Member since June 2022 Fort Myers, United States
Background
A USCG OUPV and Master's License holder, Capt. Ethan Hanson is a 6th-generation angler living in Fort Myers, Florida. He has been roaming the waters of Southwest, FL for over 20 years. He is the great-great-great-grandson of Capt. Manuel Gonzalez, the founding father of Fort Myers, FL who pulled into the Fort on a boat that set sail from Spain in 1847, making it safe to say the water is in Capt. Ethan's blood. His love for the water has been evident for a long time – from mowing lawns during the summer as a young kid, making just enough gas money to take out the Jon boat hoping to catch one specimen of Snook, to growing up and winning some of the most prestige fishing tournaments in the area. Having a firm idea of what he wanted to do with his life after college, Capt. Ethan had the pleasure of working under Capt. Bill Hammond and Angela Hammond of Endless Summer Charters. There, he could not only take his skills to the next level but also he was taught how to provide his clients a true saltwater experience.
Techniques
Captain Ethan's favorite and most sought style of fishing is sight fishing for Snook, Redfish, or Tarpon. For him, there’s no feeling like watching a big game fish eat a bait that you presented.
