John Fensel

Member since April 2021 Oakville, Canada
Background
Captain John's father was a certified Captain and he taught him at a very young age of 12 years old to start to fish and operate a vessel. It can be said it was a family pastime in the beginning, but the captain's love and passion for fishing eventually evolved into a career for him.
Techniques
Captain John fishes on a 36' Sea Ray Sportfish Sedan. He implements techniques such as downrigging, flat lines, and dipsy divers.
