Florida’s Big Bend coast offers some of the best sight-fishing opportunities on the planet for tarpon, redfish, cobia, seatrout, pompano, jacks and other game fish. I have been fishing and guiding in these waters for 25 years, and a trip on Fin-esse, my 20-foot custom Bayshore flats skiff, is sure to be your sight-fishing experience of a lifetime. I trailer my boat from the historic village of St. Marks due south of Tallahassee to the productive flats of St. George Sound and  St. Joseph Bay to the west, including the popular vacation destinations of St. George Island and Cape San Blas. That means I can meet my customers where it’s convenient for them and where we’ll be able to target giant tarpon, spunky redfish, trophy trout and other hard-fighting game fish.

All levels of angling experience are welcome. I am happy to teach the novice or guide the seasoned veterans. I am easy-going by nature and emphasize having fun, first and foremost.  My goal is for you to leave the dock at the end of the day with lasting memories of an enjoyable sight-fishing experience and quality time on the water.
