I was raised here in Central Florida and an avid fisherman my entire life. As a kid, I fished in the many lakes of Seminole County and when I got older started surf fishing. I got hooked on offshore fishing as a young adult and the rest is history.  Trolling is my favorite but, I do love a good snapper bite.  I scuba dive too but now more for pleasure than hunting with a spear gun.  CFOA is a great family oriented club full of members that love to fish and willing to share their knowledge.

Scott grew up fishing the waters around Merritt Island, FL.  Starting at the age of 10 around the mangroves of Sykes Creek fishing for snook, reds, juvenile Tarpon, and trout, he quickly gained an obsession for the sport.  He turned to the flats in the area of the banana and indian rivers fishing for the giant reds that abound in the area.  From the flats, he started to look to the surf and rocks around Sebastian Inlet and Port Canaveral.  There his favorite species to catch was snook.

He graduated to offshore fishing in the last 10 years and hasn't looked back.  He and his wife have slowly learned the techniques to become successful from the green water to the blue.

I developed my passion for fishing growing up on the shores of Lake Erie with my parents who loved to fish and boat. My husband Bruce and I also fished the Chesapeake Bay for 30 years near our home in Severna Park, Maryland. Following retirement, we decided to move to Orlando area so we could continue our quest for fishing adventures in the ocean, Gulf, lagoons, rivers and lakes in our bay boat and kayaks. We are also enjoying passing on our love of fishing to our grandchildren. CFOA is a great family friendly fishing club. I enjoy meeting new fishing friends, listening to guest speakers to learn new techniques, going to club events and trips, and having a great time fishing with members who share the love of sportfishing.
