Port Canaveral Fishing Tournament Captain
Brent enjoys competing in local fishing tournaments out of
Port Canaveral. He's been a consistant scorer in many of the large fishing
circuits like the Southern Kingfish Association Tournament (SKA) orLocally
sponsored fishing tournaments in the greater Orlando, Florida and Brevard
County area. Here's a list of some Space Coast Fishing Tournaments that Captain
Brent has competed in.

SKA (Port Canaveral) 2nd
FSFA Grand Prize, 2nd place Top Boat, Top Lady Anglers (3
yrs.) 1st place Cobia
"Much of my success in tournaments and in my everyday
fishing is due to my years of local knowledge of our waters and areas combined
with using livebaiting techniques that I've refined over time and of course a
little luck and patience." explains Captain Brent when asked about his
fishing experience.
When Brents not fishing (which is rare), you may find him
trekking up north to his hunting camp for a few weeks a year where he's at home
hunting whitetail deer, hiking and scouting the woods, loading feeders and
sitting by the camp fire. His enthusiam for the outdoors carries over into
almost all areas of his life.
Being born and raised on Florida's west coast Brent quickly
swapped over it's East Coast for it's spectacular and diverse fishing. Living
in Tampa for his youngest years, Brent often visited family and friends on the
Atlantic side and found these waters "more to his liking", according
to Brent himself.
"I've always enjoyed the fishing on the east coast
where there seems to be a more diverse fishery from deep sea palegics like king
mackerel and dolphin to benthic bottom fish like snapper and grouper. While the
fishing has changed over the years, I've responded by changing my fishing
tactics and following the fisheries more closly."
Sightfishing for cobia is probably Brent's favorite type of
fishing which more often starts in the spring around March (depending on water
temperatures) and continues into the early summer. "It's a kick when you
find loads of fish on a big manta ray and present baits and lures to these
tremendous fish. Many anglers have never had the opportunity to cast at large
free swimming fish and have them attack with such ferousity as a cobia does
often."
