My passion for fishing started at a young age, learning from my dad and grandfather who were both captains in South Florida.  I have been fishing the Tampa Bay and Clearwater area for 12 years and I really enjoy targeting Snook, Tarpon, and Redfish inshore as well as Kingfish, Grouper, and Snapper on the nearshore reefs.  Whether it's your first fishing trip or you're an experienced angler looking to catch a new personal best, I have the patience and knowledge to deliver a great day on the water!
