Member since June 2020 Gulf Shores, United States
Background
As a United States Navy veteran I’ve always loved the water. Ive been fishing my entire life and started salt water fishing in 2002 after moving permanently to the gulf coast. I’ve been fishing professionally since 20and purchased my Grady White 306 in New York in 2019 and brought it back to Alabama. After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears; I’m enjoying serving customers as an owner/captain.
Techniques
If you enjoy your fishing charter, a 15% to 25% gratuity is customary, appreciated, and expected. I accept cash or Venmo.
