Tampa Bay's Premier Fishing Guide

Snook, Redfish and Trout, on the pristine inshore waters of Tampa Bay.

Born in Tampa in 1954, I have lived and fished the Tampa area my entire life. In the mid 1990's I decided to make Tampa fishing my career. To that end I opened Shell Point Bait and Tackle, located at the mouth of the Little manatee River and Tampa Bay, where I operated both a Bait and Tackle business and a fishing charter business. In June of 2006 the marina that Shell Point Bait and Tackle was located in was sold and the lease for the bait shop was lost. I continue to operate the fishing charter business from my home located across the river from the old bait shop, just a short boat ride to some of the best fishing on Tampa Bay.

I specialize in flats fishing trips that are packed with action. Just think of hooking that prize Snook in ankle deep water or a 24in Trout on the grass flats, or viewing a Tampa bay sunset while wade fishing one of the pristine Tampa Bay flats.

I'm a member of the Florida Guides association as well as the National Association of Charter Boat Operators and the Coastal Conservation Association. In 2005 I became a board member for the Florida Guides Association and pro staff member for Lee Fisher Nets. In 2006 I received an appointment as a Regional Director for the Florida Guide Association. I'm processionally licensed by the United States Coast Guard and on the recommended guide list for Capt. Mel Berman. I am proudly sponsored and belong to the pro staff team for Canyon Bay Boats, Precision Tackle, DOA Lure, Boat Steering Rebuilders and Tampa Fishing Outfitters, In March of 2008 I co-founded, and now co-host the Tampa Fishing Outfitters Radio Show that airs on ESPN Tampa Bay 1040am each Sunday morning from 7:00am to 9:00am.

Call me today for a great day of Tampa Bay fishing !.

Best regards.
