Background
Capt. Vincent runs trips out of Gold Coast aboard a 22’ Trimcraft. These waters are known for Whiting and Bream and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're jigging or spinning. With intimate knowledge of these waters, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
