About me
Originally from Abington, MA. I came to Islamorada in 1979 and started fishing offshore. After that I decided to buy a skiff and start my own business fishing the backcountry. Fishing is my passion. I have fished many tournaments throughout my time and I am a Mercury Pro Team Guide. Now, my focus and enjoyment comes from giving my customers a quality experience on the water for the best fishing possible. I am married to my wife, Christine, and we have two successful children. We are just a fishing family, we enjoy fishing together whenever we get the chance. A family that fishes together stays together.
