Frothy began his career as a commercial Angler at the age of 19 in Trinidad, where he was born, learning an immense amount of deep sea fishing knowledge. By 1986 he had moved his operation to the sister island of Tobago with his boat "Hard Play" and began offering Fishing charters with the knowledge he possessed.
In 1995 Frothy followed his dream of fishing the waters of Madeira to try to catch a giant marlin ("Grander Marlin") and there his addiction began, fishing seasonally there, acquiring the "Fishing Grossa" in 2006. The business also expanded to Grenada with the "Gold Spoon" and Frothy was now fishing all over the world. Captain "Frothy" understands the different needs and expectations of each of his clients. Whether you are a beginner, chasing your personal record, looking for a good time or aspiring to break a world record. He is on hand to take your needs into account and customize your charter experience. Frothy has fished in many destinations around the world as a Captain and IGFA committee representative, and has had the benefit of learning techniques and knowledge from professional and local Anglers in many locations.
He has fished the waters of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Martinique, Barbados, St. Lucia, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Bahamas, Florida, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Venezuela, Madeira and the Azores. Frothy is also an experienced fly fisherman and instructor, and enjoys a good day "throwing some down." If inland fishing is your thing, he's sure to show you the best spots in Madeira.
