I'm Cap.t Scott Pierce, and I’ve been in love with fishing for the past 30 years. It was that passion that fueled my desire to become a guide. I love fishing so much that I decided to share it with all my friends, family, and customers. I've been married for 24 years and have 3 children, ages 23, 21, and 13. My passion is to catch Trout, Redfish, and Flounder. My entire family loves the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. God has blessed me with the knowledge and the tools to be a great angler, and it's a blessing to be able to share this with others.
