Captain
Brian Riley

Member since December 2021 Holiday, United States
Background
Captain Brian has been fishing the Tarpon Springs area for more than two decades. As a carpenter, he didn't have a traditional work schedule, so he would find himself on the water three to five times a week, many times staying out from before sunrise to nearly sunset. After getting older, he decided to get his captain's license so that he can share his love of fishing and the water with others.
Techniques
Captain Brian uses spinning reels and a combination of live bait and lures, depending on what you're targeting and the conditions.
