Background
Capt. Jake is a 3rd generation Floridian and been fishing these waters since he could walk. Growing up his father was a big influence on him always taking him out every chance they got. Jake worked on a lot of different boats when he was younger and has experienced a lot also from commercial fishing. Being on the water everyday makes a huge difference and that’s what he strives for. A tournament winning captain as well!
