Captain
Jon Gatlin

Member since January 2020 Rockport, United States
Background
''Born and raised in Rockport Texas, I have spent my entire life fishing these waters. I began fishing when I was 3 years old and started running a boat at the age of 14.'' Captain Jon's lifetime of experience includes everything from bay and offshore fishing, to duck, goose, dove, hog, and deer hunting. This job brings a lot of joy to him, especially seeing the smiles of people and watching kids catch the fish.
Techniques
I bay fish in all of the surrounding bays and back lakes. I will use anything from live or dead bait to artificial lures.
