He has fish up and down the east and west coast of Florida from port saint Lucie to key west up to clear water including the Bahamas to st. thomas VBI, and the dry tortugas and pulley ridge. fishing for marlins,sailfish,mahi-mahi,wahoo,snappers,and groupers. fishing since he was 3 years old with his dad,bringing him out on drift boats. One day the Captain of the boat say to him come up and drive a 65 ft boat ,as the captain watch over him. When he was 12 years old the same captain taught him how to dock the Boat and thats when he knew that that was what he wanted to do in life. He started helping out on the Boat as a second mate to learning how to bottom fish to every thing he can as far as the engine room of the boat. When he was 16 years old he started to Sportfish on charter boats learning how to live bait, kite fish, shark fish, wrack fishing. Getting his captain’s license at 21 years old he did what he wanted to do when he was 12 years old
- Techniques
- using Live bait is my favorite style of fishing if it’s kite fishing, dropping live baits on ship wrecks or just bumping live baits around ship wreck or down the reef line. You just never know what you’re gonna hook up too.
