    Awesome day w/ Captain Scotty

    4 Hour Trip – Backcountry on May 31, 2024Β β€’Β 3 adultsΒ β€’Β 2 children

    My kids (11 & 12) and I spent the last Friday in May with Captain Scotty at Port Charlotte. Rods were in the water for less than a minute and both kiddos got their first catch, at the same time! I lost track of how many snook, trout, snapper, catfish, and gofftopsail they caught. Captain Scotty is the expert, setting us up for success at each of his sweet spots and providing a wealth of knowledge and training all morning. My daughter loved how encouraging Captain Scotty was. What a wonderful experience to share with family or friends! See ya soon Captain.

    Great day with Captain Scotty

    4 Hour Trip – Backcountry on July 5, 2024Β β€’Β 2 adults

    My brother Barney visited from Amarillo Texas and wanted to go fishing in Charlotte Harbor. Capt Scotty did not disappoint. We caught a lot of fish including snook,Jack crevalle, catfish, lady fish, mangrove snapper, trout,redfish, and black drum. We fished the last half hour in a downpour (no lightning or thunder) and had a blast as my brother caught a big redfish during that time. Brian Barnhart, his rates are standard and we recommend him.

    Capt. Scotty was ready to welcome us aboard at the beginning time and had everything prepared to include bottled water and a great customer service. He guided us throughout the day trying to find the best fishing locations. We scheduled the six hour tour and there was never a dull moment. Thanks Capt. Scotty.

    4rr trip on harbor and canal.

    4 Hour Trip – Backcountry on April 24, 2023Β β€’Β 3 adultsΒ β€’Β 1 child

    Scotty started by giving my 10 yr old grandson a quick casting lesson. He cast the first bait out and in less than 5 seconds Sanerson caught his first sea trout! From then on it was non stop action.we fished the flats for about an hour then moved into a canal and continued catching fish. We caught 7 species in our short 4 hrs. We would definitely recommend Captain Scotty Roe Charters. He was well prepared, had great tackle and plenty of bait. Knew where to go and what to use. When we were done he still had a well full of lively bait. We could not thank him enough! I've been fishing over 60 years and can appreciate a good day of fishing. This was one of the best. Thank you so much!

    6 hour trip with Captain Scotty

    6 Hour Trip – Backcountry on May 18, 2022Β β€’Β 1 adult

    Non-stop action all day - Captain Scotty picked me up with a well full of fresh live bait and put me on fish straight away. A lot of really good sized trout gave us great sport on light tackle. We decided together to move on after catching and releasing more than 20 as well as a bonus cobia, small black tip and a bluefish. Before we knew it we were into the snook, nothing massive but one after another. We then went off in search of some bigger ones, found more small snook and also had a few jacks. Again we went looking for the big ones which weren’t playing today. We found more small ones and then to cap it all we finished the day in style with a huge redfish. Scotty was a great Captain who loves what he does, he is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and he made the day one I will never forget. The arrangements made and info regarding everything was top notch. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking for a great day on the water. I know not all days are like this but I am sure his skilful skippering was the difference between a good day and a fantastic day.

    Half day back country fishing with Capt Scotty Ror

    4 Hour Trip – Backcountry on March 9, 2022Β β€’Β 1 adult

    Excellent fisherman who grew up fishing in the Port Charlotte waters. We were successful on snook, redfish (one eight pound beauty), sea trout, lady fish (think baby tarpon), and jacks. We fished (unsuccessfully) for tarpon we could see rolling but couldn’t entice them. Great trip!! This is the second year I’ve fished with Captain Scotty and I’ll plan far enough in advance to fish with him again. He’s especially good with people who may not be experienced at fishing and makes everyone feel great about being on the water. My wife thoroughly enjoyed fishing with him. Bring the sunscreen and be ready for a great backcountry fishing experience

    6 Hr with Capt. Scotty Roe

    Charlotte Harbor Tarpon Fish on September 17, 2022Β β€’Β 2 adults

    Capt. Scotty Roe is a great guy , very knowledgeable about the area Day started catching lady fish for bait that was fun with a few laughs After we hit several spots for Tarpon with no luck due to probably the heavy rains the past few days , but we did hit a 3 ft bull shark To save the day and have some fun Capt. Scott suggested going for large drums on light tackle My brother-in-law had a blast the fish ripped drag and gave a good fight . We caught several of them turning the day around The boat has all the equipment needed and is able to maneuver the tighter areas with ease but definitely no more than a 2 person party with small coolers Would definitely recommend Capt. Scotty Roe
