Captain
Rick Schlee

Member since April 2017 West Palm Beach, United States
Background
Captain Rick started fishing Bass tournaments at the tender age of 10 and has also fished from piers, seawalls, and drift boats. He is super passionate about fishing and loves being on the water and just enjoying the beautiful views of nature. Capt. Rick became a fisherman because for him it's a true adrenaline rush. He loves to teach and see people learn and catch fish. The captain also fishes the local tournament circuit for Sailfish and other pelagics, and has placed against some of the best talents in the world. He says: "Fishing is very addictive, so I guess you can say it's an addiction and a challenge."
Techniques
Styles and techniques of fishing are all based on weather conditions, weather patterns, winds, seas, and currents. Adjustments to conditions and being versatile and well-rounded will help put fish on the deck.
