Captain
Gavin Truelove

Member since February 2022 Costa Adeje, Spain
Background
Fishing was Skipper Gavin's lifetime hobby that progressed to owning a fishing boat, then went professional since owning a 200 break HP outboard on his 22' fishing boat. He takes you after some of the biggest fish in the sea.
Techniques
Depends on the day as each day is different. What the skipper does is ask his clients which method they prefer. He finds it important that his guests become an integral part of their fishing trip.
