An avid angler since he can remember, Captain Rocky always wanted to make a living on the water. As he says himself, he never was a "dry kid, always in the water!" He's been fishing professionally out of Destin since 1984 and never tires of exploring the Gulf's riches. He's done it all and loves nothing more than sharing his passion with children and other beginners. Their excitement is his excitement, so he hopes to "help people catch that fish that'll make their day, their year, their life!"
