Captain
Michal Zeleny

Member since May 2018 Fort Myers, United States
Background
I grew up in the Fort Myers, Sanibel area. After completing my undergraduate degree at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh I decided to come back to Fort Myers and start my career on the water. I am thrilled to now be able to share my experiences and knowledge with my customers. It's never a dull moment out on the water!
Techniques
I am addicted to live bait. I enjoy free-lining baits in most circumstances and get really excited to pull big Snook and Reds out of the mangroves.
