Gil Coombes

Member since May 2021 Fort Pierce, United States
Background
I started as a mate on head boats when I was 14 years old fishing the Northern Canyons of Delaware and Maryland and even worked the offshore waters of the Carolinas. Now for almost 20 years I’ve been fishing the waters of Florida, primarily Fort Pierce and Stuart running charters and providing clients the best experience ever when it comes to offshore fishing. I have fished tournament circuits, however there is nothing like having clients onboard catching a “ bucket list” fish on your boat. I love to hear the scream of reels and work my hardest to put fish on the boat and provide clients an enjoyable day on the water. Come fish with one of the Top Captains in Fort Pierce. I promise you will not regret it as we give 110% from the time we leave the dock until we return back to port safely.
Techniques
Trolling is by far our favorite method of fishing as their is nothing more exhilarating then watching a fish hit a bait at full speed and ripping off 300 yards of line. Plus we cover more ground to find more fish We also live bait for some species as when fish are at the utmost finicky of hitting trolled baits We also site cast to fish holding on floating objects such as weed lines and to those just up cruising the surface.
