ABOUT THE CAPTAIN

          Nearly ten years ago, my experience from an offshore fishing charter with a friend in Southeast Florida renewed my passion and enthusiasm for fishing. A native to the Midwest, I found fishing the waters of Lake Michigan to be seasonal. Local charter fishing provided individual anglers the experience of offshore fishing. I want to share my fishing expertise and knowledge with fishing enthusiasts. 

I purchased a boat (a 21-foot center console) and spent the spring and summer months on Lake Michigan. The fall and winter months were spent in Southeast Florida to hone my skills, techniques and earn my sea time.  In the next several years I obtained my United States Coast Guard (USCG ) Captain’s License. Hook'd on Fishing was formed! Hook’d on Fishing has been established to introduce adults (young and old) the skills and techniques for fishing the Midwest and Southeast Florida waters.  My mission is to share my passion for fishing and continue being a fish on the water.
