Member since July 2023 Naples, United States
Background
I started running charters in the 1980s. The feeling it gave me showing people all our area has to offer was addictive, and knowing I could provide anglers with memories they would have for a lifetime got me hooked! The look on someone’s face after catching their first Tarpon or Permit is priceless!
Techniques
We generally fish light tackle spin tackle , although we carry an assortment of tackle because you never know what you’ll run into out there

The cobia and permit fishing is been hot between these cold fronts along with snapper , lanes and mangrove, and ran across a nice school of early tarpon. Even on the worse days as long as the wind isnt to bad the offshore sheephead fishing has started 3 to 5 lb so far is common , (not the same fish as the ones in the lake up north) .
