The water kept
calling him back.

Heath has fished across the country and spent years guiding on Lake Michigan and small lakes. But Florida’s East Coast was the place he kept coming back to.

After eight years of towing his boat between Northern Indiana and Florida, he made New Smyrna Beach his permanent home. Today, he shares that passion with anglers, families and visitors who want a great day on the water.

See you on the water, Heath
