Captain
James Sousa

Member since October 2025 Navarre, United States
Background
I have been fishing the Florida Panhandle since moving here in 1989. Started out as a first mate on a sportfishing boat competeting in many tournaments for offshore fish. I personally enjoy teaching and taking out people for their sometimes first time experience with the excitement and feeling of accomplishment when the battle is over. I enjoy being on the water and giving that experience to others
Techniques
trolling and drift fishing sometimes bring the big and more variety of fish. inshore spec trout and redfish is also very rewarding
