About the Captain

Light Tackle Fishing Marco Island FLHi, and welcome to my fishing charter web site. I am a South Florida Native with over forty five years of experience fishing the local waters. For the past 28 years I have made the water of the 10,000 Islands my home. I know where the fish are, when the tides are right, what they are feeding on, and how to put you on fish. This wealth of knowledge, along with my commitment to you, is for you to have experienced the finest & most memorable fishing experience ever. I am an easy going person with a passion to teach you as needed the techniques to make your fishing successful. I believe that everyday on the water brings along new challenges; the weather is forever changing, so we just adjust our fishing techniques and locations to meet the day with a successful outcome.

Since 1990, I been fishing exclusively with Maverick / Hewes flat skiffs powered by Yamaha motors and a member of their fishing guide team. I am also sponsored by Ft. Myers Marine, their commitment to sale and service makes them the number one Maverick / Hewes dealer year after year. This commitment to excellent has allowed me to provide you, my clients, with a comfortable, shallow riding boat, with stealth approach and dependability second to none. My sponsorship program continues with Beavertail Skiffs, Sage fly rods, Gloomis fishing rods, Calusa nets, and other fine manufacturers. My membership includes the Florida Guide Association, International Game Fish Association, Coastal Conservation Association, and the National Association of Charterboat Operators.
