Can you tell us about some of your favorite fishing experiences? Charting or personal?
Being out with my buddy Capt. Brian Clancey and boating my biggest Tarpon ever! Or having a young man of 9 yrs old named Cameron fishing for the first time getting Lagoon Slam: Red, Tarpon, Snook, and a Trout.
Wow! A Lagoon Slam first time fishing at 9 years of age! You set the bar pretty high for his next fishing experience. How about your worst experience on the water?
I have never had a bad time on boat.
Really? Ok, I guess I have enough of them for the both of us! Besides fishing the Mosquitto Lagoon where are some of other interesting places you have fished?
There have been so many but a couple of the top of my head are; spending 3 days fishing the Shark River in SW Florida with my buddy Steve killing the Snook Tarpon and Reds on Top water, Then spending 6 days fishing in the Amazon rain forest of Brazil. We caught 100s of peacock bass and I mean 100s! Hardest hitting fish I have ever caught and the people of Brazil are awsome.
