SKILLS:ALL AROUND EXCELLENT FISHERMAN WHO'S SPECIALTIES INCLUDE KITE, HELIUM BALLOON, LIVE BAIT, TROLLING AND GENERALLY CATCHING BIG FISH CONSISTENTLY.

I’M A LICENSED 100 TON MASTER. I’VE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WORKING FROM WESTERN FLORIDA TO CLIPPERTON ATOLL; THE MOST ISOLATED, UNINHABITED ISLAND IN THE WORLD. I'VE COLLECTED ALL KINDS OF PELAGIC SPECIES FOR THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM AND DELIVERED THEM ALIVE WHILE I WAS ABOARD THE SHOGUN INCLUDING YELLOWFINS, BLUEFINS, DORADO, POMPANO DOLPHIN, YELLOWTAIL, OPAH, MOLA MOLA, PELAGIC WHITE TIP SHARKS, MAKO SHARKS, BLUE SHARKS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER MORE OBSCURE FISH. WE SATELLITE TAGGED BLUE, BLACK, AND STRIPED MARLIN AS WELL AS BLUEFIN TUNA AND GREAT WHITE SHARKS. I KNOW HOW TO RUN A TEAM IN A CHAOTIC COCKPIT. I AM VERY GOOD WITH A GAFF SO I AM AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. I HAVE LOTS OF TRICKS LEARNED IN DIFFERENT PLACES, FROM DIFFERENT CAPTAINS, PLUS A FEW OF MY OWN CREATION. I KNOW WHAT A CLEAN BOAT IS AND HOW TO MAINTAIN IT MECHANICALLY. I’M A CLEAN-CUT, RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL WHO’S GOOD WITH KIDS. I KNOW HOW TO FIND THE FISH, ONCE I’M DIALED IN ON THEM I UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE THEM BITE, AS WELL AS PUT THEM ON THE BOAT. INTELLIGENT INNOVATION AND THE ABILITY TO ADAPT AND OVERCOME IS WHAT I WILL BRING TO YOUR OPERATION. IF YOU RUN A QUALITY OPERATION AND GIVE ME THE TOOLS I NEED, NOT ONLY WILL YOU FIND WHAT YOU SEEK IN A CAPTAIN, WE WILL WIN.
