Capt. Ryan's passion for fishing began as a boy growing up on the waterways of Brandenton, Florida. After completion of his education, Ryan pursued a successful career in business. He started and continues to operate RRE, LLC which remains a much sought after welding company around the state. Through all of his success in business, Ryan could not forget about his love for fishing. That ongoing interest motivated Ryan to obtain his captains license in 1999. Since then, Capt. Ryan has built a portfolio of clients that exceeds one thousand. Ryan's specialty is the highly regarded "Silver King Tarpon" that migrates to our fishery during the summer months. He has been featured in numerous television shows, articles and celebrity tournament events. Capt. Ryan is a member of the Snook Foundation and the Coastal Conservation Association.
