Captain
John Ellis

Member since March 2022 New Smyrna Beach, United States
Background
I am a fourth-generation charter captain in my family. My grandfather and his father have fished these waters for over 50 years. Being the youngest captain in the family comes with all their knowledge and experience mixed with my modern-day technique to ensure I always catch fish and make the best of my time on the water. The love for deep sea fishing has gone for generations in my family and is something we all look forward to for many more days to come. It is as the good old saying goes, give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
Techniques
I enjoy all types of saltwater fishing. Although I really enjoy catching big Redfish and Snook in the Intracoastal Waterway. And love to wreck fish for various types of Snapper, Cobia, Jack, African Pompano, and Grouper offshore. As well as troll the beautiful blue waters of the Gulf Stream for pelagic species such as Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and Sailfish!
