Captain
Frank Hutchko

Member since December 2018 Bay Pines, United States
Background
Captain Frank has been fishing his whole life. He used to go out on fishing trips with his dad, and the boat captains were pretty much his childhood heroes. That’s what inspired him to become a captain. He loves making his clients happy and letting them see things he’s been seeing his whole life. He had an older captain say to him once “It’s not the size of the fish, it’s the size of the experience that matters.”
Techniques
We primarily bottom fish for grouper and snapper but we can rig for offshore trolling when needed.
