Hey there, I'm Captain Eric Planer! Growing up in sunny South Florida, I had a blast honing my angling skills in the local lakes and ponds. After school, you could find me riding my bike to the nearby pond and reeling in around 30 Largemouth Bass before dinnertime. Good times! I also pursued an automotive technology degree and worked as a skilled technician specializing in diesel vehicles. But as much as I enjoyed my automotive career, I couldn't ignore my true passion for fishing and the great outdoors. So, I took a leap of faith and decided to follow my heart. Now, I'm living my dream as a fishing guide, sharing my love for the water and helping people create unforgettable fishing memories. Join me, and let's embark on an exciting fishing adventure together!
