Professional Fishing Tournaments

  In addition to being a Ft Myers fishing guiding I supplement my income by fishing the professional redfish fishing tournament trails and the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series held in Boca Grande Pass. This type of fishing gives me a break from the day to day grind of guiding and stimulates my competitive edge by challenging me find fish in unfamiliar waters.  Since 2005 I have fished the Wal-mart FLW redfish Series, Oh Boy Oberto Redfish Cup, Redfish Cup Allstars, and the Inshore Fishing Association Redfish Tour. The following is a list of my most recent results:

My redfish team finished the 2008 season ranked 3rd in the ESPN Redfish Cup "Team of the Year" race. We also placed 4th in at the Oh! Boy Oberto Redfish Cup Championship.
