Captain
Shawn Slattery

Member since December 2019 Gulf Shores, United States
Background
I started my fishing career, at age 12, bought my first, commercial vessel at 14, fishing all over the Gulf. Moved to Kona, Hawaii, switching to charters and built Kona Cowboy Sportfishing. My wife Kimberly and I, worked together establishing a very successful business. When it was time to go home, we sold the Cowboy, moved back to Gulf Shores and bought the Bandit! I stayed with charter fishing, I found the best of both worlds. I get to fish everyday and share my love and enthusiasm for fishing and catch plenty of fish, with other people. Whether you're a first timer, or expert, you won't be disappointed.
Techniques
I prepare for my charters, checking the weather, tide charts, water temperature and the fisherman's coconut wireless. No matter what's biting, no one will work harder, to put you on the fish!
