Growing up on the east coast of Florida, fishing was a big part of my childhood. I spent a lot of time fishing the Atlantic & local canal systems for Peacock Bass. Fishing became an addiction for me at a young age and I have always had a passion for the hunt and adrenaline rush associated with fishing. After moving to SWFL in my teens the fishery changed immensely causing a whole new rush and drive to learn a new fishery. I have been fishing SWFL for about 15 years now and this is home. I would love the opportunity to take you on a trip and show you everything my home waters have to offer.
