Born and raised in Jacksonville Florida, Captain Bryson Shaaber grew up on the water and has been fishing ever since. Jacksonville offered him the St John River, Inter-Coastal Waterways, and Beaches where he learned his trade. Wherever he went he was obsessed with pursuing the local species, and figuring out how to fish for them, but once he took his first family trip to the Florida Keys, everywhere else did not measure up.

While attending Florida State University, Capt. Bryson first started working in the Florida Keys for the Boy Scouts over the summers at Florida Sea Base. An Eagle Scout himself, he realized his passion from educating and teaching younger scouts about the ecosystem and fishery of the Florida Keys. After graduating college, he made the big move to live full-time in Key West, and pursue his dream of becoming a charter fishing guide.

​

Capt. Bryson has been guiding in the Lower Keys since 2015, and his passion as a guide not only provides a knowledgeable and productive charter, but a fun and unforgettable experience of a lifetime for all ages.
