Gerald Wilder

Member since August 2017 Fernandina Beach, United States
Background
I was born and raised here in the Amelia Island area. My father was a commercial shrimper for 40 years. We worked on the shrimp boat during summers. My family also had Littlefield fish camp during my teenage years, so I am well acquainted with the local waters. My goal is to go out and be safe and catch fish, with sightseeing along the way. I enjoy watching people catch fish and having a good time. We take out a lot of kids, and they are always welcome.
Techniques
Casting live shrimp on cork riggs and also we fish on botom with cut crab and shrimp.
