Michael Panichello

Member since July 2019 Bonita Springs, United States
Background
I grew up in Leigh Acres, FL. Being an avid fisherman and hunter, I took every chance I could to go fishing on the waters of SW Florida. After graduating from high school, I joined the U.S. Coast Guard where I spent 20 years traveling around both US coasts while spending most of my time in the Pacific Northwest. Upon retiring from the Coast guard, I came back to SW Florida, bought a boat and immediately returned to my favorite fishing grounds. I am very passionate about my work and you can always be certain that my boat will be in tiptop shape allowing you to have a safe and memorable trip.
