About Your Guide

26 Years of Experience
Profile photo of Captain Experiences guide Michael

Fl native, I grew up in-shore fishing NE Florida and the gulf coast. Been blessed to have fly fished all over north America the past 25years. From giant rainbows on the Kenia River in Alaska, to steelheads on the Chilliwack in BC and all over the freestone creeks/rivers up and down the east coast. I lived in Blueridge for 10 years and guided there part-time and in 2008 I came back home to the sunshine state. Since then, I have really been focusing on dialing in the backcountry waters as polling for tailing floodtide reds in the beautiful spartina marsh mazes is my true passion.

Either fishing hard, learning, or just relaxing I guarantee a fun educational day on the water.

trip description for Marsh Hen Cast and Blast in Ponte Vedra Beach

The marsh hen is a client favorite here on the historic coast. The clapper or king rail commonly refered to as a marsh hen is a seasonal target and is often paired with our flood tide seasonal fishing trips known as a “cast & blast combo”. On this trip you will troll the creek to a flooded grass flat where we can wade and flush up the marsh hens all while searching for a tailing redfish on the spartina flats, a true outdoorsman’s paradise!

trip description for Backcountry Light Tackle Trips in St. Augustine

Here along the Historic Coast our fishing is very dependent upon tide, seasons, and of course the weather. Inshore we target red drum(redfish), black drum, speckled trout, flounder and sheepshead. We use conventional spinning reels and offer various methods such as live bait, artificial lures, and top water plugs. Catch and release is highly encouraged on certain species, if interested in keeping fish please let us know so we can discuss what’s in season before booking. Read More
