Captain Brett grew up fishing all over the Texas coast, and after 20 years in the Coast Guard decided to settle down in Corpus Christi where he originally began his love of fishing when he was 14 yrs old. He has grown to truly enjoy watching other people catch fish and is excited to help other anglers catch their own!

He can do it all: Live bait - drifting - and even wade fishing (artificial or live bait - you choose!)
