Larry has written several articles for local publications, including a bi-weekly column for the Fort Myers Beach Observer. A review by Judsen Culbreth, Editor-in-Chief of the nationally known magazine Working Mother, describes her fishing experience with Capt. Larry in the July / August 1996 issue:
Another action-adventure was a deep-sea fishing expedition with Captain Larry, the most patient hookbaiter you could ever hope to find. We hopped aboard his vessel right from Santa Maria's pier and headed out in the dolphin-filled Gulf of Mexico waters. I guess it's hard not to find fish with all the equipment boats have these days, but we were still thrilled with our abundant catch.
Captain Larry offers Offshore Fishing and Diving, Backcountry Fishing and Specialty Charters at Fisherman's Wharf in front of the Bridge Restaurant on the south side of Fort Myers Beach, Florida.
After a great day of fishing with Captain Larry, relax at the Bridge Restaurant, located on the premises. Beautiful beaches and shops are local, and Sanibel and Captiva Islands are nearby.
