Patrick Bale

Member since June 2020 Key Largo, United States
Background
Captain Patrick is an Army Veteran with a passion for not only fishing but the conservation of wildlife too. He is a Florida native that truly loves where he comes from.
Techniques
We fish mainly live bait. The Keys lends itself to different types of fishing without having to go too far. We have great inshore mangrove fishing on the bayside and just a few minutes away is patch reef fishing in the Atlantic.
