GW Campbell

Member since December 2018 Texas City, United States
Background
Captain Gw Campbell grew up on Galveston Bay and has been fishing these waters from childhood. A professional in cargo aviation, he returned home after 30 years in the sky to fish. While working in aviation, he also worked on marine habitats, and continues to take a keen interest, researching habitat and movements 4–5 times a week. Naturally, his work took him all over the world, and in 2002 he used his downtime in Saudi Arabia to go fishing, where he caught a 470 lb Marlin!
Techniques
Aware of habits, habitats and seasonal locations in schooling species. More interested in larger single fish than large stringers and use that experience to put charters on both. Flats, reef and ambush feeding locations are targeted.
