Background
Nicholas Hines, an avid and passionate angler, owns Fishing CR. He's been running this charter with his family for years. His friend, Captain Luis, has been fishing with him his entire life and guiding the trips with Fishing CR. They are all locals and familiar with the best spots in the area. "The best part of this job is being out there and meeting new people, but let’s be real, the thrill of screaming reels takes the cake!"
Techniques
Preferred style is trolling fishing for big game with ballyhoo rigs and outriggers.
