David Peterson, Retired Charter Captain & Englund's Own Expert: "Electric Reels, Gulp! & Long Leader Success"
David grew up in the marine and fishing industry and started ocean fishing at the age of 4 with his Grandpa out of Ilwaco. Throughout the 80's he deck handed on charter boats out of Depoe Bay, before moving into working in the parts/services departments of boating centers in the Portland area from 1990 to 2006. David moved back to Depoe Bay in 2011, pursuing his dream of owning a charter boat. Over the next 2 years, David ran a 6 man boat before taking command of the 43' Delta "Hot Pursuit" out of Dockside Charters. After over 135 successful long leader trips, he retired from running boats on a daily basis. He is now a familiar and knowledgeable face at our Englund Marine, Newport store.

Dave "Teton" Phillips: Raymarine & Shimano: "Tuna Time: Let's Talk Albacore & Jigging Gear"
Dave's passion is chasing tuna offshore in blue water. The fishery is a century old pioneered by commercial fishermen, but newer techniques added to these tried and true methods employed by Dave and others bring this high energy tuna light tackle sport fishery to a new level. High catch rates, the prospects of running up to 60 miles offshore, navigating tough bar crossings and fickle weather patterns add to the challenge.
Dave works with Shimano as a Master Brand Advocate promoting their jigging, bait and trolling gear and works with Raymarine as a Level 1 Pro Ambassador working with customers and dealers of marine electronics as well as other marine manufacturers such as ShoXs Seats, FLIR, and Danco Pliers. He also volunteers on the Board of the Oregon Tuna Classic tournament series, a multi-event tuna tournament benefitting local food banks. As Dave often mentions in front of other tuna junkies, salmon fishing is a gentleman's sport and tuna fishing is full on combat fishing.
