Charter captain. Commercial fisherman. Fish processor.

Captain Charles Webb wears many hats, and no two days are ever the same. His schedule is built around the weather, his charter guests always come first, and when the conditions are right, he shifts his focus to commercial fishing or the fish cleaning station.

It's a demanding lifestyle, but one fueled by a passion for life on the water.

Technology has transformed the way captains fish offshore.

Captain Mark Chambers shares the electronics he relies on aboard his boat, including Simrad displays and a Furuno Omni Sonar. While the sonar has become a valuable tool for locating bait and finding fish, Mark says there's still a place for instinct, experience, and old-school fishing techniques.

The best captains know how to balance both.
