I caught my first saltwater fish when I was 4 years old and I have been hooked ever since. I have been a fishing guide in Port O’Connor, TX since 1996. I hold a U.S Coast Guard Masters License and a Texas Parks and Wildlife Guides License. I have been trained in American Red Cross C.P.R. as well as First Aid. I also participate in a U.S. Coast Guard approved random drug testing program.
I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1990 with a Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science and I have been a full time professional boat captain ever since. Prior to starting my fishing charter business in 1996, I worked for the Fisheries Dept. at Auburn University as well as the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept., Coastal Fisheries Division in Port O’Connor, Texas.
I cannot guarantee that you will catch a limit of fish on every trip or that you will catch a new state record. I do guarantee that I will do my best to make sure that you have a safe, enjoyable day on the water.
Contact me for more information, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for checking out the site!
Tight Lines,
