Captain
Cody Snead

Member since April 2020 Matlacha, United States
Background
Captain Cody has been fishing since he was a boy, but started to do this professionally in 2006. Born and raised in Florida, he's a second generation of fishermen. He realized that people love to go fishing, but they don't have the ability to do it on their own, so he decided to make it easy for them. He taught many people how to fish, especially children. It's always an exciting experience when they catch their first fish.
Techniques
I prefer using live bait to put customers on fish, i as well love using artificial to catch
