Captain Ryan Rowan

A love of fishing has been Captain Ryan's passion for as long as he can remember. Born Ryan William Rowan in Atlanta, Georgia on November 11, 1971 his family relocated to Bradenton, Florida when he was a year old. Ryan remained in Bradenton until he was an adult and moved to the Charlotte Harbor area to pursue a fishing career.

Captain Ryan received his Captain's license over 12 years ago when he began running backwater and tarpon fishing charters as well as participating in inshore tournaments and the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series in Boca Grande, Florida. Captain Ryan's favorite time of the year is "Tarpon Season" (April – July) in Boca Grande, Florida when his steadily growing charter business is in full swing.

Over the years Captain Ryan and his teammates have consistently achieved top 10 and better finishes in various inshore tournaments. For the past five years Captain Ryan has been a member of teams participating in the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series in Boca Grande Florida. For the 2009 season Captain Ryan's team with Captain Doug Creek, placed 3rd for weeks 2 and 4 of the PTTS. The team also made tournament history for earning the most points in one week of the 5 week series.

Captain Ryan also enjoys participating in fund raising fishing tournaments as well as donating fishing trips and tackle to local and national charitable organizations each year.

Continued successful tournament results, satisfied sponsors and happy clients are future goals for Captain Ryan.
