Steinhatchee, United States
- Background
- Captain Stephen grew up fishing for panfish, Carp, and Northern Pike in Michigan and fell in love with fishing. After high school, he served 23 years in the Navy which took him around the world. He has spent years fishing for Salmon and Steelhead in the rivers of Alaska and Washington State and Rainbow Trout in the lakes. After retiring from the military, the captain moved to Florida to be near his parents and discovered inshore fishing for Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Snook – the best fishing he has ever experienced. He loves fishing for Speckled Trout, as the action is usually good and the fish are beautiful. Its distinctive head shake and aggressive bite make it fun to catch on light tackle. After years of fishing and working in Florida, Captain Stephen realized the only days he looked forward to were those he spent on the water. He made it his goal to someday find a way to make a living doing what he loves and he has finally succeeded. He is looking forward to sharing it with you.
- Techniques
- Light tackle with bait or artificial. Captain Stephen does prefer using live bait as it produces larger fish more often. Artificial is much more fun, feeling the strike, setting the hook, and feeling the moment the fish realizes it is hooked.
