Licensed U.S.C.G Master Captain, certified in: Commercial Assistance Towing, U.S.C.G. Auxiliary Boating Skills & Seamanship, Senior Lifesaving, First Aid, CPR and Open Water Scuba Diving.

Insured by: Charter Lakes Marine Insurance.

Thirty-five plus years of fishing in the waters from South Tampa Bay to Boca Grande, mostly Sarasota areas.

 
Type of baits: Whatever puts fish on the line. Artificial lures, hand picked shrimp, white bait (shinners), pin fish.

Tackle: Top of the line gear - St. Croix, Okuma, and Evolution rods. Okuma's best reels.  
Anglers are welcome to bring their own gear.

Experienced Anglers: I know the area - you know how to fish. We can work together to get the bite on. Two heads are better than one.

Novice Anglers: 0 to 100 we will have a ball catching all kinds of fish. Being a father of five with four grandchildren, I'm ready for anything:)


Photography & Sight Seeing: There is so much to see from landscapes, to wildlife. Dolphins, Manatees, countless shorebirds. Please visit my nature website at www.naturetourflorida.com. This site goes into detail of what you will find for both the photography and the sight seeing enthusiasts. Prices are less expensive for these trips as there is no preparation for fishing equipment and bait.
