James Brickenden

Member since November 2021 Vancouver, Canada
Background
Captain James worked as an offshore driller and started fishing off the rigs in the North Sea and West Africa. Since his rig shut down in 2015, he's been running charters and he just loves showing people where the fish is!
Techniques
Captain James loves fishing whether it’s trolling, jigging, spearfishing, or handlining! Whatever works and keeps bringing in the fish is fine by him.
