New for 2024 , 1972 23′ Mako Classic with 200 hp Mercury Optimax. This stable fishing vessel will be equipped with updated electronics and outfitted to get your group out on the water safe and comfortably.

I am now setup to run trips inshore and nearshore trips in Florida. I will mainly target tarpon, but we plan on being versatile. Most of the fishing that I do in Florida is similar to striper fishing in Tennessee. The biggest difference is of course the size of the fish and how they pull, but also the variety of fish we will catch on these trips. We will have an opportunity to bring home some fillets on these trips. I will provide everything needed to have a great time on the water.

I will be setting up several trips throughout the year targeting several species during peak times. My methods have been proven to work down in the salt and I really enjoy exploring new areas. Full day trips only with the ability to break during the heat of the day. Message me for more information dates and rates. I am obsessed with these fish and you will have a great time if you come down and fish with me. The best is yet to come. Now guiding Marathon, FL (May-July) and Fort Pierce, FL (late September-October). I only use quality gear from Shimano and Bull Bay Tackle. I don’t skimp on cheap gear. I will also work to capture quality photographs of our catches to ensure the memories will last a lifetime.
