Captain
Eric Armstrong

Member since May 2021 Galveston, United States
Background
I spent 20 years in the military and was always stationed near the water. So when I got out in 2017 my family and I wanted to settle near the coast. Since moving to the Texas coast in 2017 I fell in love with fishing and I spend all my free time on the water. When fishing I'm usually catering to family and friends making sure they are catching fish and having a good time. I discovered I preferred fishing in the company of others even more than fishing by myself so I decided to become a guide.
Techniques
When fishing in the bay I prefer to bottom fish with live bait, work plastics, or throw a popping cork depending on the weather and structure. When offshore, I usually bottom fish with live bait, work a jig, or troll.
