ABOUT THE GUIDE

Born for Big Baits
& Bigger Fish

Born and raised in New Jersey, I cut my teeth chasing striped bass, largemouth, pike, and whatever else the Garden State's waters had to offer. That relentless drive to understand fish behavior on artificial lures followed me south — and over the last 5 years in Tampa Bay I've immersed myself in learning every backwater creek, mangrove flat, and tidal channel these waters hold.

After refining the guiding experience, every trip I run is built around one goal: putting you in the best possible position to catch the fish of a lifetime. That means reading tides, understanding structure, and knowing exactly when and where to make the move. Clients don't just catch fish — they leave understanding why they caught them.

I run both pedal-drive and electric motor-powered kayaks — and the advantage they give you on the water is hard to overstate. Hands-free maneuvering means your rod is always ready and you're never too fatigued to make a perfect cast. No paddling means no burning out between spots, so you fish harder, longer, and sharper from the first cast to the last. The electric motor lets us cover water quietly and efficiently, hold position in current without effort, and slip into tight backwater creeks and shallow flats that no boat can touch. That access is the difference between fishing where everyone else goes — and fishing where nobody else can.
