Is the real deal. Super humble his name should be way bigger. If I could hand pick my next trip. I would choose Jeff driving. Beach style and goes to show the internet. I thought he was more jock style which is fine. Really enjoy his vibe and taught me some tricksJeff Debuys
Hawkeye. Stoked I got a few trips in with him driving and you fishing. Drove over then pioneered Collonet. Those 3 day winter specials sure were funNorm Kagawa - Captain Shogun
He has aged a lot in the past 6 years. I have pictures with my son fishing on the Indy and he was running it. You see the above pic and compare it with the one with my Son and Jeff and you probably wouldn't even knew it was Jeff. I've known Jeff since the days he Worked on the City of Redondo in the late 70's/ early 80's. He is one hell of a fisherman and a Great Guy.Is the real deal.

My FIL had charters every other Fri in the summer/fall from the late 70’s to around the time you were there. There was a guy named Mel from the Longfin that helped with the Fri charters for awhile.
