Member since April 2016 Atlantic Beach, United States
Background
With a lifetime of fishing experience ranging from babbling Mountain Trout Streams to Gulf Stream waters my love for fishing has been with me since the age of 5. After graduation from college with a degree in Biology my first post school job brought money and my first of many boats opening up a whole new chapter in my fishing story. I enjoy all manners of angling and have always enjoyed fishing and sharing that experience with others. It was always nice to be the one catching, but I soon developed a love for putting other people on fish and seeing the joy it brings to their soul. It was this love that brought me to leave my well paying manufacturing job to earn my living on the water guiding and chartering fishing trips.
Techniques
I love it all! Casting, Jigging, Trolling, Drifting, Artificials, Live Bait, Dead Bait it makes no difference, get tight!

Great 6 hour trip with the Chumley crew! Free-lining Mahi on light tackle while bouncing bottom for some groceries. Ride out was slow due to swell but the ride in was glass. The mixed bag of 6 and 8 hr nearshore trips is a great option for the summer time. Donโ€™t delay, book today! This Sunday and Monday May 2 and 3 are still open and looking pretty for exactly this type trip. @breakdaycharters we have your fishing covered #marsh2ocean.

The Baird boys put it to them today. Kept their three drum and released a pile of pumpkins. Gators showed themselves with 2 citation fish @ 26โ€ one of which did not revive despite plenty of resuscitation. Oh well sammiches it is. Kept another pair of 20โ€ class fish for dinner and let the rest swim. A couple of blues and flounders released rounded out the morning. Itโ€™s gator season folks, legit shot at the fish of a lifetime. Book today. @breakdaycharters we have your fishing covered #marsh2ocean
