Captain
Dante Medaglia

Member since August 2021 Alameda, United States
Background
I’ve been on the ocean since I was a baby. I’ve fished all over North America for all kinds of species. I turned my passion into a career in 2018. On our trips my goal is for you to go home with a pile of high quality fillets and a memory to last a lifetime. I’m an avid fisherman and I’ve been a client on many charters good and bad. Its not cheap to go charter fishing and a captain with a bad attitude can ruin your trip. I strive to go above and beyond to make sure my clients get what they paid for. I can’t promise you fish but I can promise that I will put 100% of my effort and knowledge to make sure you have the best time possible. If something isn’t working I don’t beat a dead horse I will change tactics, bait and the target species to get you on the fish. If you want to go home with some storys and a sack of fillets come aboard the Tin Lizzie for your next adventure
Techniques
Any style that catches big fish. We mostly drift live bait or troll
