Captain Zach is a second generation angler who has been on the water with his dad since he was just a kid at the age of 5. He grew up on his dad’s boat where he helped his dad’s guests reel in some of their greatest catches. Captain Zach would like nothing more than to make your fishing trip a one of a kind experience. One of captains Zach’s favorites things about fishing is watching little kids smiles on their face while they are reeling in fish as he was doing this at just a young age himself.

How did you get started guiding?
I started out on my dads boat when I was just a kid at the age of 5 and started deck handing for him as I got older.
What makes you different from other guides?
I strive to give my customers the best experience every time, meaning you may not have a great time if the wind and waves do not cooperate and it will be hard to catch fish. Since I like to give my customers their greatest experience on the water yet if the conditions are not safe to go out and you’ve already booked a trip we will move you to a day that looks better as long as you agree, I am not here to take your money because I want a paycheck, I am here to make sure you go out and have a great time, you go out safe and come back safe, and most of all catch some fish!
