Captain Jeff Hagman

A regular in southwest Florida fishing tournaments, Hagaman focuses his efforts on the FLW Redfish Tour as well as tarpon and kingfish events along his coast. "
Captain Geoffrey Page

An expert in light tackle flats fishing and beach tarpon fishing. Page fishes out of a 22' Pathfinder XL Tournament powered with the new Yamaha SHO V-Max 250.

He has one first place finish along with at least 20 top ten finishes in 8 years of professional red fishing.
Captain Ron Hueston
Captain Ron Hueston of Naples, FL, has been fishing 15 years in the Everglades and 10,000 Islands. An expert at targeting trophy snook in the Everglades region at night using spin and plug rods, Hueston fishes out of a Skeeter ZX22 Bay Boat powered by 250hp Yamaha. Hueston, a Professional Angler, fishes the national redfish circuit tournaments with (2) 1st place finishes. He supports his region by fishing and guiding in local inshore tournaments such as the Flatmasters and Redsnook Charity tournaments, winning several big fish awards as the guide.
Captain Ridge Murphy
Born in Homestead, Capt. Ridge Murphy has been fishing the waters off South Florida since he was three. You may have seen him in episodes of Sportsman’s Adventures as well as casting a line and spreading his knowledge of fishing on Captain Rick Murphy YouTube Channel. Whether it’s inshore or offshore, Capt. Ridge is an expert angler in his own right. He has fished in dozens of tournaments, including the prestigious Herman Lucerne Memorial, Miami Billfish, Super Bowl Tournaments and Quest for the Crest Sailfish Series. He also competes as a guide in the Tarpon Fly Tournament, Golden Fly, Gold Cup and the Ladies Tarpon Fly Tournament where he took first place in 2023. Capt. Ridge is a CCA Life Member joining many anglers as a voice in conservation. On his days off, you’ll most likely find him chasing snook, redfish, tarpon and trout in the Everglades. With Capt. Ridge, chartering is as much about the experience as it is the catch: “Taking people out and watching them enjoy the outdoors as much as I do never gets old. Helping them land their first fish––or even their hundredth––is always a thrill.”
