Captain Hugo Prada
Originally from Argentina, Capt. Hugo grew up fishing the South Atlantic for bottom fish and occasionally chasing golden Dorados along the Paraná River. His childhood summers were spent up north, pulling lobster traps with family.
Capt. Hugo moved to the States for further education after finishing school in Argentina, earning a degree in Oceanography from the Florida Institute of Technology. During this time, he also became a scuba diving instructor, working across various islands. While in Bermuda he was introduced to commercial fishing, where he quickly learned to fish for wahoo on the Argus Bank, all while eyeing the marlin boats in the deeper waters, dreaming of joining them.
In the early 2000s, Capt. Prada headed to the US Virgin Islands, aiming to join tournament boats. His persistence on the docks paid off, allowing him to fish the famed North Drop with renowned captains and mates.
After a stint back in Argentina, where he dabbled in entrepreneurship, the call of the sea brought Capt. Hugo back to St. Thomas. Despite a delay due to the global pandemic, he returned to what he loves most—charter fishing in the beautiful waters of St. Thomas, where he’s been ever since.
Captain KJ Terry
Captain KJ Terry’s journey into the world of fishing began in the tranquil waters of South Central Arkansas, a place where his childhood was filled with the simple joys of reeling in bass and catfish from the local ponds and creeks. This early passion for angling laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong pursuit. It was a twist of fate that brought KJ to the vibrant shores of St. Thomas five years ago, but it was the allure of the island’s vibrant lifestyle and the rich diversity of its marine life that convinced him to call it home.
Since embracing the island life, Captain KJ has quickly made a name for himself in the competitive fishing scene of St. Thomas. In just half a decade, he has distinguished himself with impressive victories in local tournaments, claiming top honors in not one, but two Wahoo tournaments, alongside similar triumphs in Mahi and Kingfish competitions. These achievements are a testament to his skill, dedication, and deep understanding of the local waters and their inhabitants.
For those looking to experience the thrill of fishing in St. Thomas, Captain KJ Terry stands out as a true professional in the field. His expertise, honed both in the freshwater challenges of his youth and the dynamic marine environment of the Caribbean, ensures an unforgettable adventure on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, a day out fishing with Captain KJ is guaranteed to be filled with excitement, learning, and, of course, plenty of fish.
