Member since February 2022 Panama City Beach, United States
Background
Capt. Jeremy was born and raised in Panama City and he grew up fishing every chance he got. When he was 16, he started getting the opportunity to learn and fish on charters through a family friend. The captain did this on and off through high school until he joined the Air Force. He served 4 years and when he came back home is when he started fishing full-time for a living. He first started decking on a few local charter boats during the season. Soon after, he began commercially fishing during the winter and spring months, which would put him in the gulf for a good 250+ days a year. In 2006, he got his 100-Ton license. He now thinks the thing that gets me excited about fishing is when someone catches a nice fish and the look on their face after it's landed, especially the kids. Captain Jeremy feels blessed that gets to do this for a living. He likes catching all kinds but would have to say he love Grouper fishing and live baiting Kingfish.
Techniques
I like it all and I'm always looking to learn and try new stuff. The more tricks you have up your sleeve just helps separate you from the guys who just go through the motions.
