Luke Higgins

Member since July 2022 Mount Desert, United States
Background
Captain Luke has fished the waters around Mount Desert Island since he got his first skiff at 5 years old. As the son of a lobsterman, he grew up on a small island off the coast of Maine that can only be accessed by boat. He has fished the waters from Maine to Florida: "I have fished my whole life, from lobsters to Giant Tunas and everything in between. The ocean is where I feel most at home".
Techniques
For Tuna, I fish live baits on Penn 130 reels. Sometimes, we go after them by kite fishing, or drift fishing.
