Spotlight: Captain Brian Coombs of Get Tight Sportfishing
Based out of Boston, Massachusetts, Captain Brian Coombs has carved out a reputation for putting clients on fish with precision, hustle, and an uncanny knack for knowing when and where the bite is about to turn on. As the founder of Get Tight Sportfishing, Brian runs a high-energy operation focused on striped bass, false albacore, bonito, groundfish, and everything else that draws serious anglers to New England waters.
But what sets Brian apart isn’t just his experience — it’s how he uses data, memory, and intuition together to keep clients’ lines tight. That’s where the Log.Fish fishing log comes into play.
“I’ve found over the years that my memory can play tricks on me,” Brian admits. “I’ll swear a certain tide or moon phase was on fire — until I check the log and see the truth. The app helps me stay honest and sharp.”
Logging Every Trip — Like Clockwork
For the 2025 season, Brian is committing to logging every catch into the app. From blitzing stripers inshore to deep-water bait spots for haddock, everything goes in — including water temp, weather patterns, bait activity, and even gut feelings.
These logs aren’t just for show. They’re part of a larger system Brian has built to stay ahead of shifting patterns in New England’s unpredictable bite windows.
Exclusive Spot Drops — When the Captain’s Off
While most days you’ll find Brian on the water with clients, he occasionally takes a breather — and when he does, he’ll be offering a few select fishing spots directly through the app. These include:
- Groundfish drops for cod, haddock, and pollock
- Bait hotspots for anglers looking to stack up macks
- Seasonal striped bass zones when the bite is red hot
Each drop is based on real-time intel from Brian’s recent logs and updated patterns — not leftover info from months ago. For local anglers, it’s a rare chance to access a professional’s inner circle.
