Captain
Rich Johnson

Member since March 2020 Gulfport, United States
Background
I am a veteran and former paramedic. I started fishing piers and breakwaters in Southern California at the age of 8. At the age of 14 I joined the Sea explorers which turned the ocean and fishing into a real passion. At the age of 16, I started working as a deckhand on boats out of Newport Beach California. That is where the dream of being a charter boat captain began. Currently I fish the offshore waters off Anna Maria Island, St Petersburg, and Clearwater Beach.
Techniques
Trolling, drifting, anchored, live bait, or sight fishing.

Back to back deep water paying off jicely for Scotty Jโ€™s. Lots of large trigger and porgys along with some very nice Amberjacks and Dolphin are coming over the side. Fiahing depths between 130 and 170 feet. Trips do require a 10 or 12hr trip. Its a long day but the pay off has been worth it.
