Member since June 2021 South Padre Island, United States
Background
Hello, I’m Captain Raine, born and raised an avid fisherman. I have lived in Deep South Texas for about 21 years. I obtained my captain’s license early 2020. I grew up in Florida, and I come from a long line of fisherman. We moved to Panama when I was a teenager and talk about awesome fishing in the Canal Zone! During my young adult life, I used to fish at Gatun Lake for my dinner… no fish, no dinner. I moved back to the states and worked in manufacturing engineering, which brought me down to the Rio Grande Valley. I am semi-retired now and dedicate most of my time to fishing, guiding, and sharing my knowledge of what I love. Everywhere I have lived, I have made sure there was a body of water to fish. I have fished throughout the American Continents including: USA, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, and Canada. I love the hunt in salt or fresh water fishing. I live to fish!! So, Let’s Go Fishing!
Techniques
I like to drift through the flats using cut bait, swim lures, like a slam shady, with an 8oz. jig head, and/or a popping cork. I never stop unless I see two out of three: bait, birds, and/or bloom.
