Tampa Bay Fishing Report

Bio: Capt. Dan was born in Tampa in 1954 and has lived and fished the Tampa area his entire life. In the mid 1990's Capt. Dan made a decision to make fishing his career. To that end Capt. Dan opened Shell Point Bait and Tackle Located at the mouth of the Little manatee River and Tampa Bay, there he operated both the Bait and Tackle business and the Charter Business. In June of 2006 the marina that Shell Point Bait and tackle was located in was sold and the lease for the bait shop was lost. Capt. Dan continues to operate the Charter business from his home located across the river from the old bait shop. From this location it is but a short boat ride to some of the best fishing on Tampa Bay. Capt. Dan is a member of the Florida Guides association as well as the National Association of charter boat operators and the Coastal Conservation Association. In 2005 Capt. Dan became a board member for the Florida Guides Association and pro staff member for both Lee Fisher Nets and Triple Fish International. In 2006 Capt.
