Hailing from upstate New York, As a child, Captain Kyle's family would vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and this is where his love for saltwater fishing flourished. He was eager to learn different fishing techniques and tips from wherever and whoever possible. From shore fishing for croaker and blue fish to offshore fishing for mahimahi and tuna and everything in-between.
