- Background
- Since I could walk, I have lived fishing! Constantly absorbing information and tossing a line in at every opportunity. I began as a kid in TN fishing lakes, creeks, rivers, and cow ponds. Although, for living in a landlocked state, I could not shake this fascination for everything ocean related. I attended college and gained two bachelor's degrees (wildlife fisheries science and biology with a concentration in marine science). After college, I moved with my best friend and fishing partner to South Florida where my offshore career sprouted. Beginning on the drift boat as a mate for Fishing Headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, FL, I quickly moved on to the sport-fish boats to learn the various tactics of South Florida fishing. With the Gulf Stream so close, you can't ask for a better place to learn the art of sport-fishing. Kite fishing for Sails, live bait trolling for monster Kings and Wahoo, dropping on wrecks for huge Grouper and Reef Donkeys, deep dropping for Tiles and Snapper, and Swordfishing to name a few. It's truly a fisherman's dream. After around 3.5 years I had an opportunity to move down to St. Croix, USVI and I jumped at it. The Virgin Islands are a unique place, and I'm all for it. Going on 6 years, I have no plans to leave. After fishing for several different outfits, it was time to begin my own operation. Down South Charters was born in June of 2022. My goal is always to put clients on the fish of a lifetime, but I am equally as passionate about sharing what knowledge I can and encouraging everyone to become a better steward for our planet. Tight lines everyone!
- Techniques
- Personally, I prefer to go after the large pelagic sea monsters that move through the deep waters surrounding our island. We have great access to the trench between St. Croix and St. Thomas/ St. John. An offshoot of the Puerto Rican Trench, our waters reach in excess of 13k feet! Trolling with heavy tackle is often the most effective way to cover ground and locate the fish that inhabit these waters.
