Background
Captain Jeffrey Trafton knows these waters like the back of his hand – he has been fishing locally his whole life and knows all the best nooks and crannies to take you to. He loves taking first-time anglers out and getting you hooked on fishing. You'll have a great relaxing time out on the water with him.
Techniques
Shallow water flats fishing with light tackle spinning rods. I also enjoy flyfishing shallow water flats.
