Captain
David Pechacek

Member since March 2021 Orlando, United States
Background
Captain David started fishing with his father when he was a kid. He then graduated to fishing tournaments when he was 16 to see how well he could compete against the best fisherman in the midwest. Starting in 2015, Captain David followed his ever-growing fishing passion all the way to the professional level for a few years. In 2018, he decided he wanted to be a full-time fishing guide, to show other people how to catch fish and fall in love with this sport that he so much adores. Come join him fishing, have a blast, make tons of memories, and learn some fishing tricks to take home for yourself!
Techniques
Captain David's favorite way to catch a fish is the lure it is biting! He fishes tournaments throughout the year which forces you to be versatile. Therefore, the captain does lots of fishing with artificials from drop shotting, flipping, frogging, topwater, and jerk baits. You name it, he can fish with it and help you catch fish on it! Why not also throw some shiners around because everyone knows that big Florida Bass loves shiners!
