Mark Westra

Member since April 2022 Fort Myers, United States
Background
I grew up with fishing being a big part of my life, family owned and still in business today, Lehr's Economy Tackle has been around since 1956 in North Fort Myers, Florida. Lehr's Economy Tackle is one of the oldest tackle shop in the area and was the first fly fishing shop in the S.W. Florida.
Techniques
Flattop Charters predominately uses live bait on 95% of its charters using light tackle, but will also try to adhere to the anglers method of choice. (Flyfishing, artificial, etc.) If the angler wants to try his/her hand at catching something a little larger, (tarpon, goliath), heavy tackle is also provided.
