Background
From a young age, like Captain John, Eric’s true passion in life has also always been fishing. He grew up charter fishing throughout Southern Florida and the Bahamas aboard Reel Candy, acquiring skills and experience from the start-up of the business over 20 years ago. Although a large amount of his tournament success and fishing career has been on Reel Candy, Eric has also been recruited to fish aboard many other vessels from time to time.
Some of his tournament experience include The Bahamas Billfish Championship Tournament, Treasure Cay Billfish Tournament, White Marlin Open and many local Stuart and Jupiter Sailfish tournaments.
In addition, Eric spends much of his free time developing a local knowledge of fresh and backwaters using different fishing techniques including casting, jigging, and fly fishing for species such as Peacock Bass, Large Mouth, Cichlids, Snook and
Tarpon. Eric’s passion for fishing, work ethic, personality and lifetime of local knowledge make him a valuable part of the Reel Candy team, you will be impressed!
