Welcome to madsnookin.com. I am Jesse Karen, A United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain.  I have spent much of my life fishing the 10000 Islands, Everglades, Marco Island, Naples, The Keys,  Charlotte Harbor and the waters of Chokoloskee. While I fish several Snook and Redfish Tournaments throughout the year and pride myself on my professionalism and skill, I welcome fisherman of all skills, better yet, no skill. If you have ever thought of taking a child fishing for the first time, I will ensure the child has an enjoyable and memorable time. As a father of two young boys nothing is more important to me then the respect and admiration a child learns about nature while sport fishing.  No matter what your level of fishing expertise is I promise you a safe and exciting day on the beautiful waters of South West Florida catching big fish !
