The Team

Capt. Taylor Smith

I started fishing with a passion as a young man growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. My fishing journey began in the Creeks, small bass lakes, and Lake Superior. I moved down to Florida in 2017 and immediately fell in love with the Salt water life. Learning the ins and outs of flats fishing, perfecting the techniques, and the endless possibilities of species you can wrangle in, I immediately knew becoming a captain was in my future.

Chris Layman

I grew up most of my life in Tampa (since ’86).  Fishing and boating has always been a hobby while having a career in IT.  The time has come to begin a new journey and turn my hobby into a great retirement opportunity.
