How did you get started guiding?

I took a charter to learn how to fish a new area while in the USN. I realized that one day if the opportunity presented itself, I'd love to share my passion of fishing with others. I have fished all over the USA and in other countries.

What makes you different from other guides?

I just love sharing my passion with others. I can't make the fish bite but i can give the absolute best experience possible on the water. Each and everyday I am able to spend on the water is a blessing.

10/10 if we could put him up there , went out for a bachelor party and had a great time with Carlo. We had to cut the day short for some people and take them back to the dock but Carlo offer to take the rest of us back out for a couple more hours after. Definitely be using him every time we go out, not to mention we caught some of the biggest drum...

Captain Carlo was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Add to that the fact that we all caught a variety of fish and two of us had only been fishing once before in our lives, and you have a perfect day. Thank you!
