It is my privilege to be a Tampa FL native, growing up in one of the fishing capitols of the world. I live just minutes from the beautiful flats of Tampa Bay, on which I have spent countless hours searching, studying and educating myself on the patterns and habits of Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon and many other game fish. When I started Steady Action Fishing Charters I had one thing in mind, to be the Tampa fishing guide on the water.

Born in Tampa in 1954, I have lived and fished the Tampa area my entire life. In the mid 1990's I decided to make Tampa fishing my career. To that end I opened Shell Point Bait and Tackle, located at the mouth of the Little manatee River and Tampa Bay, where I operated both a Bait and Tackle business and a fishing charter business. In June of 2006 the marina that Shell Point Bait and Tackle was located in was sold and the lease for the bait shop was lost.
