Captain David Borries is a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain and specializes in light tackle and fly fishing. He has been fishing northeast Florida for over 20 years and is a full-time fishing guide. His love for fishing started at a young age. As a young boy growing up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, David's fondest memories are fishing with his father out of a wooden rowboat. He is a staff writer for Onshore-Offshore Magazine and has been featured in Florida Sportsman and Trailer Boats Magazine. Capt. David was the 2002 Mercury Celebrity Classic grand champion guide. However, one of his biggest accomplishments is teaching young kids how to fish.
I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. My dad had me out on the Indian and Banana rivers before I could walk. (Even to this day, my family, which includes both my dad and mom and brother and sister, still supports my fishing career, often traveling considerable distances to encourage me during the tournaments.) I was home-schooled through high school and part of the blessing that experience was the time it afforded me to fish - almost on a daily basis which was easy considering my house is on the Indian River n Merritt Island. As I grew older, the range of my fishing territory expanded along the Indian River Lagoon System, North to Scotsmoore and South to Sebastian Inlet including the world famous Mosquito Lagoon. My passion for fishing and the amount of time I spent on the water fueled an interest in fishing tournaments, in which I began competing locally in 2001. Success in the local tournaments has encouraged me to join the national redfish circuits.
