Captain
Stephen Drenth

Member since November 2022 St. Petersburg, United States
Background
I began fishing with my father in 1972 – and have been 'hooked' since (pardon the pun). After spending several years fishing with my older brother in the Keys and East Coast of Florida – I entered the diving industry and worked as a Divemaster on boats in Bradenton and Sarasota – developing proficiency in spearfishing and teaching others. My career choices have made it possible for clients and work associates to depend on me to take them fishing – and catching. My love for fishing has given me the passion for fine-tuning my skills into a full-time business. Since my daughters entered my life (yes – My Girls!) - we have caught fish (and made memories) throughout Tampa Bay, Offshore, and the entire West Coast of Florida. So my career started ..... a long time ago!
Techniques
Sight fishing with spinning tackle - live bait opens up big opportunities. Running Offshore chasing Kingfish and Cobia is a big rush. Being able to see activity on the surface gets your heart pumping! Shark fishing is a real thrill - never knowing what is on the end of the line. Some of the Spinners we catch are as acrobatic Tarpon! The relentless pulling from a Bull Shark will challenge even the largest Amberjack! Introducing families to the fun and bonding fishing brings makes it all worthwhile!
