Hey Chuck thanks for the kind words! I hope we can get out there again next year. Your little.man was probably the best behaved youngster I've had on board!
For the guys asking, my website is :
...
Spring is finally sprung, unfortunately that means lots of wind and rough water down here. So, sitting here at the house watching it rain/storm I started thinking about some of the great fishing...
Chuck, sorry the weather wasnt ideal for us. However yall got lucky, its been even worse ever since yall left! Its been down right nasty here lately. Im glad you had a good time and Im looking...
Thanks, Im pretty excited for my new venture. Historically this business runs about 200 trips a year. Most all will be in May-August so when its on, its on and it will mean many days of working, in...
I still get messages and emails from some of you guys regarding my charter business down in the Pensacola/Destin area and I really appreciate it and have had the pleasure of taking several of you...
You'd be surprised. I have two Hobie Outbacks and one Hobie Pro Angler 14 for clients. I took out a guy that was 6'8" and probably closer to 300lbs then 250. The PA14 has a 600lb capacity and it has...
As some of you may already know, I moved from Oldham County to the Gulf Coast in between Destin and Pensacola about 5 years ago. For the last three years Ive been running offshore kayak fishing...
Ive also been doing lots of boat fishing lately and got my first blue marlin and yellowfin tuna about an hour about on my last trip.
The best time to get on pelagics such a sailfish, dolphin and tuna is NOW. After the first cold front pushed through until about to late October its ON!
Really, by far, the best time of year to...
Thanks Chuck! I went out again today targeting sailfish and what do you know, got me another one! Smaller fish but still a freaking BLAST! Client got a decent dolphin and lost one that would have...
This is my second one Chuck. I personally dont get to fish much myself any more. Ive fished maybe 10 times on my own all year and have ran about 80 trips so I dont get to target them my selves...
Yes please! I love this time of year! Ive been a BUSY man with my kayak charters here in the panhandle but as tourist season winds down the fishing is really heating up! I got a rare "me" day last...
...I finally have a FB for my little guiding outfit down here in Florida. If you have FB check it out and give me a like and share! Ive had the pleasure of taking out a few members on here.
...
May is one of my favorite months. Most mahi, sailfish and tuna are caught in the months of May, September and October!
We are doing well, heading down to Melbourne tomorrow to visit some friends...
Did you see the video on yahoo? It was on there all day today and most of yesterday! Ive got over a quarter million views in the last 24 hours or so!
And YES, that shark actually scared the crap...
Oh man its insanely fun. I wasnt that far out, about a mile and a half in that spot from the beach.
Yes its me from a couple of years back. Come on guys yall need to come down and experience some exciting offshore kayak fishing action!
...
The picture with the lady and the red snapper is an outback.
The picture of the three guys (Im on the left as I took some friends that day) is in front of my personal PA.
I use to fish out of a...
Went out today, managed 9 flounder, some snapper, a porgy, a big ole dogfish and some other trash fish. The dolphins put on a good show though!

Hey guys, with the weather warming, there is only one thing on my mind, offshore kayak fishing!!!
This will be my third year doing this. Last year was awesome but I have a feeling this year is...
Dont test drive a Hobie, before you know it youll be spending $4k rigging out a Pro Angler 14!
I should know, the Hobie bug bit me hard 18 months ago and Ive bought SEVEN since then, have four...
Guys, offshore kayak fishing is AMAZING. I dont think there is anything like it and Im fortunate enough to be in a location that is PERFECT for the sport. We generally have calm seas, have an...
If you have facebook, check out and like my Kayak Fishing Team's facebook page! Its loaded with some awesome pictures and videos of great Florida saltwater kayak fishing adventures!
I personally...
I have three Hobie Outbacks and Ive had a Hobie Sport and a Hobie Revolution 13. I am getting a new PA14 in a couple of months. The guys on my kayak fishing team have Hobie PA14s. If they can stand...
