Captain Adam grew up with a rod in his hands – he's been fishing his entire life. As a kid his brother and he were hunting and fishing in the rivers and lakes of Northern Indiana, not just for fun, but to provide food to their family too! In 1999 he moved to St. Petersburg and immediately bought a boat – before buying a house. 6 years ago he decided to pursue his dreams and became a United States Coast Guard licensed captain, having spent years learning the tricks and feeding habits of the fish in the Gulf of Mexico. He runs charters together with his wife, Captain Tara, and they hope that you'll join them for a fishing excursion.

The only time we got to rest was when we were moving to another spot and every time we had a fish on the line on our 1st drop! Awesome service, awesome time, we will 100% book with Adam next time we are down. I can't imagine anyone being able to deliver more. Book now, you won't be disappointed

Capt. Adam gave 110% effort and it paid off. We were completely satisfied with our trip. Capt. Adam knew where the fish were, when they stopped biting we moved on to a new location, we caught our limit. I will be recommending him to everyone. Great job Capt. Adam, keep up the great work.

As soon as we met him, we knew we were going to have an awesome time! The boat was brand new, clean, and spacious. We wanted fish to eat and the experience of reeling in some big ones. Captain Adam did not disappoint! He put us right on top of them! He cleaned our fish and we went straight to the restaurant to have them prepared. Thank you, Adam, for the experience of a lifetime!
