Background
Lifetime of fishing experience, fortunate to have been taught by and worked for some of the most famous charter captains in the world, 55 years old now just as pumped up to catch fish now as I was like a kid always learning,patient love teaching guests, 30 years as Medical Physician providing our guest the safest charter in the Keys. 13 years of college, attended Loyola University, UF, LIFE University, College of Health Sciences and played lacrosse for Tulane. My passion is fishing love teaching kids and adults what I know making for experiences they never forget and skills they will own forever.
Techniques
My style of fishing is to catch whatever is hungry, People love me - fish fear me! Over the years under the tutoring of world famous charter captains I've learned skills for trolling using dead baits and lures, drifting live baits offshore and on the bottom , reef /wreck fishing jigging lures and baits. I truly love to catch yellowfin tuna and wahoo but the adrenaline rush caused by a screaming reel never gets old
