Bio: Captain Michael “MJ” Alligood has grown up on the water and on boats his entire life, from bass and bream fishing on the Saint John’s river in Jacksonville FL, to fishing blue water off the coast. After graduating college, he realized that the office was no place for him. His professional fishing career started in south Florida where he began commercial fishing for King mackerel, snapper, Baitfish, and lobster diving. He began running inshore and offshore charters from Singer Island FL and West Palm Beach inlet aboard a 25’ SeaVee, before moving on to the larger private sport fish yachts, which gave him the opportunity to travel extensively and gain experience fishing throughout the Atlantic, Caribbean, gulf of Mexico and pacific, before finally settling here in Los Suenos. Some places Michael has fished include: Bahamas, Mexico, Bermuda, Ecuador, Jamaica, Panama, Columbia throughout the eastern seaboard of the US, and the oil rigs in throughout the gulf of México from Texas to Florida Of all the places he has traveled and toured, Costa Rica is on top of his list. The beautiful landscape, great weather, calm seas, friendly locals and a wide variety of large game fish to pursue are tough to beat. He loves being in the water as much as on top of it. An avid freediver, he always welcomes the opportunity to hop in the water and see what is going on beneath the surface, giving him a unique perspective of the areas he fishes.
