New school meets old school when it comes to proper angling training

INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT: BRAD GOODRICH & CHARLES PERRY

The old saying "There's more than one way to skin a cat" couldn't be more relevant when it comes to teaching people to fish. Fishing itself is a culmination of techniques that have evolved, yet somehow have managed to stay the same, for thousands of years. Certain variables are always constant, and even though the tackle (slowly) gets more advanced, fishing requires a basic understanding of not only the species you're fishing for but also how to get yourself connected. If you've ever caught a bluegill, I promise you can catch a blue marlin, if you can stay focused. Capt. Brad Goodrich and Charles Perry are two Marlin Expeditions instructors who bring together the notion of old-school basics and new-school techniques. And to say we are blessed to have them on our staff is an understatement.

CAPT. BRAD GOODRICH

I have been lucky enough to fish and work with Goodrich for several years now, both on boats I used to run and at Marlin Expeditions. If you were to close your eyes and imagine an exceptional mate-one who is excited to be there just for the sake of it, and one who is just competitive enough to keep you interested Brad is it. It's always story time, but not in the sense of, "This is what I've done-aren't I great?" But the stories he tells always have a point, a learning message, if you will. I don't think he does it on purpose; I just think he's a people person, and genuinely is always in his students' corner.
