3 Sea Specialized Tackle - Nick Caplanis

Born & raised in East Central Florida Nick has been saltwater fishing along the east coast since a young age. He is passionate about all things hunting & fishing but finds his groove offshore in the bluewater hunting pelagics. His career in construction management carried him throughout Florida and opened the door to a multitude of fishing opportunities and experiences. Now residing back home in Brevard County with his wife and daughter Nick continues his construction career and operates 3 Sea Specialty Tackle, producing a small variety of offshore trolling and deep rigs 

Fishin Prints - Zach Coldsnow

Zach Coldsnow Is the owner behind Fishin' Prints. He is a lifelong angler and has the opportunity to fish waters all over the world. From the Bahamas to the Kenai River up in Alaska, growing up all over has allowed him to experience waters all over the world. Specializing in providing DIY Gyotaku Fish Printing Kits. His unique product takes the traditional art of gyotaku, which is difficult in nature due to the materials used in the process, and turns it into a printing press for the average person to be able to print the fish they catch. Using cloth specifically sourced for the process and food grade cuttlefish ink which is actually an ingredient in squid ink pasta (it is meant to be consumed!) so you are able to fillet and eat your fish after. By creating this unique ready-to-print kit accessible to all, Zach encourages conservation, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for fisheries around the world!
