Captain
Eric Newberry

Member since July 2022 Venice, United States
Background
Captain Eric was born and raised in Plaquemines Parish and has been fishing these waters since he was born. He got into offshore fishing in his early teenage years and hasn’t looked back since. Captain Eric charter fishes because he loves the way people react to their first Tuna, Swordfish, or Mahi. It’s what keeps the captain doing what he does.
Techniques
Swordfishing would be Captain Eric's go-to. Dropping 1600’ of line to the bottom and hooking up to a dinosaur is quite the rush. Live baiting for Tuna and watching it blow up behind the boat with multiple rods going off can get hectic but the captain will do it over and over again.
