- Background
- I grew up in New Jersey and moved to South Florida in 2009. My father is an avid fisherman, both inshore and offshore, so I naturally fell into the fishing industry. At 20 years old, I decided that I was going to become a captain and make that my full-time job – here I am many years later still doing what I love! Fishing and teaching people how to fish has always been my passion and I'm glad I can do this every day.
- Techniques
- When we drift fish, we use slider rigs for the reef fish and a flat line for pelagic fish / Sailfishing, we use live bait and a kite to "bump troll" for sails, plus more / trolling, use a combo of artificial and natural baits to encourage a bite.
