Captain
Craig Izzi

Member since April 2021 Rockaway Beach, United States
Background
Captain Craig has been fishing since he could walk, spending summers as a deckhand on charter boats and everyday in between fishing for anything in season. He's been a commercial Tuna, Halibut, and Black Cod fisherman with his own boat and he loves to teach people all he knows about fishing.
Techniques
Captan Craig uses a mixture of old school techniques – plunking, trolling and drifting, using anything from fresh bait to jigs and spinners, and he's always trying the newest ideas to see what works the best.
