Marvis James

Member since May 2023 Nokomis, United States
Background
I'm from Trinidad & Tobago and was raised in Puerto Rico, awakening to the sites of cruise ships, fishing vessels, and crystal-clear beaches, waves crashing onshore, and a brisk salty breeze out my bedroom window. I spent most of my childhood fishing and surfing on the island of Puerto Rico. I love the places my love for the ocean has taken me, and the people I’ve met along the way. I moved to Orlando FL, and got married to my beautiful wife. Two wonderful kids later, the ocean called me, and I wanted to teach and share my passion of navigating & fishing the ocean to my kids and friends. So we find ourselves living in Venice, FL, and haven’t looked back. The saltwater fishery here is truly a gift, there is always something amazing to target in every season! I’ve picked up a variety of tactics and methods throughout the years and worked hard at perfecting my craft. As a Coast Guard Certified Captain, my passion for the ocean and safe boating is strong. It brings me great joy to share my knowledge of fishing with my kids and all who join me on a fishing adventure. Whether we are fishing nearshore for Snooks, Mangroves, and Redfish or shooting offshore 9 miles in search of Snappers and Groupers, every trip is a chance for an adventure. The main objectives of any of my outings are the safety of all my passengers and crew and the pursuit of a memorable day.
Techniques
Nearshore and Offshore Light and Medium tackle Trolling, Deep Drop, Gigs Cut and Live Bait
