Brandon Stearns

Member since February 2021 Naples, United States
Background
I was born in Naples FL, and instantly introduced to the fishing community. While I didn't always have a boat, I was consistently catching fish. And at one point I thought it would be great to take families out and share my passion and teach them all about fishing. So I bought a boat and began. Doing charters out of Naples / 10k islands
Techniques
I do alot of. Spinning reel fishing. Some fly fishing as well. Looking for shallow. Water to sight cast Cruising fish. Or. Finding a deep. Pocket that may hold fish and jigging something off the bottom to entice. A bite sometimes. I will throw live bait or cut bait. Into an area i think. Will hold fish as well
