Well, I’m almost retired. After over 65 years of fishing I now offer some new services:
I can help arrange your fishing charters
I offer phone or FaceTime fishing, tackle buying and any other fishing advice
I am available to ride along on your boat, to help you catch more fish - I have some experience as a expert witness.
Captain Bouncer Smith is experienced in every aspect of the
sport of fishing, in South Florida as well as a variety of ports throughout North
America, he has devoted his life to sharing fishing with others, through his radio
shows, magazine articles, seminars, and on the water. Bouncer has been running
boats out of South Florida since he was 19, working on them since he was 15. He
shares his love of the ocean and fishing with children and adults from the novice
fisherman to the tournament sportsfisherman. He loves all the excitement of catching
bait to monster tarpon and marlin. He has been captain of many Tournament fishing
teams and can arrange one of those opportunities for you, if you wish. This is
the man to take you on a day of fishing you have always dreamed of. E-mail Captain
Bouncer today.

you could ever need is aboard. South Florida offers great fishing for tarpon,
