About

As a long time resident of the Pensacola Area, I grew fishing Pensacola Bay, Santa Rosa Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. This experience provides me the opportunity to show clients the ins and outs of both fly and spin fishing this area. While my love is for fly fishing, I've been known to grab my spinning rod from time to time. I call it shallow water fish finder!

I have been fly fishing for more than 30 years and was fortunate to work in the fly fishing retail business for approximately 10 years, which honed my skills at instructing beginners. For me nothing is more enjoyable than watching a first timer to fly fishing (or saltwater) catch their first saltwater fish on a fly. This drive sent on to become a certified casting instructor by Fly Fishers International.

My passion is sight fishing the shallow water flats of Pensacola waters for the likes of redfish, speckled trout, the aerobic ladyfish, and their larger cousin, the silver king, tarpon. I venture offshore for schools of false albacore and Spanish mackerel.

I had a great day on the water with Capt. Richard. Laid back, patient, fly instructor. The fish didn’t cooperate, but as a beginner fly caster it was a great experience for me.
