grew up fishing the inshore waters of Mobile Bay alongside my grandfather and dad, where I developed a deep respect for the sport and the coastal environment. In 2024, my dad and I earned our U.S. Coast Guard OUPV licenses and launched our charter company —a family-run business built on tradition, expertise, and a shared love of fishing. Today, we operate in two locations: I guide trips out of Sarasota, Florida, while my dad runs charters from Fairhope, Alabama. Whether it’s chasing redfish in the mangroves or helping a first-time angler land their first catch, I truly enjoy sharing the experience and creating lasting memories on the water.

Booked a trip with Captain Cole and from the start there was good and timely communication.

Brought my two younger boys who had a blast! Cole was patient, answered their 100 questions, and took us to nice spots where we pulled out some nice fish and the boys were thrilled! We had a blast!
