Capt. Derek was born and raised in Highlands, New Jersey, located near Sandy Hook Bay. He started fishing at a young age and his first summer job was at a bait and tackle shop and gas dock on the Shrewsbury River when he was 15. One year later, Capt. Derek became a deckhand on the party boat, Miss Take II out of the Highlands. When he was 17, he became a mate on a corporate offshore boat fishing the canyons in search of big game fish. A year later, he became a mate on the charter boat out of Atlantic Highlands. In 2005, Capt. Derek earned his Master's License and began this full-time charter business in 2006. Capt. Derek has always had a passion for the water and an instinct for landing fish. From winter Flounder in the rivers and bay to live lining adult bunker for trophy Striped Bass to jigging in the canyons for Bluefin and Yellowfin.
