Captain Jess has been fishing for as long as he can remember. His passion began in Kentucky, where he grew up catching redbreast sunfish and bass. After his family relocated to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, he quickly developed a lifelong passion for saltwater fishing.
Following many successful years competing on professional redfish tours, Captain Jess turned that passion and experience into a full-time career. Today, he provides memorable inshore fishing adventures tailored to anglers of every age and skill level, from first-time fishermen and families to experienced anglers pursuing their next great catch.
