Techniques
My favorite style of fishing is giant bluefin tuna fishing. There is nothing quite like the challenge, strategy, and excitement that comes with targeting these incredible fish. Over the years, I have spent countless hours pursuing giant bluefin tuna and have had the opportunity to fish alongside several captains and crews featured on the TV show Wicked Tuna. I enjoy a variety of fishing techniques, including trolling, live bait fishing, jigging, bottom fishing, and sight fishing, but giant bluefin tuna remains my true passion. The dedication, patience, and teamwork required to successfully target these fish is what keeps me coming back season after season. Whether we're chasing pelagic species offshore or enjoying a day of coastal fishing, I love sharing my knowledge, techniques, and enthusiasm with anglers of all skill levels. My goal is to help every guest have a safe, productive, and memorable day on the water while learning something new along the way.
