Captain
Merwan Massa

Member since October 2021 Darien, United States
Background
Captain has been living in the area for over 20 years and has consistently fished each year. His love for the water and fishing adventures keeps him on the water as much as possible. The captain has got all the fundamentals and knows the area very well. He is excited to transition from just taking family and friends to sharing his passion with anglers from all over.
Techniques
The captain loves the challenge of finding stacked-up Redfish, Trout, and Flounder. Popping corks with live bait are his preferred method, but when bait is slim, he has no trouble turning to artificial. He also feels the i-Pilot has been a game-changer. Adding mullet to the baitwell by casting will give you the advantage of presenting a bait it feeds on and loves. The captain is set up with Penn reels spooled with braid on ugly sticks. His Garmin chartplotter and depth finder is loaded with all the secret spots.
