The Captain & Vessel

The Captain (US Coast Guard Certified)

Captain John grew up fishing and has mastered many aspects of fishing from fly fishing for wild trout in a mountain streams to trolling for tuna offshore.  From a very young age his love of fishing helped him gain a solid grasp on the art of catching fish.  The natural progression of a skilled fisherman takes years and Captain John's fascination with the art of catching fish led him to many trophies in both fresh and saltwater.  From a young age Captain John seemed to have a knack for catching fish.  Attention to detail and patterns while on the water has allowed him to understand fish behavior and most importantly how their behavior can be used to an anglers advantage.  Captain John will work hard to share his knowledge with his guests and enjoys watching others share the love that he has for fishing.

The Vessel

Procastinator Sportfishing is currently running a 24 foot center console.  The boat named "Rodbender II" is a 1992 Sea Ray Laguna powered by 2007 Mercury Optimax twin outboards.  The Rodbender's deep v, and ample power make for a comfortable yet fast trip across the water.  The vessel is equipped with all necessary safety equipment and is also further equipped with an EPIRB.  Electronics consist of Icom Radio, Lowrance x47 fishfinder, LCX 26 C HD color network system with fuel monitoring, GPS and high performance sonar.  Electronics and accessories are powered by 3 house batteries and 2 dedicated and isolated starting batteries for trouble free operation.  The Rodbender is built for fishing with 8 flush mount rod holders in the stern, 6 rocket launcher rod holders in the T-top, 4 vertical rod holders in the leaning post, 6 vertical rod holders on the center and under gunnel rod holder port and starboard.  A 40 gallon livewell and an additional 20 gallon bait well allow us to bring plenty of lively bait aboard.  Storage is generous for both your gear and your days catch.  Captain John takes great pride in a clean, well maintained and well equipped vessel and a day aboard the Rodbender II will surely be as safe and trouble free as the sport of offshore fishing can be.
