you'll want to repeat.
