 Kevin
Merritt Originally from North Carolina, Captain
Kevin ended up in southwest Florida owing to his career goal of finding
the best light tackle angling. He joins a family tradition of career mariners
so it's no surprise he's an accomplished tournament angler and a top notch
guide. In fact, he's sometimes described as a "never quit" kind
of fisherman. Find out why. |
 Rick
Murphy Rick specializes
in saltwater light tackle fishing, fly fishing and casting seminars. However,
he’s instantly recognizable as the star of Sportsman’s Adventures
on Sunshine Network. He's a full-time fishing guide and has produced five
guided and personal world records which might tell you why this popular
Captain is in demand for almost every major tournament. |
 Mark
Nichols An inventor from the field, not the lab, Mark
made the entire family of D.O.A. products based on experience. He also
manages to fish a couple hundred days a year, which is why he's one of
the premier lure designers. Not afraid to share his fishing passion, Mark
is going to show you how to fish his artificial lures in both shallow
and deep water when searching for big fish. |
 Mike
Rehr Mike's a bi-coastal fisherman...fishing Ft. Myers
for redfish, snook and tarpon and then popping over to Key West in the
Summer to fish for permit, bonefish and more tarpon. European TV loves
him and so does ESPN. His art is saltwater and light tackle fishing...get
the picture? |
 Rick
Ruoff We're not sure if it's Rick or the kids who get
the greatest kick out of Rick's instructions. Either way, photo ops are
aplenty when kids learn and conquer casting and fly tying. You may have
seen Rick featured on ESPN's "Orvis Sporting Life". His background
is so rich in fishing experience that Fly Rod & Reel chose him for
its first Guide Of The Year award. |
 Robin
Senger Also known as "The Outboard
Professor," Robin Senger is THE man when it comes to explaining
marine outboard technology. He knows engines like fish know water. Let
this expert bring you up to date on current changes in the 2 & 4
stroke outboards. Bonus! Tips on Maintaining Your Engine. |
 Alex
Suescun Captain Alex feels equally at home
stalking tailers on the flats or casting dry flies in a trout stream.
Not only has he fine-tuned many angling techniques, but he's also developed
some of his own. His nine IGFA World Records, five of them set while filming
episodes of Tarpon Bay Tales, are clear evidence of his skills and his
proficiency with all types of tackle. Today, he talks about working the
flats. |
 Paul
Tejera This professional guide runs "on the water"
fly fishing schools both here and internationally. Paul's won numerous
tournaments and titles over the years using his obviously successful stalking
techniques. He's rightfully proud of his Best of the West Fly Casting
Championship and Grand Champion Angler award. We are delighted to add
his demonstration to the show roster. |
 Blair
Wiggins "The Mogan Man"
Blair Wiggins stars in his own TV show entitled "Addictive Fishing
Television." The title is apt...Blair is a professional fishing guide
and loves to fish. He particularly likes catching GIANT REDFISH in Central
Florida's Indian River. |
 Alan
Zaremba Alan is a native Floridian who has fished Miami's
extensive canal network since he can remember. He’s gotten so good
at it that he’s been able to spend the last 11 years guiding. In
his spare time he fishes. When it’s time for recreation he competes
in fishing tournaments. Now he's fishing South America and that includes
making multiple trips there all year long with his fishing clients.. We
think he can tell you a whole lot about Peacock Bass. |
