Bio: Captain Bret Gamrot first fished the wild waters of Tampa Bay in 1978 when he was just 9 years old. His father took him fishing twenty miles offshore out of John’s Pass digging for grouper in the Gulf of Mexico. His love for the water grew even more to include inshore fishing, fly-fishing, and SCUBA diving. His first tank dive was in the Florida Keys at age 12. During the summer of 1992 Bret traveled to Alaska for two months hiking, fishing and living off the land. He credits his Alaska trip as the pivotal experience that inspired him to take a career path in the outdoors.
Bret has also traveled to Costa Rica, Guatemala, and the Bahamas, chasing many fish with his fly rod. Since 2001 Capt. Bret has published Onshore-Offshore Magazine. As the magazine has flourished, he has continued to photograph and write about his fishing, hunting and traveling adventures.
Today Captain Bret guides and fishes out of St. Petersburg Florida. Bret also ads, “I just always thank God and my parents for moving down here from Pittsburgh PA and showing me a wonderful life on the water and the outdoors.”
