Captain
Wicked Tuna FV Pinwheel

Captain Drake Roy grew up fishing up and down the East Coast. From tournament fishing to over a decade working in the commercial tuna industry, Drake knows exactly how to land a tuna on both conventional gear but also spin rods. Drake spent his summers on the FV Moonshine, which led him to be featured on Wicked Tuna, aboard the FV Pinwheel. Spending more time than almost any other 25 year old, Drake has fished the Canyons more than most people on the East Coast.
