Background
Welcome aboard! Fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I’ve been lucky enough to travel and cast lines in some of the best fishing spots across the country. But ever since my first trip to Tampa Bay back in 1999, I knew I had found something truly special. The waters here are not only beautiful—they're some of the most diverse and productive fisheries you’ll find anywhere. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started, there's something here for everyone. Becoming a charter captain was always a dream of mine, and now I get to live it every day—sharing unforgettable fishing adventures and teaching the sport I love. There's nothing better than helping others experience the thrill of a great catch and the joy of being out on the water. Let’s go fishing and create some memories you won’t forget!
Techniques
Your Tampa Bay Fishing Adventure Starts Here! I specialize in exciting inshore and nearshore fishing adventures targeting some of Florida’s most sought-after game fish—snook, redfish, trout, grouper, snapper, and plenty more. Whether we're fishing the winding mangrove shorelines, drifting across lush grass flats, or dropping lines on nearshore wrecks and ledges, every trip offers something unique. My go-to style is live bait fishing, which delivers action-packed opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. But when conditions are right, I also love switching it up with artificial lures to challenge both fish and fishermen alike. With so many incredible fishing spots throughout Tampa Bay, there’s always something biting—and always an adventure waiting.
