Jonathan Gelman

Member since January 2022 Marco Island, United States
Background
Captain Jonathan has been fishing since he was big enough to hold a rod and has been exploring the waters around Marco Island for over 25 years. The captain has worked in the restaurant industry since he was 12 years old and has just recently made his passion a career, making his dream come true. He enjoys taking all anglers but has a real passion for teaching the basics to new anglers and getting a kid on its first fish. Captain Jonathan feels honored to get to be part of a special moment between family and friends.
Techniques
This truly depends on the anglers. Captain Jonathan loves fishing with artificial lures along the mangroves and docks, but also knows the advantages of live bait, especially for new anglers. A lot of the time you'll fish both
