Mark Nichols

Member since September 2024 Morehead City, United States
Background
I grew up fishing both freshwater and saltwater in North Carolina. Living on the Great Lakes exposed me to a different fishery. Previous to returning home to North Carolina, I spent many years fishing in Southern California for all kinds of Pelagic species. I bring all the things that I have learned from these vastly different fisheries to bear when we fish the North Carolina coastal and offshore waters.
Techniques
I use a variety of methods depending on the species and what they are eating. Jigging, Popping, Trolling, Chunk bait, Live Bait, Casting are just some of the techniques that work well for me.
