⚓ Meet the Captain: A Lifetime on the Gulf Waters

 

5th-Generation Mariner & USCG 100-Ton Master Captain

When you step onto a Chum Bucket Fishing Charters trip, you are fishing with generations of maritime expertise. Saltwater runs deep in my veins. As a fifth-generation mariner born and raised right here locally, I have spent my entire life navigating and fishing the rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

While many captains learn these waters from charts and GPS coordinates later in life, I learned them firsthand from the generations who came before me. Holding an elite USCG 100-Ton Master Captain’s License and backed by thousands of hours of offshore experience, safety and precision are the absolute foundations of every single voyage.

 

 

🎣 My Promise: Packed Freezers & Lifelong Memories

For me, running a charter isn't just a business—it's a lifelong passion. I know exactly where the fish live, how they move with the seasons, and how to put you directly on top of the bite. Whether we are pulling monster Grouper off deep-water wrecks or chasing screaming Pelagics in the blue water, my goal for every charter remains exactly the same:

• Fill Your Freezers: We work tirelessly to ensure you come back to the Fort Myers Beach docks with a heavy haul of fresh, premium fish.

• Build Lifelong Memories: From seasoned anglers looking for a grueling battle to families sharing a special day on the water, I am dedicated to providing a world-class, unforgettable experience.

You supply the passion, and I’ll supply the lifetime of local expertise, top-of-the-line gear, and the fastest ride in Fort Myers Beach. Let's go make some memories!
