Captain
Aaron Highers

Member since March 2022 Port Orange, United States
Background
Started inshore fishing when I was a young boy and then moved on to offshore as a teenager. Later I began taking people fishing with me. Seeing their excitement and happiness from reeling in trophy fish quickly became more rewarding for me than me catching the fish. So here I am now, guiding people in the right direction to catch their personal best trophy fish!
Techniques
I like fishing live bait with as light as tackle as possible. Some days when the bite is tough I like to cover more area by pitching jigs and lures along mangroves and docks. Offshore bottom fishing for dinner is always fun because you never know what you might get. Trolling for pelagics has always been another one of my favorites.
