Captain
Jeff Ruppart

Member since February 2021 Carrabelle, United States
Background
Captain Jeff is a lifelong avid angler, U.S. Coast Guard Veteran. Originally from Alaska, he started guiding fly-fishers and anglers on Kodiak island in 1999. Jeff has lived in Florida since 2005. He fished in Southwest Florida out of Matlacha for several years before settling down on the forgotten coast. He's been tying and selling flies for over 25 years and will provide all the flies and lures you will need for your trip.
Techniques
Fly-fishing and light tackle, fishing the grass flats and bays of the forgotten coast. Sight casting to redfish and speckled seatrout are year round, tarpon and cobia are seasonal, looking for cobia on rays is definitely one of my favorites.
