Captain
Ricky Poupore

Member since July 2019 St. Augustine, United States
Background
Born and raised on the waters of Northeast Florida, Captain Ricky Poupore has been chasing big fish in the Atlantic since he was old enough to hold a rod. With decades of experience under his belt and an instinct for finding the bite, he’s built a reputation as one of the top offshore trolling captains in the region. Specializing in high-speed trolling and live bait tactics, Captain Ricky Poupore targets hard-hitting pelagics like king mackerel (kingfish), cobia, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and tuna. Whether you're hunting your next personal best or just live for the scream of a reel under pressure, his trips are built for anglers who want action—and aren’t afraid to battle. Running out of Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor, Captain Ricky knows the ledges, wrecks, and bait lines where big fish lurk. From seasoned tournament veterans to dedicated weekend warriors, he brings the same intensity and local knowledge to every trip. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense offshore adventure with a shot at trophy fish and memories that’ll last a lifetime, this is your ride. Let’s chase something worth fighting for.
Techniques
off-shore, and near-shore we specialize in trolling. We also will take you to some good bottom fishing locations. We offer inshore fishing as an option when off-shore weather is not ideal.
