orn and raised in Miami, Florida, I’ve been immersed in the outdoors from a young age. My earliest memories of fishing started in local ponds and canals with my dad, where I not only learned the fundamentals of the sport but also gained lifelong lessons in patience, perseverance, and appreciation for nature. Those early experiences sparked a passion that has grown into a lifelong pursuit of adventure on the water.

Over the years, I’ve explored a wide range of South Florida’s ecosystems—from the clear flats of Biscayne Bay to the wild expanses of the Everglades. These diverse environments have allowed me to refine my skills and develop a deep understanding of the region’s unique fisheries and wildlife. What began as bait fishing has since evolved into a commitment to fly fishing and light tackle, constantly pushing me to grow as an angler and naturalist.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or just beginning your journey, I look forward to sharing my local knowledge, passion for the outdoors, and love for Florida’s natural beauty with you on your next adventure....

About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable day exploring the wild heart of the Everglades with a guided fishing trip through Flamingo or Chokoloskee. These waters are some of the most remote and productive in Florida, with a backdrop of lush mangroves, hidden backwater ponds, and endless grass flats. Whether you're a beginner looking to land your first fish or a seasoned angler chasing your next big challenge, this trip is built entirely around your goals and skill level.

You’ll fish from a sleek Cayo skiff designed for two anglers max, perfect for navigating tight spots and skinny water. All rods, reels, tackle, and cold bottled water are provided—you just need to bring your own snacks, drinks, sunscreen, non-marking shoes, and polarized sunglasses (copper, amber, or green lenses are ideal). Half-day trips out of Flamingo offer a quick but action-packed four-hour experience, while full-day trips from either Flamingo or Chokoloskee let you cover more water and chase a wider variety of species.

On light tackle trips, expect to target a mix of redfish, snook, tarpon, and speckled trout using versatile setups and techniques tailored to the day’s conditions. If you’re into fly fishing, you’ll be sight-casting to selective fish in challenging conditions, with expert guidance to help fine-tune your cast and approach. These waters demand precision—but the reward is huge, and the thrill is unmatched.

What sets this experience apart isn’t just the fishing—it’s the Everglades themselves. With over a million acres of protected wilderness, every trip offers the chance to see wildlife like manatees, alligators, crocodiles, stingrays, sharks, dolphins, and incredible birdlife. No two days are ever the same.

At the heart of this guide service is a passion for creating meaningful connections and unforgettable memories. Growing up with access to these wild places inspired me to share them—especially with people who’ve never seen Florida beyond the city or zoo. Through fishing, I aim to introduce anglers of all ages to the beauty, benefits, and adventure our natural spaces offer.

This is more than just a fishing trip—it’s a chance to unplug, learn, and walk away with a deeper appreciation for Florida’s wild waters. Let’s make some memories and have a blast doing it.

Additional Amenities
Designed for serious anglers who demand performance, the Cayo 17 Skiff is my go-to vessel for navigating shallow flats and hidden backwaters. Built with lightweight composite construction, this technical poling skiff offers exceptional stability, smooth tracking, and virtually silent operation—perfect for stalking tailing reds, spooky bonefish, or laid-up tarpon. At just 350 lbs, the Cayo 17 drafts mere inches of water, letting us reach fish others can’t. Its sharp entry and clean lines ensure a smooth ride even in choppy conditions, while the wide beam provides a solid, comfortable platform for both guide and angler. Outfitted with premium trim, push pole, and clean rigging, it's as practical as it is sleek.
