Captain Duke Davis grew up in Lake Guntersville, Alabama where he was taught
to hunt and fish at an early age. He spent most of his time growing up in
the woods or on the lake catching fish. After graduating high school, he
enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. where he spent 23 years serving
in the infantry as a Scout Sniper.
After retiring from the Marine Corps, he served as the national programs
director for a nonprofit that enabled him to teach veterans from coast to
coast how to use fly fishing as a form of therapy.
His attention to detail from being a Scout Sniper fuels his passion of
stalking fish inshore, on the flats, and deep into the backcountry. His
charter business is based in Pensacola, Florida and his primary fishing
grounds are the flats and marshes of the Escambia and Pensacola Bays. He
won’t be hard to miss as he will be poling his Beavertail Mosquito in some
of the skinniest water around.
Captain Duke is married to his best friend Kara who is his biggest
supporter. He is an avid fly tyer and custom fly rod builder.
He and his wife founded a nonprofit called Restoration, Inc. which focuses
on helping veteran couples rediscover their relationship while taking them
on adventures in the great outdoors.
He is proud to be associated with the Marine Corps Scout Sniper Association,
Temple Forks Outfitters, Nor-Vise fly tying systems, Fly Men Outfitters,
Brook fishing equipment and Beavertail Skiffs.
