Background
I am a 7th generation Floridian who began fishing at the age of 4. I have been passionate about fishing my entire life. My love of fishing started with my Grandfather fishing inland lakes and then in the inshore and offshore waters off Bradenton . My experience is vast honing my fishing skills on both Coasts and in the Florida Keys. I raised my 2 girls in Bradenton and have called it home since 1986. I am extremely knowledgeable regarding Florida’s rich history and historic places. November is the time for big Kings!! Let’s Go Fishing!!
