How to Catch a Key West Grand Slam | WAYPOINT

It’s about 6:30 am, just as the sun is beginning to peek over the horizon and Capt. Labadie is charging ahead to the crew’s first destination.

Why We Created Saltwater Experience

When I discovered that guiding anglers was actually a way to make a living, I dove in head first.  My career started in Jackson, WY at Bressler Outfitters.  I was the everything guy who was the lowest on the totem pole and called “The Swamper”.  I did everything from changing bearings on trailers to taking firewood to camp.  I also got to do some guiding when everyone else was full and when they weren’t it was up to me to go teach fly casting at local guest ranches to try to recruit some trips.
