Member since May 2020 Clearwater, United States
Background
I believe it's not only about the fish you hook up on, or the great photos and memories of fish caught, but getting to enjoy life on the water as we Floridians proudly call it. Welcome to my backyard! I have fished all my life, and passionate about seeing people catch fish, even more than I love to. Creating lasting memories and a day out on the water catching fish is my goal.
Techniques
My passion is to take people of ALL skill levels offshore fishing here in the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. We target fish just off the beaches sometimes, and all the way out to 25 miles depending on seasons, weather, and sea conditions.
