Captain
Joseph Paton

Member since April 2022 Belmar, United States
Background
My father introduced me to the sport at a young age and I was always driven to be on the ocean bending a fishing rod. By the age of 15, I had secured a job as a deckhand on the Dauntless where I then proceeded to get my 100-ton Master Captains license. I have been running trips ever since I got my license in 2015.
Techniques
I enjoy all fisheries, but there's something about anchoring up on a rough piece of structure, dropping down a piece of bait, and never knowing what will jump on a hook next. That separates bottom fishing from all other fisheries for me.