Bummer. Been doing a good bit of flounder fishing which reminds me of sauger fishing. Very "tactile" as I like to describe feeling for the light bite of a sauger as your jig is bouncing in the...
If youre heading to the Destin or Pensacola area look me up. In the next month or two I will be fully insured and liscenced and will be offering the BEST offshore kayak experience on the panhandle. I...
Is worth bringing a rod to hit up the falls for sauger? Seems like its too high but my river fishing skills, well what little I had, are fading fast.
Ive been trolling a good bit lately with the tuna and sailfish in and the factory four rod holders, two in front and two in back, werent cutting it. The two in back worked fine but the two in front...
Well the fight is rather boring. However the satisfaction of getting over twenty pounds of fresh tuna for under a buck a pound is extremely gratifying.
I threw a casting jig because I can throw...
More pics....
The pic of the prepped fish on the counter is just two of the three fish.
Wow, what a weekend.
Friday I went out at dawn. The Gulf was flat and tuna were skying every where. I made bait quickly as I could and head out.
Surprisingly enough with all the tuna at dawn,...
It was a great experience. I am still gunning for my first sail. I did pick up a nice mahi mahi Friday as well as a near state record lane snapper.
Video made and edited by some friends who met up with us. By the time they caught up with us the fish was beat but still cool none the less.

I do a bit of guiding from kayaks here in the FL panhandle. A good friend of mine wanted to give kayak fishing a shot, he had only done it once so we hit the beach this morning.
We get over some...
I fish often offshore with some friends out of Destin and Pensacola. This fall, when the blue water comes back in, we plan on doing a mothership trip and take a few yaks out to troll for some big...
If you can make it down let me know and we will wet a line for sure. I've found some great bottom spots since yall came down which gives us even more opportunities to catch fish. Also, you wont have...
That strong North East wind was killer and you handled it exceptionally well. I had a great time and glad I could put you on some fish. That remora was nuts when he stuck under your kayak and then...
Ive been hit by a string of mechanical failures of my Hobie. Last five trips in a row have resulted in me paddling back instead of pedaling and let me tell you, paddling an Outback is NOT fun.
The...
My dad isfifty four years old -sorry my number keys are broken- and weighs about two fifty at five foot eight inches in height. He is fairly active given his size/weight and he has no problems...
In that shallow of water, vertical jigging can get expensive. The mackerel will cut off jig after jig and at around ten bucks a pop it just isnt worth it to me. I just use frozen cigs. I can get five...
To add on top of what has already been said...
When fishing for big fish on the bottom its important to keep your rod pointed to the front of the boat. If you keep it perpendicular with the boat...
Here is my primary kayak. Its a Hobie Outback. Its pretty stock right now. I have a Lowrance Elite-4 which I love. Only other upgrade is the larger sailing rudder which allows it to turn on a dime.
...
Aron, thanks for the kind words. Any time your down we will hit it. Snapper season was excellent this year and I found some great spots in the area we fished once I got a new fish finder.
Today,...
Once the weather finally turned to our favor it turned out to be a great snapper season. Most of my fish were in the ten to fifteen pound range out of my kayak in sixty feet of water less then two...
Id bring my yak but because I never go too far I dont have a true rack on my wifes car, just use pool noodles and ratchet straps. Not sure had it would hold for ten hours on the highway. Tempting...
Heading back to Louisville to visit for a few days. Interestingly enough my old high school buddy, who now also lives in Florida will be there at the same time. We plan on either hitting the falls...
I would head to the Keys. Lots of stuff to do besides fishing such as checking out Key West, take the Ferry to Tortuga and snorkeling the coral reefs to taking a ride down alligator hwy across the...
DJD, thanks, she is my little fishing pardner. When I landed the mahi she exclaimed, "Now THAT is what I want for dinner." haha
Esox, the fishing is still great though the next solid week its...
Had a great day on the water with my five year old. Landed another mahi, had a GIANT, over a thousand pound, leatherback come up to us and just a few minutes later had a big green sea turtle also...
