Fish With Capt. Barry

Over 30 years ago a boat was born and bred on the tidal flats of the Florida Keys. That boat was the 18 Maverick and it was to become one of the most important milestones in the evolution of light tackle angling. These early Mavericks literally defined a new way to fish for extremely wary shallow water quarry like bonefish, permit and tarpon. As the sport of shallow water fishing grew beyond a handful of determined anglers and guides, the Maverick name became synonymous with leadership in innovation, uncompromised quality and bulletproof performance. Captain Barry has been an avid fisherman for 40 years fishing most of the states in the U.S., all the provinces of Canada and many countries in Europe. His first experience as a guide was in Cape Britain Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, fly fishing for salmon and trout in the mid 1970's. In 1986, he had a charter boat in Michigan fishing for salmon, steelhead, browns and lake trout. Then in 1990, he began permanently fishing the east coast of Florida as a charter captain and guide.
