We’re in Cabo San Lucas with Captain Spencer Johnson of the Freebird, fishing this week with Lone Stars Angling Club and Scotty Shephler. Spencer tells the full story. How a bay guide in Texas ends up selling everything he owns, moving to St. Thomas with two duffel bags, learning to dive, fishing the North Drop and the fads, and eventually running a big-game boat full time. We also get into King Ranch life, population management and nilgai, duck season, water shortages on the Gulf coast, and what makes Cabo’s release fishing different from the live bait black marlin game. Spencer’s path shows how much of this life comes down to timing, curiosity, and the willingness to go all in.
