Our July meeting was Garett Yarbrough with Hittin’ Bottom Charters. His topic of discussion is “How to Make a successful day out of charter fishing in the summertime. From catching live bait, to bump trolling, and also bottom fishing as well.” More on Captain Yarbrough:

The Atlantic Ocean and the East Coast of Florida is home to Captain Garett Yarbrough, and it has been his entire life. Garett started as a full-time mate on a deep-sea fishing charter boat at the age of fifteen and hasn’t quit fishing since. He has chased sport fish all over the world including the East Coast of the United States, the Caribbean Sea, and Central and South America. Captain Garett Yarbrough has many great achievements in the world of offshore sport fishing, but more importantly, he has a deep passion and understanding of fishing the Atlantic Ocean. Captain Garett Yarbrough now has his own charter fishing business which is a 31 foot Contender called Hittin’ Bottom charters, which can be found at Little Jim’s Bait and Tackle in Fort Pierce Florida.
