Anyone that has chartered me before knows that I am a Captain who believes in quality of the catch. I can help someone who has never fished before or help veteran anglers get that extra edge. With my knowledge of the waterways and my seasoned fishing techniques, you can expect to catch fish every time we go out by using either the live bait techniques or the artificial lure methods that I’ve perfected. You will learn tips and tricks that you’ll keep with you forever and leave with memories that will last a lifetime. It is my job to make your fishing experience as safe, scenic and enjoyable as possible.

On the artificial lure side of things, I aim to make fishing as easy as possible while teaching techniques that you probably never thought would work for inshore saltwater fishing. I am most noted for spinnerbaits on Redfish and Flounder. I was recently featured on the Shallow Water Angler TV show demonstrating my spinnerbait technique catching Flounder. I am also currently the Grand Champion of the annual Kayak tournament held in Jacksonville which is the largest kayak tournament in the world. I have placed within the top five, four out of the five years it has been in existence.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on how to make this site better please e-mail or call me.

Lastly, I would like to thank Steve Barakat for being a flawless Webmaster for the past three years. If you need a website I highly recommend him. His link is at the bottom of the page.
