James Scott

Member since March 2021 Destin, United States
Background
Captan James is a longtime angler with a great personality. He loves working outdoors and has a desire to always improve. Charters are extremely work-intensive but can also be very rewarding. He loves to see smiles on his clients' faces, especially the kids. The captain lived in the Philippines for 5 years where he honed his fishing skills. He has the knowledge and the drive to make sure each trip is successful. His main goal is safety first, and a great adventure as a close second.
Techniques
Captain James is a versatile angler knowledgeable in all forms and technics. His personal favorite would be handlining, but on charters, medium rods with big fish are a blast. From trolling to bottom fishing, he will get you on the fish.
