Captain
Brian Parkinson

Member since December 2020 Marathon, United States
Background
I grew up in New England fishing the cold waters of the northern Atlantic. The draw to the warm waters and year-round fishing in the Florida Keys was too much to resist. I got my safe boating certificate at 12 years old and have been in the water ever since. I love to fish and share my knowledge. There is nothing better than being on the water.
Techniques
I prefer basic, simple techniques for fishing in the keys. This makes it fun and easy for everyone regardless of experience. Running a smaller boat the weather does play a factor as to where I can go but there are always fish to catch in the calm waters surrounding the islands and bridges.
