Contributors
FishSkillHub's coverage is split by region and specialty — each destination guide and species piece is written by whoever on the team focuses on that fishery, and gear reviews come from the two contributors who run FishSkillHub's equipment testing. More on how the site is put together.
-
Alejandro Cruz
Alejandro writes FishSkillHub's Baja California coverage — roosterfish beaches, billfish grounds, and the road-trip logistics of fishing the peninsula outside the resort corridor. Marlin, jack crevalle, and snapper technique pieces are usually his.
-
Andre Gentle
Andre covers Belize's flats fisheries for FishSkillHub, where bonefish, permit, and tarpon are governed by strict catch-and-release rules most first-time visitors don't read until they're already on the water.
-
Arjun Mehta
Arjun writes FishSkillHub's Andaman Islands coverage, tracking how the monsoon calendar and a short, competitive GT season shape when a trip there is actually worth booking versus when the charter operators are just filling a slow month.
-
Bjorn Sigurdsson
Bjorn writes FishSkillHub's Iceland coverage, where the fishing season runs shorter than the tourist season and planning around the wrong window is the single most common mistake he sees visiting anglers make.
-
Carlos Mendoza
Carlos covers Los Roques for FishSkillHub, where he argues the bonefishing rewards a properly planned guided trip and punishes anyone trying to treat the archipelago as a DIY destination.
-
Cole Bennett
Cole writes FishSkillHub's Florida Keys and broader Florida species coverage — tarpon, snook, bonefish flats, and the charter-booking mistakes that turn a half-day trip into a wasted one. Grouper and sailfish technique pieces are usually his too.
-
Declan Murphy
Declan covers Irish sea fishing for FishSkillHub, pushing back on a freshwater-and-trout reputation he thinks undersells a genuinely solid saltwater fishery most visiting anglers never look into.
-
Delano Been
Delano covers Turks and Caicos offshore charters for FishSkillHub, with a recurring emphasis on confirming boat capacity and logistics before booking a group trip, not after.
-
Derek Sandoval
Derek writes FishSkillHub's West Coast species coverage — albacore, halibut, and yellowtail — with an emphasis on reading water temperature and current rather than defaulting to last season's spots.
-
Esteban Vargas
Esteban covers both coasts of Costa Rica for FishSkillHub — the Central Pacific's billfish reputation and the inshore light-tackle fishing that gets overshadowed by it. He's skeptical of any Costa Rica trip pitched as a sure thing.
-
Grant Whitaker
Grant covers East Coast species for FishSkillHub, from Chesapeake cobia to Carolina swordfish and Spanish mackerel, with a focus on the tide and seasonal timing that generic tackle-list advice tends to skip.
-
Heimana Teriipaia
Heimana writes about French Polynesia's lagoon, beach, and offshore fisheries for FishSkillHub, and spends most of his coverage on the point tourists miss: those are three different trips, booked three different ways.
-
Ibrahim Waheed
Ibrahim writes FishSkillHub's Maldives coverage, drawing on GT trips that didn't go to plan to explain what the marketing photos leave out about currents, timing, and boat access between atolls.
-
Jack Sutherland
Jack covers Great Barrier Reef and broader Australian saltwater fishing for FishSkillHub, from liveaboard GT trips to black marlin and queenfish technique, with a habit of running the actual cost math before calling a trip worth it.
-
Jerome Appadoo
Jerome covers Mauritius blue marlin fishing for FishSkillHub, focused on Black River's genuinely earned reputation alongside the fine print — season windows and boat availability — that trip planners tend to skip.
-
Josefa Waqa
Josefa writes FishSkillHub's Fiji coverage, working from the position that "Fiji fishing" is marketing shorthand for a dozen genuinely different fisheries, and that picking the wrong one under that umbrella wastes a trip.
-
Made Wirawan
Made writes FishSkillHub's Indonesian coverage, centered on how Komodo earned its reputation as a GT destination the hard way — through current, structure, and a fishery that punishes underprepared tackle.
-
Marcus Confiance
Marcus covers the Seychelles atolls for FishSkillHub — GT, milkfish, and dogtooth tuna technique among them — and focuses on picking the right atoll and gear for a trip that's expensive to get wrong.
-
Mason Whitfield
Mason writes a large share of FishSkillHub's gear reviews — rods, reels, line, and terminal tackle — built around the handful of specs that actually separate good gear from marketing copy, rather than feature counts.
-
Miguel Santos
Miguel covers Philippine island fishing for FishSkillHub, comparing what El Nido, Boracay, and Siargao actually demand from an angler's gear list rather than treating the archipelago as one interchangeable destination.
-
Rashid Al Suwaidi
Rashid writes FishSkillHub's Gulf coverage from Dubai, where deep-sea fishing works well as an add-on to a broader trip but rarely justifies flying in for on its own — a distinction he keeps front and center.
-
Salim Al Balushi
Salim writes FishSkillHub's Oman coverage, comparing the Musandam and Salalah/Hallaniyat fisheries and the genuinely different price and difficulty each one represents under the single "Oman GT fishing" label.
-
Shervon Bethel
Shervon covers Bahamian flats and blue-water fishing for FishSkillHub, from the conservation debates reshaping bonefishing to the wahoo runs offshore. He focuses on how the fishery has actually changed, not the postcard version still being sold.
-
Tiago Nunes
Tiago covers FishSkillHub's Atlantic Portugal fisheries — the Algarve's charter scene and the Azores' short, weather-dependent big-game window. His focus is the logistics anglers usually find out too late: which marinas actually run trips, and how narrow a marlin season really is.
-
Tomas Machava
Tomas writes FishSkillHub's Mozambique coverage, tracking a marlin fishery that runs on a tighter calendar than most trip listings admit, and the difference that timing makes to an angler's odds.
-
Travis Hargrove
Travis covers FishSkillHub's electronics and hard-goods reviews — fishfinders, trolling motors, tackle storage, and boat gear — with a focus on what fails under real saltwater use, not what looks good on a spec sheet.
