I have lived in and been fishing South Florida for over 19 years. Born and raised on South Africa's east coast, my passion for fishing began at an early age and has remained a significant part of my life since. I guide throughout South East Florida trailering my boat from Stuart to Biscayne Bay. This covers Stuart, Jupiter, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Boca Raton & Biscayne Bay (Miami). Depending on your location, the species you wish to pursue, time of year and weather conditions I'm flexible as to where we fish. This helps us maximize our chances of success.
My boat is called “The King's Fisher” hence TKF Charters (just in case you were wondering).
I am a United States Coast Guard licensed Captain, a license which I have held for over 13 years.
I must confess ... I'm an absolute fishaholic. I truly enjoy fishing & sharing my love for the sport with others. Fly, artificial or live bait – doesn't matter, we'll do it all. Excitement about going fishing still keeps me up the night before. I can't wait to get out and try new tackle and techniques. I watch just about every fishing show my Tivo & loving-patient wife can handle. Each time I go fishing it still amazes me just how good the fishing in South Florida is. ou get the benefit of all the creature comforts close by but can still catch trophy fish that some folk travel half way round the world to pursue. You can stay at Motel 6 or The Ritz Carlton, in the morning pick up Dunkin Donuts or Starbuck's coffee, have an incredible days fishing and then be dining at Wendy's or Ruth's Chris that night. If you have family with you that don't want to fish there is always something to keep them happy while you go and have the real fun (this is Florida after all!). It's what I like to refer to as “Civilized Fishing”.
In the interest of conserving our natural resources I practice Catch and Release fishing (do however use fish for bait though). I fish for the love, sport and adventure of fishing. If you are looking to fill a cooler, unfortunately I'm not your guy. If you enjoy the challenge & reward of the sport without necessarily terminating the fish's existence then let's go fishing!
We'll take a bunch of pictures to record your catch and release the fish to be caught again another day, maybe by you next year, a few pounds heavier (the fish that is). If you want a mount of any of the fish caught, fiberglass replica mounts are the way to go. With a few good photos and some measurements you'll have all you need to get a stunning mount made. These fiberglass mounts are so good, they look better than “real” mounted fish and last indefinitely.
Anglers of all skill levels are welcome.
If you don't mind my funny accent and are looking for a great day's fishing in a relaxed, friendly and encouraging environment then I'm looking forward to meeting you and sharing my love for the sport.
