The Gulf of Mexico is a specialized ecosystem in our area. There are many streams and rivers that start as springs bubbling out of the sand, that flow into the gulf thru a delta of mangrove islands and marsh grass areas creating 1000’s of square miles of shallow marshy keys filled with hundreds of types of fish, birds, insects, crabs and mammals.  Manatees are always around in some density, but as the gulf gets cold they pile into the larger spring fed rivers to enjoy the 72 degree water.  Dolphins are common during the warmer months and are usually seen daily and while less often in the winter, they are still frequent additions to our nature viewing.   Blue Crabs are plentiful in the warmer months and offer a wonderful addition to diner or are fun to catch and release.  Tarpon, snook, redfish, sheephead, black drum, the list of fantastic game fish in the area is too long to list, many of our trips produce 10 or more different types of fish.

Florida has many different methods of harvest or enjoyment of the aquatic life in our area.  We can use traditional rods and reels, throw nets, baited traps, spears, gigs and bow/arrow.  Each type of fish has its own rules, but I will ensure we stay in compliance with FWC rules.  I enjoy all methods of harvest as well as catch and release fishing, day or night, we can find an adventure to fit your desires
