Captain David Mangum has spent the better part of his life navigating Florida’s coastline and waters. He’s been fishing since he was little but found his passion in fly fishing, pursuing a guiding career that brings him out to the water almost every day, from the Florida Panhandle and throughout the Gulf Coast.
When considering his work, Mangum said, “The wheels in my head are always turning, thinking about the fish, the where, when, and most importantly, why. Sometimes those analytics can be torturous, a voice that never shuts up or turns off. But that’s the same process that drives exploration.”
Creating a rapport between guide and client is a crucial part in developing long standing guide/client relationships, which leads to David’s ultimate goal…creating friendships. His Shallow Water Expeditions is a guide service that provides this type of professional service to anglers from the novice level, to the most seasoned fly anglers.
His dedication to the craft of interpersonal relationships along with a lifetime of angling knowledge has made him one of the most sought-after tarpon fishing guides in the country. When not poling his skiff, David is at home in Santa Rosa Beach, raising his family.
