CAPTAIN JEFF is a FL & NY State / U.S. Coast Guard licensed fishing guide and avid outdoorsman who has been fishing Chautauqua Lake since the age of 5.  He's out on the water any chance he's got, and that devotion has led to a deep understanding of the lake and its fish, allowing him to identify patterns and target specific species. 

​

Captain Jeff spends Winters in the Florida Everglades, where he guides fishing charters in the back country, seeking out red fish, seatrout and snook, then heads to the Florida Keys to put clients on tarpon and permit in the Spring.

​

He feels most at home on Chautauqua Lake, hunting for muskie in Summer through Fall. He is joined by his wife Bethany, son Theo and daughter Lila wherever the tides take them.

Captain Jeff would love to take you out for a great day on the water in South Florida!  Check out https://www.tightlinesfl.com
