Capt.
Kevin was born and raised in the Fort Myers area and
has been an outdoor enthusiast all of his life. Kevin's
outdoor education started early in his life as he spent
many a day on the water with his grandfather, who happened
to be a commercial fisherman working in the waters around
Pine Island. Capt. Kevin has been instrumental in the
success of Southwest Florida Outdoors. In fact, the
very first show we ever filmed with Kevin was an unbelievable
inshore grouper show. The fishing was so good that we
brought our cameras back a week later and on a cold,
rainy and very windy day in January we set 4 IGFA world
records on gag groupers in less than two hours. Capt.
Kevin Holley can be contacted at 239-567-1744 or via
email at 
Capt.
Ralph is our resident expert on fishing the far reaches
of Charlotte Harbor. He has been an outdoor enthusiast
long before his graduation from Charlotte High in Punta
Gorda in 1977. His love of the outdoors and particularly
fishing prompted him to continue his education by receiving
a degree in Ocean Engineering (magna cum laude) from
the Florida Institute of Technology. In 1985, he became
the owner/operator of King Fisher Fleet and has since
turned the King Fisher Fleet into one of the best charter
services in the Southwest Florida area. Capt Ralph not
only has a personal love for fishing, but his resume
shows by the number of organizations and committees
he belongs to, that he is truly concerned about sharing
his knowledge and ensuring the future of sport fishing
for future generations. His vast knowledge of not only
the Punta Gorda area, but his understanding and concern
for the environment will be a great asset to our viewers
this season. Capt. Ralph Allen can be contacted at 941-639-0969

Capt.
Terry Davis has fished Southwest Florida for nearly
thirty years, from Pine Island sound and south to the
Ten Thousand Islands. Always fishing for big snook,
redfish, trout and the silver king himself, the tarpon.
He is not only an accomplished saltwater guide and angler,
but is also an experienced fresh water B.A.S.S. Tournament
angler as well. He also writes a humorous fishing column
for the Ft. Myers News-Press. His grandfather once told
him if you do something you love for a living and are
good at it, you're a lucky man. Terry loves to fish,
and he loves to take people fishing, and yes, he's a
lucky man. Capt. Terry Davis can be contacted at 239-992-6773
or via the internet at 
Capt.
Eric (Flip) Davis is Capt. Terry's son and the apple
that didn't fall from from the tree. His love of fishing
is even greater than his fathers. He's a second generation
native guide and one of the best at what he does. Capt.
Eric (sometimes known as the "barefoot" capt.)
started fishing the waters of Southwest Florida at the
ripe old age of two and a half with his father. After
learning most of dad's tricks he learned a couple on
his own. at the age of eighteen, Capt. Eric was on the
B.A.S.S. Florida State team that was comprised of the
best twelve anglers in the state. He has placed in the
top of many saltwater tournaments for snook, redfish
and trout. Currently at the age of twenty-two, Capt.
Eric is the youngest member of our guide staff. However,
if he continues to produce fish for our cameras as he
has in the past, some of the older guys may be looking
to play catch up. Capt. Eric Davis can be contacted
at 239-992-6773 or via the internet at 
Captain Charlie gives credit to his Mother and Father for turning him into such an avid fisherman at the age of 3. He has pursued fresh and saltwater fish around the United States and abroad. His fishing career has taken him in many directions from work as a fisheries assistant and research diver for the University of Washington to becoming Southwest Florida Outdoors’ resident Executive Chef. Charlie’s outstanding recipes have been featured numerous times on Southwest Florida Outdoors. He admits that working, as a guide is his calling because he loves to see his guests catch fish. Charlie currently guides in Colorado, but also is a seasoned and knowledgeable guide in the Southwest Florida area and we might an excellent chef. Capt. Bruni can be contacted at 970-531-3699 
Capt.
Steve is another guide who was born and raised in the
area. In fact, Steve's family's roots go back so far
that his great-great grandfather was one of the original
settlers in the area. Needless to say, that gives Steve
a lot of history to draw from, and he uses it well when
it comes time to produce. Based on his understanding
of how wind and tides will effect a days fishing, you
will see Steve produce fish from areas most guides shy
away from. and this season our cameras will find Steve
discussing such topics as "summertime strategies"
and "understanding the tides". Capt. Steve
Waugh can be contacted at 239-337-1118, 
Capt.
Andrew is another local native, but has chosen to set
up shop a little further south. Andrew is our
expert for the Marco - Chokoloskee area. His vast
knowledge of the waterways that intertwine with the
mangrove islands down south is amazing. When you
couple that with his ability to produce quality fish
on a consistent basis, says a lot about Andrew’s dedication
to understanding his profession. Capt. Andrew
besides being a full time guide is currently fishing
the Redfish Tour. Our plans are not only to fish
with Andrew down south, but to be with him and his partner
as they pre-fish and strategize for one of the tournaments
on the Redfish Tour.

offshore and inshore waters of Southwest Florida for

Rica to Alaska to include Hawaii. Rick has guided a
number of national TV personalities and our own cameras
to some extraordinary offshore fishing. In addition,
Rick also participates numerous fishing seminars during
the course of the year including the Saltwater Sportsman
