Captain
Dexter Early

Member since April 2017 Panama City Beach, United States
Background
Captain Dexter is a passionate shallow water fisherman and captain. He enjoys taking his family out on the water and loves to have other families with kids aboard, too. He is a patient man with beginners and with children, and is always there to lend advice and a helping hand. He has fished the local waters for over 58 years.
Techniques
If my clients are seasoned fisherman, I like to target big fish with artificial baits and cover a lot or area. If my clients are children or inexperience fisherman, I like to fish over structure or wrecks and target several species.
