Capt. Mike was born on Marathon Key in
1963 and raised on Lower Matecumbe Key. He has been fishing the waters of the
Florida Keys offshore and backcountry since childhood under the tutelage of
local captains and mates, including working during summer school vacations as a
mate on The "Capt. Jack" out of Bud & Mary’s Marina in Islamorada and later
catching lobster and stone crab on The "Dragnet" out of Lower Matecumbe Key.
Before starting his own business, Mike worked as a mate on the
"Yankee Freedom" and "Yankee Capt's" on trips to the Dry Tortugas National Park
out of Key West. |
