Capt. Shawn Rotella - "Fishing Kona Style"
Manage episode 319826887 series 2829134
Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!
On this episode we sit down with our good friend and fellow charter captain, Shawn Rotella.
Shawn originally hails from Virginia Beach, VA and currently resides in Kona, Hawaii and has been running a successful charter fishing business (Night Runner Sportfishing) in Kona for 15+ years.
Initially, Shawn made the move to Hawaii to professionally surf, but plans quickly changed and he found himself on the path to being a full-time fisherman. We met Shawn several years ago through the tackle industry and lure making and we have been great friends ever since. Fast forward a few years and we have been lucky enough to fish together several times; both in Kona and up here in the Northeast.
Shawn is great example of a passionate and intelligent fisherman. His ability to stay relaxed, trust his instincts, and notice patterns on the water is incredible. He is also an extremely detail oriented guy. Every aspect of his tackle and vessel is rigged to perfection and is purpose built. Having a ton of experience with fiberglass and resin certainly helps him when it comes to preventative maintenance, customization, and innovation aboard the Night Runner.
We always look forward to sharing a conversation with Shawn. He's an incredible story teller and is always willing to share knowledge.
We hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did!
