Member since September 2020 Miami Beach, United States
Background
I grew up in New Jersey fishing offshore and inshore since I was able to walk. It was always a dream of mine to move to Florida and become a fishing guide so, in 2009, I moved to South Florida and began learning all the techniques that are unique to this area. Now I'm living that dream and would love to teach you everything I've learned over the years.
Techniques
Myself and my crew are experienced in all techniques used to maximize your opportunity here in South Florida. We utilize different styles of fishing depending on the seasons and what we are looking to target. My personal favorite type of fishing is kite fishing for pelagic species. That is when we fly a kite and hang live baits from the kite string keeping that live bait on the surface to entice what is usually an explosive bite. When the conditions are right I also really enjoy deep dropping, bottom fishing in over 400', for Tilefish, rosefish, barrel fish, or any other crazy creatures of the deep We usually use electric reels to help us out with this type of fishing.
