Panama City Beach, United States
- Background
- I have fished the waters of the Florida Panhandle for 40+ years from St. Marks to Destin. My father started me fly fishing for Bream and Bass on the lakes around Tallahassee, Florida as a young child and I have been obsessed with fishing and being on the water ever since. I have fished extensively both offshore and inshore off the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend areas, as well as the east coast of central Florida. I moved to Panama City Beach to pursue my passion of chasing Redfish and Speckled Trout on the shallow flats with light tackle as well as fishing for Tarpon and other critters along the beaches in the summer. I really love fishing, guiding and enjoying the beauty and solitude of a day on the water, which is why I obtained my Captain's license and began running charters.
- Techniques
- After years of bottom fishing for grouper and snapper and trolling for dolphin and wahoo, I have changed my focus to fishing the bays and flats for Redfish and Speckled Trout almost exclusively. I enjoy the peace and quiet of poling across shallow flats sight fishing and taking in the beauty of nature. I fish primarily with artificial lures as it provides a more challenging (and therefore rewarding) experience than soaking live bait. I fish topwater plugs a great del as they cover a lot of water, provide for exciting strikes and often produce better quality fish. I will also throw spoons, jigs, swim baits, suspending hard baits, etc. as conditions warrant. I use both fly and spinning tackle - based upon client preference and weather conditions I also guide for Tarpon during the months of June and July when the migration along the beach is peaking in this area.
