Carlos Padron

Member since March 2023 Key Largo, United States
Background
At the age of 6 or 7, my grandfather took me fishing in the Florida Keys. That day I ended up catching my first ever Yellowtail Snapper, and from that moment forward, I was hooked. Fishing became a passion and excitement. My favorite part about being a guide is seeing the look on someone's face when they hook and catch the fish of a lifetime. You can't put a price on that smile.
Techniques
Live bait fishing and live chumming are probably my favorite along with running and gunning for big mahi mahi. Running up on a frigate bird chasing flying fish that mahi are pushing out of the water is top on my list.
