Captain
Jayson Self

Member since July 2017 Destin, United States
Background
Captain Jayson Self began his fishing career with vacations to Destin back in 1985. Catfishing and Pinfishing got him hooked for life. Jayson spent the next four summers in Destin with his family, where he fished weekly with Captain Tommy Browning, the local legend. By the late 1980s, Jayson was a tournament angler, having fished with no other than his own mother as a teammate. But it wasn’t until 2015 when Jayson was finally able to realize the family dream of having his own charter boat. He now makes a living fishing full time and is exceptional at what he does.
Techniques
Our style of fishing on the King of Kings is to have fun, we take what we do serious so you will have the best experience possible. We have fished with the best captains in Destin, we take a little bit of old school and mix it with new techniques and that has given us very good success.
