Fly and Light Tackle Fishing Guides

Over the past twenty five years Geoff has guided in literally all of the major "all tackle" and fly tournaments throughout the Florida Keys, Biscayne Bay and Everglades. Although Geoff's anglers have won or placed in many of these events, he is quick to point out; "Tournament fishing can make a much better angler or guide out of you, forcing you to make quicker decisions, maximizing every second on the water. However fishing as a competitive sport is not for everyone and at times it can be too restrictive regarding the tournament rules such as fishing times and geography, taking away from the quality of the fishing experience. Furthermore, I'm not convinced that the ever growing number of tournaments is good for the resource. I think that the essence of the sport is not always to catch greater numbers and bigger fish than the other guy, but to enjoy the experience, the solitude, learning something new, providing opportunities for my anglers and returning to the dock relaxed... without the self imposed stress that accompanies competitive fishing. After all, it’s just fishin'!
