Background
My passion for fishing started almost before I could walk. I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, so my first love was freshwater fishing. After my grandparents moved down south, I got a taste of saltwater fishing and fell in love with it. After graduating from Ohio University, I moved down to St. Petersburg, FL, to chase my dream. I got the opportunity to first mate for some awesome captains while down here. They passed their knowledge on to me, and I knew I was ready to make the step of running my own boat.
Techniques
Here at C'est La Vie Fishing Charters, we specialize in flats fishing for redfish, snook, and trout. We love to mix it up, as the season come and go. This includes nearshore fishing off the beach for mackerel, bonita, kingfish and Cobia. As well as tarpon fishing during the months between April and July!
