Great trip
4 hour Inshore on June 11, 20254 adults

Scott was on time and very knowledgeable about the fish and how to catch them. We were looking to catch fish to eat and he didn’t disappoint. We would recommend him to others! Thanks Scott for a great outing!

Full day tarpon trip.
6 Hour Trip - Tarpon on August 8, 20171 adult

Fishing was tough. It might of been the full moon. Capt. Scott didn't give up! We must of traveled 80 miles hitting every spot he had up his sleeve. The fish just weren't cooperating. We stayed out way over our time limit trying to put me on fish. It just wasn't in the cards. The Capt. gets a 12 in effort.

I am a third generation Floridian who has grown up fishing the Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande, Pine Island area. I have lived in Punta Gorda since a very young age and have always had a passion for fishing. I've studied the fish who call Charlotte Harbor their home (Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Sharks). I have spent countless hours on the water learning their behavior to become the best fisherman I can be.
