Captain
Brian Gills

Member since October 2018 Gold Coast, Australia
Background
I grew up beside the ocean, fishing and boating have been my life. I never wanted anything else. Fishing and boats have taken me around the world, I have visited all different countries and cultures, this has given me a very broad and positive outlook on life, this is my life. I believe in listening, watching, and embracing technology, trying new things, and new ideas is what keeps us alive, doing our best, and actively pursuing our life.
Techniques
I do not have a preferred style or technique. Spending so much time travelling, and living in different countries, plus 45 years at sea, has taught me to be adaptable, and open to new ideas, there is no right or wrong, just what works on the day.
