Captain Ken Mercer has been fishing since a very young age and it's always been his #1 passion. He specializes in handlining, spinning, bottom fishing, drifting, and fly fishing and takes his customers above reefs and wrecks, as well as flats fishing in shallow waters. Besides being a jack-of-all-trades on the boat, Capt. Ken is a tournament fisherman and philanthropist as well. He participates in charitable competitions, such as the Pediatric Cancer Tournament in Tampa and Cast for Kids in Port Charlotte. When he's not giving back to the community, Ken is most likely with clients, showing them the time of their lives! Get ready for an adventure, book your trip today, and get ready to catch some amazing fish in Bokeelia, FL!
