About Alden Sheils
Alden began his fishing career at just 13 years old, working as a
fishing mate in the Florida Keys. By the age of 15, he expanded
his expertise to the waters of St. Augustine, exploring the
backwaters independently and gaining experience on local boats.
After graduating high school, Alden earned his captain’s license,
becoming the youngest in his class to do so. Since then, he has
been running his own charters while continuing to work with
seasoned local captains to refine his skills and grow as a
professional. For Alden, fishing is about more than just catching
fish—it’s about connecting with nature, being present, and
sharing meaningful experiences with others.
