Lets Go Fishing
Fish with Captain Bobby McGuinness on exciting overnighters at the FADs on his 60-foot Thumper. FADs (fish aggregating devices) are buoys placed on the ocean surface or just below it at 40, 60, 80 miles, and even further off the coast. Somehow, they attract fish, especially marlin. Only Bobby knows where they are placed.
Bobby McGuinness is an outstanding saltwater sportfishing captain and one of the most respected and personable figures in the industry. Between bites, his stories, experience, and relaxed approach make time on the water just as enjoyable as the fishing itself.
