Fishing has always been Capt. Ron's passion. He started Trout fishing at 2 years old and charter boat fishing at 5 years old. He worked on charter boats for 18 years before becoming a captain. He has sportfished and commercially fished all his adult life. Capt. Ron enjoys seeing the thrill of a new person catching their first fish and anglers catching their personal best. His favorite species of fish to catch is Striped Bass. The captain fishes for it year-round.
