Great trip
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!

6 Hour Trip - Tarpon
Full day tarpon trip.
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.

Fishing with Scott
I went out on a 1/2 day charter with Capt. Scott for red fish & snook. Unfortunately we caught neither. It's not as if Capt. Scott didn't try, the fish just weren't there. It could have been the full moon. He tried an extra 2 hrs. but it just wasn't happening. We did catch other fish, just not snook, or red fish.
