With deep roots in the North Florida region and years of time spent on the water, Ethan brings a calm, confident presence to every trip. His knowledge of the local fisheries—whether it’s freshwater lakes near Tallahassee or the saltier reaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast—is grounded in hands-on experience and a genuine passion for helping others connect with the outdoors. Guests often say he feels more like a fishing buddy than a hired guide, with just the right mix of expertise and friendliness.

Beyond the rod and reel, Ethan is deeply involved in giving back to the community. He regularly donates his time and resources to schools, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations, making fishing accessible to children and families who might not otherwise have the chance. His belief that time on the water can change lives—by building confidence, joy, and connection—is reflected in how he runs his charter. These trips aren’t just about catching fish; they’re about creating memories and making people feel seen, heard, and valued.
