Meet Jeffrey Bell of Florida Fishing Mate in Coconut Grove

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jeffrey Bell.

Jeffrey, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I moved to South Florida 31 years ago when I was a young boy. I immediately caught the fishing bug and have been obsessed ever since. I remember the days when I would go out on the local party boats at the age of 12 and catch more fish then my arm could reel in. Sadly those days are long gone and it is much more challenging to catch the big one. That’s where I can help! I have spent many years learning and adapting to the changing techniques. This has resulted in a proven record of success! I have won several tournaments, including the ” Shake a leg Shootout” I am very kid-friendly. I would love nothing more than to come to your boat and show you all the techniques I have learned over the years. Or we can just go Hardcore Fishing!!

Has it been a smooth road?
