Captain
Gary Strickland

Member since September 2020 Spring Hill, United States
Background
Fishing has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid, some of my best childhood memories are on a boat or camping and fishing with family, so in my early 20's I decided to take fishing more serious and to get my license and everything I needed to take other people out and teach them how to fish my area and help them make memories that will stick with them forever.
Techniques
We use a wide variety of bait, we throw a lot of live bait, but also use artificial lures. Certain times of the year we also use cut bait.
