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 realizing 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 commercial 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 Bermuda tournaments- 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 competed in tournaments abroad, 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 Billfish Series.

Last year, Captain Nick and angler Dennis Hayes boated a 594lb blue marlin to win the first daily of the 2009 Bermuda Big Game Classic. The fish was actually the Biggest Fish caught during the entire Tournament and could have won overall Biggest Blue Marlin. .... but that's a whole different story! At the end of the day, the Reel Hot crew were happy to take the prizes for a Daily Biggest Fish ....... but saying that....can't wait for this year's Classic....!
