Background
I have been a professional fishing guide for 17 years, and I am also a firefighter / paramedic, so rest assured you and your loved ones are safe with an experienced, professional captain. The only thing you need to worry about is catching fish, and how you are going to cook them!
Techniques
Light tackle fishing with artificial lures for Sea Trout and Redfish is my all time favorite way to fish.
