About

Welcome to Saltwater Mecca!

My name is Adam, and I started this website because I want to share my passion and love for the oceans, rivers, and coastal landscapes around the world.

About Saltwater Mecca - Jack Crevalle

Growing up in Florida, I’ve been surrounded by saltwater my entire life and caught my first fish at age 3.

Fast forward a few decades later, and I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world, from the Bahamas to Alaska, and many places in between.

What Can You Find Here?

When I created Saltwater Mecca, I wanted to create a resource that would help, inform, educate and encourage responsible recreation on treasured waterways around the world.

That means I post Fishing tips, how-to’s, guides, and gear reviews.

I talk about Boating and Paddling resources and share my opinion on makes, models, and types.

I may share information on exotic Locations (after all, who doesn’t dream of white sandy beaches and crystal clear water?)
