Captain Tony grew up fishing the waters of both New Jersey and South Florida, spending summers along the Jersey Shore and winters exploring the fisheries of the southeast coast, southwest Florida, and eventually the Florida Keys. His passion for fishing started early after landing a large Striped Bass from the beach as a kid, and he’s been obsessed with the pursuit ever since.

Now based in Big Pine Key, Captain Tony spends his days guiding anglers through the backcountry, bridges, reefs, and offshore waters of the Lower Florida Keys. His background fishing both northern and southern fisheries helped shape his approach as an angler, giving him a deep appreciation for the strategy, conditions, and techniques involved in targeting different species.

Captain Tony enjoys fishing with anglers of all skill levels and especially loves introducing kids and families to fishing in the Keys. His goal is to create a fun, approachable, and memorable experience where guests can enjoy the water, learn techniques, and create lasting memories together.
