Captain Samuel was born into a generational fishing family in Southern New Jersey, venturing to the offshore canyons of the Northeast, offshore fishing up and down the east coast, and spent a lot of time with his grandfather fishing on Big Pine Key as a kid and young adult. With over 10 years of professional experience, his deep knowledge of Key West and the surrounding waters plays a big part in his ability to find fish and provide quality charters, 365 days a year. When not fishing with clients, Sam loves to take his wife and two daughters, ages 1 and 3, to pass on the love of fishing he found at a young age.
