Captain Mike

Capt. Mike is a 3rd generation Floridian who has been fishing the west coast of Florida since he was old enough to hold a fishing pole. Fishing Tampa Bay through Charlotte Harbor, Capt. Mike already had private Snook, Trout, and Redfish spots by age 12 throughout this region.

His passion for Shark fishing started around age 16; after a rather large Bull Shark ate a Redfish he was pulling in. To this day, Sharks remain one of Capt. Mikes favorite target species.

Capt. Mike has been a medical professional since 1989, which has allowed him to meet other professionals who shared in his passion for fishing. Some of his first colleagues were avid Tarpon fishermen who, in exchange for Shark and backcountry teachings, taught him the fine art of catching the majestic Silver King. Catching a Tarpon in Boca Grand Pass, on the Beach or in the back country, is a memory no fisherman will ever forget.

Capt. Mike fishes World Famous Boca Grand Pass (known as The Tarpon Capitol of the World), as well as the pristine waters of Charlotte Harbor and the Myakka River, including Lemon Bay, Turtle Bay, Bull Bay, Gasparilla Sound and El Jobean.

Target species are Tarpon, Sharks, Snook, Trout and Redfish; but on any given trip, there are dozens of other fish that may be caught. While fishing from a 22 ft. tournament rigged Pro-lite flats / bay boat, you will be catching these fish in comfort.

A day with Capt. Mike is a day you will not soon forget. He always promises to do everything in his power to make your trip a trip of a life time. And remember, there’s no extra charge for his stories.
