- Background
- Born in South Africa on the east Coast. My dad was a fisherman and I started fishing from about 4 years old. I crewed on commercial fishing vessels since the age of 14 in South Africa( rod and reel line fishing- mostly reef and some game fishing). Worked as a deckhand on a charter boat in St Augustine for about a year in my 20's whilst living in Florida ( Jodie-Lynn II). I drove charter fishing vessels in Melbourne Australia between 2006 and 2015. Immigrated to Tampa in 2016. Been fishing Tampa Bay since 2016 but only started my charter business in full time in early 2024.
- Techniques
- I fish the mangroves/shallow water primarily for snook, red fish, jacks, flounders and trout. I also love fishing the inshore reefs and shipping channel for Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, grunts, Goliath Grouper, king mackerel, Cobia, sheep's head and Spanish mackerel. I also fish for Tarpon during Tarpon season.
