Captain
Christian Rec

Member since April 2019 West Palm Beach, United States
Background
Christian has been a captain for the past 5 years, but he's been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod. He's fished the entire southeast coast and participated in a lot of different tournaments along the East Coast. Not only has he placed high in many of these tournaments, but his boat is also currently the number 2 boat under 28 feet in the whole SE coast! He recently finished second place in the world in a Sailfish tournament fishing off a 62' Viking. Fishing is his ultimate passion and addiction – he goes to sleep dreaming about fishing, then eats, drinks and breathes fishing. You'll have a great time fishing with him and his crew!
Techniques
His boat is equipped for pretty much all kinds of fishing but he does like to do a lot of drift/kite fishing on his charters. Livebait is highly suggested on his trips. You can buy them on the way out of the inlet.
