Alan Spangler

Member since November 2017 Cape Coral, United States
Background
My passion for fishing began when I was a child. I played baseball throughout the week and always looked forward to fishing on the weekends with my dad. As I got older my love for fishing grew. My first job was working at a local bait and tackle shop. I then saved up enough money for my first boat in high school. I started guiding family and friends to catch fish and I knew from that point I wanted to pursue my own business as a charter captain. I took classes to earn my master captain's license. Since then I have been very fortunate with my business. Every day I look forward to sharing my passion with my customers and in the process we create memories that last a lifetime.
