Justin Gay

Member since July 2022 Vero Beach, United States
Background
Captain Justin grew up fishing the beautiful waters of Vero Beach, Sebastian, and Ft. Pierce. He's lived in Vero Beach his entire life. His passion for fishing came from his father and uncle who taught him all about fishing in any body of water from as early as 4 years old. They have since passed and he is proud to carry on the love of fishing. He's spent the majority of his life with a fishing pole in his hands. He feels after each trip you're not a customer, but a friend. Seeing the smiles on each person's face as they reel in their catch brings him joy.
Techniques
Captain Justin fishes with every method needed to get you hooked up.
