Capt. Tucker Carlson brings six years of professional fishing experience with Two Conchs to the waters of South Florida and the Florida Keys. A third-generation Florida Keys guide, Tucker follows his father, Capt. Jack Carlson Sr., a second-generation Keys guide, and his grandfather, who began fishing in the Keys in 1973.
Tucker’s favorite pursuits include kite fishing for sailfish and heading offshore for slammer mahi-mahi and big blackfin tuna. A seasoned tournament competitor, he fishes events throughout South Florida and the Florida Keys.
His experience extends well beyond the tournament circuit. Tucker targets swordfish offshore, grouper and mutton snapper on the reefs and wrecks, and giant Warsaw grouper in the distant Gulf. He also pursues cobia, permit, red snapper, and a variety of other Gulf species.
Tucker runs a Valero Energy sponsored 38-foot Freeman powered by four Mercury 300-horsepower V8 outboards, with Furuno electronics and a Rockford Fosgate sound system. He also cohosts Two Conchs Adventures with his father and brothers on Sportsman Channel and World Fishing Network.
Away from the fishing action, Tucker is always ready to talk sports. He is also an avid golfer who enjoys the chance to trade time on the water for a round on the course.
