Member since July 2018 Gulf Shores, United States
Background
Coming from a long line of fishermen. My father was a guide before becoming a game warden when I was a kid. Growing up, I fished or hunted almost every day. As an adult, that passion continues. Before becoming a captain, I commercial shark fished for a living. I have always enjoyed being on the water and giving people the experiences I was blessed with having as a kid. Since becoming a captain, I've guided inshore and offshore. I've been able to help people catch the biggest fish of their lifetime. Look forward to many more experiences like that.
Techniques
We specialize in all sorts of different styles and techniques! I'm not a 1 hook fits all kind of fisherman! Whether it be running different trolling gear to land monster Wahoo or King Mackerel or using lite action spinning reels while catching a cooler full of mahi mahi we've figured out what works best! As for bottom fishing sometimes we go from chicken rigs to sow rigs to free lining live bait! Whatever it takes to put you on the backside of a bent rod and a tight line!

Half day shark trip

VERIFIED   Half Day Trip โ€“ Shark on July 18, 2019
It was a little discouraging to say the least to spend $850 on a 4 hr shark trip to catch a remora and a blue fish. I understand...
