Scott Brown

Member since June 2022 Avalon, United States
Background
Captain Scott Brown says hello! He's been plying the East Coast since he was a baby. From Key West to New York, and in between – including the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas and especially Jupiter, Fl. The captain's marine career has spanned 6 decades. Many captains have given him credit for helping to spawn their careers as well. Capt. Scott started working in Stone Harbor professionally in 1973 aboard the 73’ party boat “Capt. Cramer”. However, he rapidly graduated to sport fishing aboard the “Bounty Hunter” under the legendary auspices of Captain Ronald Lane (also sailing from Stone Harbor). Over the years, one philosophy has dominated Captain Scott's consciousness. His love for the ocean and its amazing soothing and healing powers. He's found the expanses of the ocean spiritual and he often refers to it as his church. Captain Scott welcomes you to join him on the Rising Tide. He always has a great time out on the water, and he bets you will too.
Techniques
Captain Scott caters to every level of angler. From novice to expert. He adores deep sea fishing for Tuna and Mahi and Marlin, whether trolling, chunking, or live bait. Although he must admit that his favorite fish is Wahoo, so he always has something special to target it. Closer to shore, the captain cuts his teeth on the plethora of wrecks and reefs off southern New Jersey and Fort Pierce Florida, catching Seabass and Blackfish (Tautog) up north and snappers and groupers down south. He has a vast accumulation of spots and offers the best opportunity to be productive. The captain also specializes in fishing back bays, up north for striped bass, trout and flounder and down south for snook, pompano and tarpon. Wherever the bite is, he can recommend a package that offers customized solutions to every situation including hybrid combinations. Nobody has more experience than Captain Scott and his equipment is state-of-the-art.
