Member since June 2019 Destin, United States
Background
An avid angler since he can remember, Captain Rocky always wanted to make a living on the water. As he says himself, he never was a "dry kid, always in the water!" He's been fishing professionally out of Destin since 1984 and never tires of exploring the Gulf's riches. He's done it all and loves nothing more than sharing his passion with children and other beginners. Their excitement is his excitement, so he hopes to "help people catch that fish that'll make their day, their year, their life!"
Techniques
I LIKE CATCHING GULF AND BAY. COBIA FISHING IN THE SPRING IS MY FAVORITE. IN SUMMER I LIKE THE BIG PULL (THAT TASTE GREAT ) Snappers grouper’s and other bottom feeders. Love to troll up BIG king mackerel with live cigar minnows and herring. LIVE BAIT IS ALWAYS BEST, BUT I AM VERY PROFICIENT WITH THE USE OF LURES AND DEAD BAIT. VERY DRY RIDING BOAT. , HIGH GUNNELS, GREAT ELECTRONICS, ANCHOR POINT MINNKOTA TROLLING MOTOR, COMFORTABLE DOWNSTAIRS AND HEAD, ONLY THE BEST TACKLE,
