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.
