Chad Braga

Member since May 2021 Newport, United States
Background
Come visit Newport and spend a day fishing with Captain Chad. He's a friendly angler who knows how to make your day on the water as good as possible, so join him inshore and offshore and have lots of fun catching fish!
Techniques
jig n pop style fishing live bait when needed occasionally trolling but rare as I like the clients to have rods in their hands the entire trip. Each season technic, style, and colors change. I have this fishery dialed and utilize what needs to be done to land your trophy fish of a lifetime
