Captain
Jason Calhoun

Member since August 2021 Key Largo, United States
Background
I moved to the Keys when I was 21, but I've lived and fished in Florida most of my life. I worked on lobster/stone crab boats for years, but decided to get a 'real job.' I never left the water or fishing. I'm happy to be back doing what I love and sharing it with others. Do what you love and you never work a day in your life, well that's the plan.
Techniques
I like to use live bait when I can, but also have great success with frozen. The techniques I use depend on many factors. Fishing techniques depends on the species, the weather, the season, the wind and the fish. I drift, deep drop, jig, troll, bottom fish and others. As long as I'm on the water, I'll figure out what the fish want.
