Captain
Jason Yates

Member since February 2021 Shalimar, United States
Background
Captain Jason was born and raised in a military family. When they moved to the Florida Panhandle in 1993, he met some friends who were into fishing and from then he was hooked! The captain's been an avid fisherman since and he purchased his first boat in 2010. From there he has mainly fished the Gulf to this day. Captain Jason loves taking people out to fish and enjoys friends and family catching more than himself. At that point, he decided to go to Sea School and get his captain's license. Now, he's here doing what he's always wanted to do and that's fish for a living.
Techniques
Captain Jason likes both trolling and bottom fishing just as much as the other. He's had many years of experience doing both. He likes to ask the clients what they want to fish for and that gives him an idea of what he would recommend to them. If they book a long enough charter, then he'll do his best to accommodate both styles of fishing.
