Jonathon Reynolds

Member since September 2022 Islamorada, United States
Background
I am a lifelong fisherman from South Florida. As an athlete and coach as well, I love a strong team on the boat. I fished most of my career competitively in tournaments, but I enjoy teaching inexperienced anglers even more.
Techniques
We specialize in live bait fishing and sight fishing. Our daily goal is to achieve moments throughout every day of intense flurry bites. This demands team work and energy from everyone on board and is extremely exciting.
