Capt.
Brian McCadie
I hail
from Midland, Michigan, where I grew up fishing for salmon,
steelhead and lake trout in Lake Huron, along with bass, pike,
and walleye in island lakes and rivers. I have fished the
Keys’ waters professionally for six years. However,
my Keys fishing career began when I was very young; my family
vacationed here my whole life. My goal as a captain is to
see to it that every customer on my boat catches the fish
he/she is looking for, whether it's that trophy grouper or
king mackerel, or a cooler full of delicious snapper.
Although
there are no guarantees in fishing, I will promise you that,
if you fish with me, I will work as hard as I can and give
a 100-percent effort to see to it that you leave the boat
with a smile on your face, and fresh fillets for dinner.
Best of
luck wherever you may find yourself with a line in the water. |

Capt.
Arek “Eric” Wojcik
I was born and raised in southeastern Poland
where my Daddy handed me a fishing pole instead of a rattle.
By the age of 12, my Dad and I had fished the Vistula River
for brown trout, into the 10,000 Lakes region in northeastern
Poland for perch and carp, and then straight into the Baltic
Sea where we would reef in cod, mackerel and salmon.
After
years of cold-water fishing, I headed for the warm water of
Florida where I’ve been offshore fishing in the Gulf
of Mexico and the Atlantic since 1995. Now I navigate my craft,
the "Fishin’ Pole," a 30ft Grady White 306
Bimini center console, off the Florida Keys where I hunt down
dolphin, swordfish, wahoo and a variety of bottom species!
What’s
more, if you’re not looking to just crank in a fish
the mates caught for you and you actually want to learn something,
I’m ready and willing to take the time to share some
of my own fish-hookin’ know-how with you. Whether you’re
an experienced sport fisherman or not, I’ll make sure
your experience on the "Fishin’ Pole" will
make you feel like an Ol’ Salt! Call me when you are
ready to get your hands bloody, and let’s kill some
fish. |
