About Captain Ryan
Some say I am obsessed with fishing.
I won’t tell them their wrong.
When I met my wife, Melinda, I told her, “I don’t know if I will ever love anything more than fishing.”
It was the truth and she still married me, it’s getting close to 20 years. (She is kind of nuts)
What I hear most from my clients- both coaching and fishing clients– is that, “I’m the real deal.”
I would agree with that too, however it wasn’t easy to get there— mentally and skill wise.
Most captains do not care and will take your money; I care. I will be honest about the weather and the fishing, it may not be want you to hear, but that is how I operate my Florida Keys fishing charter business.
I do not offer split charters because they are bad news.
Instead of sharing some boring bio about how I grew up fishing on the rivers in IL and moved to The Keys after we both were laid off in 2009 because I had a dream.
I thought I would share this:
I am the real deal…
YOU reel it in.
I don’t have mates, I’m in it to win it with you.
I don’t wear fancy clothes or brag.
I don’t sit in the tower, heck, I don’t even have a tower.
I get just as pissed off if the bite is tough, but I work that much harder to get the fish.
I love the thrill of the hunt and to always be learning new techniques and see what happens.
And I catch big fish.
But at the end of the day,
It’s important to remember,
“Anytime you’re fishing it’s all good!”
I look forward to fishing or coaching with you-
Capt. Ryan
