Raised in New York, Dino developed a passion for fly fishing thanks to his father, who often fished for trout and steelhead. After spending a decade as a guide out of Staten Island, where he reliably helped clients catch Striped Bass, False Albacore, Bonito, and Bluefish, Dino relocated to Jupiter, Florida in 2003. There, he eagerly resumed guiding fly fishing trips, specializing in both inshore and offshore excursions on a full-time basis.
Whether your goal is to pursue inshore species such as Snook, Tarpon, and Jacks within the Loxahatchee and Indian River estuaries or to venture offshore to the Gulfstream for an adrenaline-filled chase after False Albacore, Mahi-Mahi, or Blackfin Tuna, Dino is fully equipped with the boats, fly fishing gear, and expertise needed to provide a safe and memorable adventure on the water. He is also flexible with pick-up locations, making it convenient for you to start your trip.
Clients consistently praise Dino’s skills. One angler shared an exciting four-hour night fishing trip where Dino helped them land their first tarpon on the fly, along with multiple snook, jacks, and another tarpon (which unfortunately escaped). This success was notable even with the full moon reducing fish activity during the latter part of the outing. The consensus is clear: if you can cast, Dino can find the fish.
Spending time on the water with Dino offers more than just fishing; it’s an educational experience with detailed guidance on casting techniques and fish behavior, alongside top-quality equipment and plenty of laughs. He comes highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional fly fishing in the greater Jupiter and Palm Beach areas.
