Marty Simmoms
Martin Simmons has been a professional fisherman for over 10 years. His talent and skill for redfish go back to when he was a 14-year-old kid in St Augustine, FL. It was at this same time and place that he discovered his passion for tournament fishing, in local and surrounding area’s for various species, such as trout, sheepshead, flounder and redfish. A true ambassador to the sport, Marty is known on tour for his positive attitude and easy going personality. He travels all over the southeastern United States, competing in redfish tournaments. Marty has earned over two dozen “Top Ten” finishes, taking home five “First Place” honors. His latest career highlight came in early August of 2016, when he and his partner placed 10th in Louisiana. Marty’s main sponsor is Sunset Grille Restaurant (Sunset Grille Pro Redfish Team), but is also sponsored by numerous other well-known companies, including: Mercury Marine, Motor guide, Beavertail Skiffs, Hells Bay Boat works, Boat US, T Allen Rods, Ward Media Group, Ocean wave Sunglasses, Saltwater Assassins, Trokar, Raymarine, Powerpole Shallow Anchor, Tibbs tees, Salty Crew, Fish bites, S&A Leisure’s, and ATM Solution. Originally from New York, Marty has loved fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod and reel. He now lives in St. Augustine, FL with his wife Gloria and their three children.
