Background
I grew up fishing the Florida keys for over 40 years. Fishing is second nature to me. What I enjoy most is watching people catch big trophy fish. I love fishing so much I even go on my days off.
Techniques
Definitely my favorite type of fishing is going for big sharks. Its a guarantee!! Drop anchor put out 4 or 5 big baits out and wait for the drag to start screaming. Also in the summer time I enjoy snorkeling the reefs spearfishing hog fish, grouper, snapper and looking for lobster. Tarpon fishing right at dark is also super fun with live bait.
