I grew up fishing the Chesapeake Bay out of Virginia Beach and have been on the water for most of my life. Over the years, I have won multiple fishing tournaments and built extensive experience on the water. For the past few years, I have also been running trips in the Tampa Bay area and the Gulf of America. Being on the water is my happy place, and I would love to share that experience with you and show you everything this area has to offer, from sandbar trips to sunset cruises. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
