Captain
Mike Rowell

Member since August 2018 Orange Beach, United States
Background
I was born and raised in nearby Pensacola Florida. I have fished the northern Gulf of Mexico with my father and brother all of my life. I was an electrician for 11 years and fished on weekends, holidays, at night and any other time I could! As many other fishermen who can't seem to ever satisfy their appetite for fishing, I dreamed about fishing full time. One day, I came upon a fork in the road in my electrical career. I could stay in the electrical business or pursue my dream of working on the water. I took the chance on my dream and as they say, the rest is history. I have been very fortunate. I could not be where I am today without the help, support and encouragement of my family, friends and mentors. I am so thankful to them and the Good Lord for my success.
Techniques
Doctors practice medicine, Lawyers practice law so I decided I would practice fishing. I have been a fisherman all of my life. Not the best nor the worst but loved it as much as any. As the years have past, I have found that I enjoy taking people fishing as much as the act of fishing itself. So here I am today, dream come true, a charter boat Captain/Owner/Operator, Not the best nor the worst. Today I conciser my self to be an orchestrator of fishing experiences. Its not just a fishing trip. My technique is Specializeing in a Good Time! I have been blessed with an awesome boat and we keep her in tip top shape. I hire the best deckhands/mates in the business. They are as much a part of your experience as anything. Of course they help you catch fish but that's not all. They are an integral part of maintaining the workings of the vessel. Including those essential things like air conditioning and toilets but most importantly your safety. They are also trained in first aid and CPR.
