Captain
Gary Goodwin

Member since January 2016 Orange Beach, United States
Background
Captain Gary started fishing in the Gulf of Mexico when he was 5 years old and started doing it for a living at the age of 15. He knew from that time that he wanted to make this a career which he still enjoys today. He is the owner and captain of Jamie Charters, as well as Legacy Charters, on board which Captain Mandy runs the trips.
Techniques
Cobia fishing is one of Captain Fary's favorite types of fishing, but he feels that as long as he's catching fish, all species are fun.
