Captain
James Loisel

Member since February 2023 St. Johns, United States
Background
Captain James Loisel grew up outside of Central Florida where he was on the water everyday. From a young age he was into fishing, whether it was chasing around Largemouth bass at the local lakes or fishing the Mosquito Lagoon for schooled up Redfish, I just loved the hunt and the thrill of the fight. I moved to the Historic Coast back in 2016 where I attended the University of North Florida. While I moved to North Florida for school, my priorities were very much focused on Learning the waterways in the Region. I started my Guide Service not long after that as I wanted to take people on an adventure and get to share the feeling that I first felt long ago that made me want to become a Guide. I strive for excellence everyday I am on the water and am very competitive to always want to do better, that means I will give you my 100% on your trip to make sure we have the opportunities to have the most success possible. I offer both Inshore trips on a Maverick flats boat as well as a Pathfinder 2500 depending on the trip and size of group.
Techniques
Light tackle, Fly Fishing, Artificial, Live Bait
