CREW
Your crew will consist of one captain and one deckhand.
The 3 to 1 ratio of fishermen to crew is hard to beat, giving us lots of time for hands on teaching.

Captain John aka Reverend Captain Cool Breeze

Captain John (Cool Breeze) has been chasing tuna and pelagic fish in the NW and Mexico for over 30 years. He was part of teams that won the Deep Canyon Challenge in 2014 and the Oregon Tuna Classic in 2016. John competed in the IGFA Offshore World Championship in 2015. John holds the current International Game Fish Association (IGFA) All Tackle Length World Record for Albacore Tuna caught on a Fly rod and until recently he held the IGFA All Tackle Length record for Albacore caught on conventional gear. In addition to having his captain's license, John is also an ordained minister thus the Reverend/Captain title. He prefers to run the deck rather than driving the boat, so on most trips you will find him putting his skills to work helping clients catch fish. John is passionate about Albacore fishing and literally wrote the book on live bait tuna fishing, Livebait 101.

Captain Craig Brewer.
|
Craig has been sport and commercial tuna fishing for over 10 years. He has won the Deep Canyon Challenge and competed at the Offshore World Championship. You might also recognize Craig from the Netflix series Battlefish, which he was a part of fishing on FV Opportunaty. Craig is high energy and a blast to fish with.

Jenn, the person who gets things done.
|
Jennifer does all of scheduling, runs the books, and makes sure that you know the when, where, and what. She helped bring Shake N Bake home through the Panama Canal and knows the boat pretty well.

Deny, Chief Engineer
|
Deny is the guy who keeps everything working.
Deny is a shipwright and all around boat genius who is in charge Shake N Bake. He is the #1 reason why we have yet to lose a day to a mechanical issue (except when the guys driving hit things). Without Deny, the boat would spend a lot of time tied up to the dock rather than fishing. |
