Captain
Shawn Slattery

Member since December 2019 Bon Secour, United States
Background
I started my fishing career, as a commercial fisherman, but after the Gulf oil spill, I had no choice, but to move. I moved to Kona, Hawaii, where I applied my expertise, to big game fishing. I enjoyed it so much, I bought a boat and Kona Cowboy was born. My wife Kimberly and I, worked together and established a very successful business, but something was missing. I realized, I missed my days fishing in the Gulf, along with that incredible southern hospitality. So we sold "Kona" Cowboy, moved back to Gulf Shores, AL and the "Reel" Cowboy was home. I have over 35 years experience, in commercial and sport fishing combined. Nothing makes me happier, than sharing my love for fishing, with new or experienced fisherman. Fishing is the only and best job, I've ever had. I'm a true, born fisherman.
Techniques
I prepare for my charters, by checking the weather, tide charts, water temperature and definitely go that extra mile, to put you on some fish. No matter what season it is, no one will work harder, to put you on the fish!
