Captain
John D Fowler Sr

Member since April 2021 South Padre Island, United States
Background
I’ve been fishing since I could walk. I lost my father at a young age but it never stopped me from the outdoors. A lot of my younger life was spent in freshwater but as I went on through the years I felt like I mastered it, so I moved to saltwater. My inspiration has always been to show people a great experience and watch the smiles on people, and I love to make kids have a good time with their parents or family.
Techniques
On Freedom we specialize in many different types of fishing whether it be bottom fishing for snapper, to going out 100 miles to chase a trophy marlin or tuna. We prefer trolling or bottom fishing. COMING SOON: We will be adding BAY FISHING CHARTERS on HIGH VOLTAGE a customized 20’ tunnel boat that will run in 6” of water along with 200 HP Evinrude Ocean Runner. Fully equipped with top of the line fishing gear. More to come on BAY FISHING!!
