If I had a dollar for every time I heard that… Well I guess I run about 300 trips a year so every year I would have $300 more dollars. My name is Captain Greg and I have the privilege to fish for a living. I own Sea Leveler Sport Fishing Charters, located in Cape Canaveral Florida, and we take people deep sea fishing. Every trip I hear “Man You Have The Life”. Followed by, I bet you meet some interesting people and have some crazy stories. Followed by, do you ever get sick of it? I always answer, “Yes I do have the life and yes I meet some interesting people and yes I’ve seen some crazy stuff and no I never get sick of it.” In this blog I plan on giving insight on owning and operating a deep sea fishing charter business. I’m going to tell stories from the past and stories as they happen. I will introduce you to people that are so unbelievable you will think this is fiction. It will all be told exactly how it happened. Most of it will make you laugh. Some of it may piss you off. A little might make you cry and a good handful will just leave you scratching your head. I really look forward to sharing my experiences with you. I don’t think there will be any chronological order nor rhyme or reason to what I decide to write about. Welcome to my life!
Capt Greg started fishing as a little boy with his mom in Labelle, FL. They later moved to Cocoa, and he continued fishing in any water he could find, primarily the Indian River Lagoon in Titusville. Throughout his teenage years, he would save all of his money to get a ride on a party boat whenever he could. He met Capt Stan at the young age of 8 years old! Stan and Greg fished every day together from Manatee Hammock where they both lived with their parents. They continued to be friends throughout school and both started working on the Ocean Obsession party boat right after highschool. One day, Greg decided to start a fishing charter business and he knew exactly the right man to have at his side, Capt Stan. Greg bought the first boat in 2001 and Stan agreed work with Greg. Over the years, Greg expanded the business to 4 boats. Greg added three more full time Captains, a good long-term friend, Capt Steve and another great fisherman, Capt Garren along with his brother, Capt Ronnie. Greg is married to his high school sweetheart and they have 2 boys together. His wife and sons all love to fish with him on his days off. This blog is about the life Greg knows as a charter boat captain and fishing reports. He gets to see amazing sites, meet crazy people, make dreams come true, and ride-out the few and far between bad days when every fish in the ocean seems to go away.
