About Bruce

More than 50 years of fishing, from the Florida flats to the blue water off Costa Rica.

I've been fishing for more than 50 years: fresh water and salt water, inshore flats and the deep blue offshore. It still never gets old.

I'm a boat owner and operator and hold a 100-Ton Master license. My boat was a custom 34-foot express with diesel inboards, built by East Bay Boatworks.

Where I've Fished


Florida. I've fished all over the state, mostly the Florida Keys, the Everglades, Marco Island, Boca Grande, Venice and Englewood.

The Bahamas. More than 50 trips to the islands, including Bimini and San Salvador, chasing wahoo, mahi, tuna and billfish.

Costa Rica. More than 50 trips, fishing out of Los SueƱos, Marina Pez Vela, Marina Papagayo and Golfito.

Louisiana. Redfish in the marsh out of Venice and Chalmette, and offshore from Venice for yellowfin tuna.

Why I Built This Site


After all those trips, I've gotten to know a lot of captains. 4 Great Fishing is where I share the charters I recommend in the places I know best. Every listing links straight to the captain, so you book directly with them.
