I am Capt. Casey Maloney and I was born and raised here in Sarasota. Exploring these clear blue waters has always been a way of life for me. At 7 days old my parents took me on my first boat ride on their 23' sailboat, which fostered a deep connection to the ocean and Sarasota Bay. I am blessed to be able to fish everyday.
