Barry Nicholls

Member since March 2017 Bonita Springs, United States
Background
Captain Barry has fished the local waters for a long time and knows how important it is not just to put you on the fish, but to make your day fun, too. He has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about the different fish species, techniques, and the local waters. He is also very good at transferring that knowledge onto his guests if they are interested in knowing more. So don't be shy, ask away and you will receive mind-blowing answers.
Techniques
Spin casting with both shrimp and artificial lures. Fly fishing is fun too.
