A street motorcycle racer when not on the water, Captain Gage is always going full speed ahead!

A 3rd generation fisherman, Captain Gage's grandfather and father introduced him to fishing when the gifted him his first rod.

That one rod set things in motion, and Captain Gage has been fishing nonstop ever since. After earning his federal reef and pelagic permits while running a Chichlid farm, Captain Gage has been professionally fishing the Gulf of Mexico for over 12 years.

While a fan of all types of fishing, Captain Gage specializes in unbeatable reef and wreck fishing using bottom drop fishing and mid-water techniques for Snapper, Hogfish, Grouper, and much, much more.
