Member since March 2019 Panama City, United States
Background
Captain Don Rice grew up in Panama City Beach, Florida, where he’s been fishing since the early age of 12. Fast forward to 45 years later, and his passion for being out on the water is stronger than ever. Capt. Don finally decided to start guiding his own trips about 3 years ago, and to no surprise, has fallen in love with the job. His goal is not only to get you some fish but to show you a good time as well. It won’t take long for you to see why he loves the sport so much!
