- Background
- I've had a fishing rod in my hands for as long as I can remember. Growing up fishing along the East Coast with my father and brothers created some of my earliest and most cherished memories, and that passion for the water has shaped my life ever since. After joining the United States Coast Guard, I was stationed in Alaska, where I spent five years fishing some of the most remote and demanding waters in the country. During that time, I targeted giant halibut and cod offshore while also fly fishing and trolling for salmon throughout Alaska's incredible fisheries. For the past five years, I've worked alongside my father as a mate in his charter business, learning the trade firsthand and gaining valuable experience putting customers on fish safely and consistently. Now, it's my turn to step into the captain's role and continue doing what I've loved my entire life — sharing great days on the water and creating unforgettable fishing experiences for others.
- Techniques
- Fishing the Gulf waters near Pensacola, we use a combination of bottom fishing, trolling, live bait fishing, and drift fishing to target active fish on reefs, wrecks, bait schools, and open water within 9 miles of shore. By adjusting techniques based on season, weather, and fish activity, we maximize fishing time and create a productive, hands-on experience for anglers of all skill levels targeting species such as snapper, grouper, amberjack, king mackerel, triggerfish, and other seasonal Gulf species.
