What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?
13-15ft sawfish was biggest overall catch. My angler was 12 and did a great job, including full report to FWC including accurate GPS coordinates, and tackle used. Catch of lifetime for that young man, and myself.

Fish, either Beer battered snapper (Needs to be made with Natty light, or PBR), or wahoo ceviche. Depending on which was caught yesterday.

How did you get started guiding?
As a boat mechanic living in Key West I found friends and family I never knew existed. Friends of family coming down wanted to have a good time on the water. Eventually I legally needed to get the license and insurance. I didn’t choose to guide, it chose me.
What makes you different from other guides?
Being on and in the water and boats is my passion. Not only fishing, but diving, island/ sandbars, dolphin watching, and just cruising.
As a marine mechanic by trade, I also find enjoyment in the maintenance and upkeep that comes with boating and charter fishing. All scheduled maintenance and repairs and done in house to ABYC standards. You’ll find our boats are a world apart from most old, dirty, and tired charter boats. Our vessels are kept to yacht standards.
