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.

We took a stroll out the river on a perfect weather morning, cruised out to some nearshore rock piles and brought back fresh fish for dinner. It doesn't get any more relaxing than that!

The hint of a temperature drop had the early morning Redfish fired up! Upper slot and over slot fish deep in the mullet schools made for a great half-day trip. It will only get better as the water cools off. Limited availability so don't hesitate to book! **hidden content**

Speckled Trout Smackdown
Speckled Trout Smackdown
Aug 1, 2025 Homosassa
Don't let the heat deter you from fishing, the bite is still just as hot as the temperature! Spent the morning drifing the grassy flats of Homosassa Bay catching beautiful speckled sea trout, Mangrove Snapper, Pompano and Grunts. It will only get better as summer comes to an end and the water starts to cool off. Give me a holler to get in on the action!
