Together Fin and Colin have fished in locations such as Cape Verde, Mexico, Venezuela, Bahamas, as well as charter fishing in North Carolina. Fishing in different locations under different conditions gives our crew the upper hand in many situations. The crew fishes over a half dozen tournaments a year catching everything from tuna to marlin.
