Background
Captain John Layne was born and raised fishing in the bays and flats of the Apalachicola Bay. He's an avid angler and passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience with his guests. Hooking big Redfish inshore is his specialty! He also loves sharing his knowledge and learning from other passionate anglers.

We mostly use spinning reels, with round reels offshore as well. We mostly bottom fish, with the exception of the crew size and experience we also use artificial lures depending on the time of year & weather conditions.
