George Poveromo: A Trailblazer in Saltwater Fishing
George Poveromo, producer and host of "George Poveromo's World of Saltwater Fishing" on Discovery, has been a leading figure in saltwater fishing for decades. His show, on air for 25 years, teaches viewers to catch a variety of game fish, from exotic species like blue marlin to regional favorites such as mahi and tuna.
George’s deep knowledge comes from a lifelong passion for fishing, reflected in his feature articles for Salt Water Sportsman and his role in the Salt Water Sportsman National Seminar Series, which has educated hundreds of thousands of anglers. When not working, George can be found fishing off South Florida and the Florida Keys.
The Synergy of Simrad® Yachting and Poveromo: Precision Meets Innovation
Simrad® advanced marine electronics help enhance George Poveromo’s fishing adventures. His TV show highlights how tools like the Simrad® NSO® EVO3S MFD and HALO® 3000 Open Array Radar play a crucial role.
The radar’s Bird+ Mode helps detect flocks of birds, indicating fish activity, while the MFD and sonar systems provide real-time data for pinpointing productive spots and navigating complex channels. This technology supports George in refining his fishing strategies and achieving more successful trips.

Personal Fishing Tips and Tricks
“Advance preparation is the key to a successful day on the water. Know where the best water conditions exist before you set forth, and have all tackle and baits rigged the day prior. Your job when you clear an inlet is to locate and catch fish, not get distracted by rigging tackle and baits on the way out.” – George Poveromo
Appreciation of Simrad® Gear
“Simrad® marine electronics is for serious anglers who refuse to compromise. The equipment is user-friendly and ultra-sharp, perfect for reading bottom types and marking bait and game fish. Bird+ Mode on the Simrad HALO® Open Array Radar helps locate birds, indicating mahi, tuna, and billfish.” – George Poveromo
