Owner + Shore Fishing Guide

I want you to catch
that dream fish.
And have a great time doing it.

As a fellow waterman, I know that you can never get enough of the the water, or fishing. I’ve felt disappointed and frustrated by the learning curve of unfamiliar environments whenever I’ve traveled. I don’t want that to happen to you. Life is too short to spend it wandering around when Florida’s beaches offer a truly unique shore fishing experience with scores of game fish just waiting for you.

I’d love to show you the ins and outs of shore fishing with my:

  • 3+ decades of beach fishing competence.

  • Expert knowledge of Florida fish species, habitat, and feeding patterns

  • Local expertise of Tampa Bay pristine beaches and prime fishing spots in Clearwater, Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, and St. Petersburg including: Honeymoon Island, Pass-a-Grille, and Fort DeSoto.

We know you’re a true waterman

And that means you want to experience the water and fishing in every way possible, including mastering saltwater shore fishing so you can net that trophy species.

In order to do that, you need local knowledge of Florida’s Gulf Coast to find the fish you want to catch. The problem is you don’t have the time to go down the YouTube rabbit hole to learn. Instead, let me shorten the learning curve and put you on the fish so you can catch that species you’ve been hankering for.

Ready to wet the line and get that fish on? Let’s do it!

“ I have years of freshwater fly fishing experience, but hardly any in saltwater.  Dan was able to help me identify fish, create chances at catching those fish as well as explain how, where and why Snook feed.  Dan was able to explain how and where to cast to find these elusive fish.   I can't recommend fishing with Dan enough.  His knowledge of the fishery, as well as the  area are second to none.  I truly look forward to the next time we get to hit the water together.”
