- Background
- Being born into a fishing family, I have been on the water and around boats for my entire life. As soon as I was able to walk, my father taught me how to cast and I would spend hours casting behind my house in Point Pleasant, NJ. My family moved to South Florida when I was still young, which opened up a whole new world to me, where I was able to spend every second I could either on or near the water. As a teenager, I started working at a marina on the fuel dock which eventually branched into working as a mate for private boats and on charters. After that, I spent several years as the captain running a corporate sportfishing program competing in Marlin tournaments up and down the east coast of the US. After operating a successful sportfishing charter in New Jersey for several years, I came to realize Islamorada is truly where I call home. I have always been passionate about being a fisherman and have known from a very young age that this is what I was meant to do.
- Techniques
- Growing up fishing all over the united states has introduced me to lots of different techniques so the best way to describe my fishing style is somewhere in-between south Florida light tackle with a heavy dose of northeast influence. Whether its early spring striped bass, mid season fluke, or chasing tuna and marlin; I always try to make the most of every opportunity. Whenever I’m fishing for our target species I am always ready for the chance to encounter something special, like bluefin tuna while fishing for striped bass or keeping a fresh shark bait out while fishing for seabass and fluke. I thoroughly enjoy fishing artificials for inshore species,Slow pitch jigging is one of my favorite techniques. Chunking for tuna is one of my specialties, I will never turn down an opportunity to go offshore. While we carry tackle from light to heavy I prefer to use tackle on the slightly lighter side of things to increase the fun factor, Fishing is about having fun and making memories!
