AROUND HIS LOVE FOR THE OCEAN. RUSTY GREW UP FISHING ON THE LOCAL SPORT BOATS,
QUICKLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE FREELANCE OUT OF DAVEY’S LOCKER. MENTORED BY
THE INDUSTRY’S FINEST CAPTAINS, RUSTY GAINED INVALUABLE KNOWLEDGE AS A DECKHAND

TAKING OVER THE OPERATION SHORTLY THEREAFTER. SINCE THEN, RUSTY HAS CREATED AN
IMPRESSIVE REPUTATION AMONGST HIS PEERS AND PASSENGERS FOR HIS EXPERIENCE,

TRAVERSES THE WATERS LIKE ONLY A LOCAL CAN. STARTING OUT ON THE WESTERN PRIDE AT

CAPTAIN’S LICENSE AT AGE 21. MICHAEL HAS NOW BEEN OPERATING THE WESTERN PRIDE AS

TIRELESSLY TO LEARN NOT ONLY THE COASTLINE, BUT BOTH LOCAL ISLANDS AND THE FULL
OFFSHORE SCENE. HE HAS ALSO SPENT A VAST MAJORITY OF DAYS WORKING ON YACHTS FROM
NEWPORT BEACH TO SAN DIEGO. HIS FOCUS IS NOT ONLY ON CATCHING THE BIGGEST FISH
(ALTHOUGH THAT’S ALWAYS A PLUS!), BUT CREATING A FISHING EXPERIENCE THAT BOASTS
OF HIS STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO PROPER HANDLING, EARNEST SCOUTING, AND TIRELESS
EFFORT. AS A DEVOTED HUSBAND AND FATHER TO TWO YOUNG SONS, MICHAEL RECOGNIZES
THE INTRINSIC VALUE OF PASSING ON A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE OCEAN TO THE NEXT
