Captain Jeremy Heimes

Being born and raised in the sunshine state of florida. I was always intrigued by the outdoors. Fishing or Hunting was a favorite pastime of mine. Capt Jeremy HeimesMy father and grandfathers were either into racing cars or fishing & hunting, and needless to say mine was fishing.

From the time I was two and could hold a cane pole my grandmother had me on their dock fishing in their stocked pond, my grandfather said I hair lipped every fish in the pond at least once. Bread balls were the bait of choice for a two year old, I once ran out of bread and was determined to fish so I used a brown paper bag and yes this is a true story I caught a 1 lb. bass, my grandmother can testify.

Capt Jeremy HeimesWe were always on the water somewhere fishing for a variety of fish . Be it bluegills, brim, bass or soft shelled turtles I was always hooking something. My grandparents owned a houseboat and had it on Lake Hatchineha in St. Cloud FL. We spent many weekends on that houseboat, night fishing with lights for specks. I remember holding two cane poles at once with a fish on each, a young mans dream if you know what I mean.

When I was about 7 yrs old my parents bought property in Perry fl. ten minutes from the Gulf and Keaton Beach Marina also a half hour from Steinehatchee FL, which is know for its scallop season. This became our families new pastime each and every weekend we went to Perry to get away from the Tampa area. Whether it be for trout, cobia, big reds, flounders or just to scallop we loved the peace and quiet of a fish camp. The Perry area is quite different, I remember when we first bought the place my parents were surprised at the fact that every one waved at you as they drove by. Most the people you'd meet would be country folks, very nice and loved to talk about what they caught for the day which was right up my alley.

We still own the property in Perry 20 years later. I have many memories on the Gulf coast of florida and would not mind spending time showing you a fun filled day on the water... My favorite pastime you know?!!
