Captain
Louis Hocker

Member since October 2016 Norfolk, United States
Background
Captain Louis has been fishing since he was a little boy with his father and grandfather. He loves fishing with guests, as it gives him a great deal of satisfaction to see their smiling happy faces as they reel in their catch. He has 2 sons who he's been taking fishing with him since they were able to walk, and they love it, too!
Techniques
I absolutely love slow pitch jigging and fast vertical jigging! I also enjoy trolling the open ocean for billfish and tunas!
