Captain
Mike Chapman

Member since March 2017 Port St. Joe, United States
Background
I am a second generation captain. I grew up commercial fishing the central and northern California coast. In the early 2000's, I moved to the south to run crew boats in the Louisiana oil industry, which I did for ten years. I have operated boats, fished in three oceans and have a lifetime of experience on the sea.
Techniques
I like trolling and throwing artificial baits, but most of all, I like catching. So if bottom fishing on live or dead bait is where the bite is, then so am I.
