Born in Illinois in 1955, Dave Denkert had a big life ahead of him in fishing. Two years later, after his family moved to Miami, they found themselves located on the doorstep of some of the greatest fishing on earth. Soft spoken and kind, he eventually found his calling in the backcountry of Florida Bay. His expertise was exposed with his tournament success, highlighted with numerous wins in the Redbone series and a Spring Fly Bonefish invitational. His family too, dove head first into the sport he loved. His wife, Linda, and daughter, Brooke, also found themselves not only passionate, but successful in the tournament fray. On todays podcast, Dave gets into the details of how his genius was refined, and he doesn’t hold back. When I asked him how he’d like to be known, he said “I like to teach!” With mentors like Chico Fernandez and Stu Apte, he learned well and is respected by all! We hope you enjoy... Thanks so much for coming on, Dave!
