About Us
RJ Peckens, Owner and Guide
RJ was born in Royal Oak, Michigan, but spent the early years of his life in Huntsville, Alabama. It was here that RJ first developed his passion for fishing, when he went to Lake Guntersville, Alabama on his first charter trip at the age of 10. Between that and summers in Northern Michigan, RJ continued to develop his love of fishing for trout, walleye, and bass on the inland lakes of Michigan. At the age of 12, RJ and his dad went on their first kayak fishing charter with Eric and Matt, former owners of Deep Blue Kayak Fishing. This trip led to RJ participating in the summer youth camp, as well as many repeat trips to kayak fish with Matt and Eric. In his teen years, RJ spent many hours on the lakes of Northern Michigan, fishing out of his Hobie kayak, where he has been living since 2016. Most recently, he has been a repeat participant in the West Michigan Bass League, where he and his partner have had several 1st place finishes. RJ is thrilled to be coming full-circle and returning to Boynton Beach and running Deep Blue Kayak Fishing after it played such an important role in his love of kayak fishing.
