Captain
Larry Shults

Member since January 2021 Pensacola, United States
Background
I grew up developing a passion for the great outdoors. After working 31 years trying to find time to spend out on the waters, I decided to retire early and open a charter business to share my passion for fishing with others.
Techniques
I target a variety of wrecks by bottom fishing with drop shots or jigs. I utilize cut bait, live bait, and shrimp to entice the waters below. When the bite is slow I love to set out my deep water trolling gear and Cruise about 7 knots waiting to hear the reels twisting. I loved the sound so much, I named my boat twist”n”reels. I have no preferred styles, I just love to be on the water with a reel and pole in my hand or helping others to catch their lifetime fish.
