How did you get started guiding?

I find myself thinking about the water every day—wondering what the fish are doing, where they might be, and how I would go about finding them. Growing up, I spent countless hours fishing with my dad, grandfather, and uncle, each of them teaching me different styles of fishing. I was drawn to inshore fishing early on, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed a growing passion for fly fishing. What I love most is exploring new techniques and sharing the magic of the water with others, introducing them to a world that few truly get to experience.

What makes you different from other guides?

I also teach as well compete in dancing at a District Dance Academy in Clearwater, specifically in Modern Swing dancing. I also own, operate, and instruct an LLC called Swimming with Sebastian teaching private swimming lessons.
