Reel Hot Captain   [book now]

Captain Nick New, known locally as Trickshot, is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to navigating the waters around Bermuda and is great at finding the fish. He was introduced to fishing at an early age when his Dad would charter the Sea Wolfe and the rest, as they say, is history... he was a born fisherman! 

He has been fishing in Bermuda waters for almost all of his life, beginning his career as a youngster with Capt Russell Young Sr. on the Sea Wolfe over 25 years ago.

Before realising his dream of owning his own charter boat, Captain Nick worked as a mate on many of Bermuda's top charter boats:- the Barnes' boat "Blue Chip";  Joe Kelly's boat "Messaround"; and on the "Sea Wolfe" again with Russell Young Junior.

He has also owned and run his own comercial fishing boat, "Trickshot", for many years and certainly has experience with putting fish on the boat, as this has been his main source of income. Nick also holds a Lobster Pot License and now continues to run Trickshot as a separate commercial enterprise for providing fish and lobsters to local restaurants.

Over the years Captain Nick has competed and worked in countless tournaments, reeling in many marlins, sharks, wahoo and tuna.  Nick has also been regularly hired by American boat owners and Captains as a guide /mate for well known tournaments such as the Bermuda Big Game Classic and Billfish Blast, as his knowledge of local waters is sound and expansive. He has also competed in tournaments abroad, most recently working with Captain Charles Kersey on the "Big Game", where they won the 40th Annual Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament, the second leg of the prestigious 2007 South Carolina Governor's Cup Billfishing Series.
