Tight Line Fishin’ Charters
Don’t miss out on a chance to join Tight Line Fishin’ Charters for a day! Capt. Scout is 8th generation from the island of Chokoloskee and fishing is like second nature to him. He knows the waters like the back of his hand and would love to share his knowledge of the 10,000 Islands and backcountry waters with you.
Spend the day on a 22’ Blue-wave powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. The boat is equipped with three livewells, GPS, a fishfinder, a power pole, and a spot lock trolling motor. There is also plenty of storage for personal belongings. There’s enough room for 4 guests to fish in comfort, so bring your friends and family.
Inshore, nearshore, and backcountry are where fishing will take place. You’ll be targeting Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Trout, Permit, Cobia, Snapper, and many more. Different techniques will apply for each fish, from bottom fishing to popping corks to throwing artificial and live bait. After the trip, Capt. Scout will clean the fish and bag it up if you choose to keep the fish.
Supplied on the trip are bottled water, fishing rods and reels, tackle, bait, and all the other fishing supplies needed. Also, USCG life jackets, children 6 and under are required to wear a life jacket for comfort. The captain recommends bringing your own jacket for the child, food and snack, any other drink, and sunblock.
Book now with Tight Line Fishing’ charters for an awesome day on the water and many good memories. The goal is to keep the lines tight all day!

Scout was great with kids
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 21, 2024
My wife and I had our kids,5 &7. Scout made sure we caught plenty of fish and was nice to all the kids who talked constantly. We just ate a bunch of fried sheephead tacos that the kids loved. Even caught a couple sea trout and snapper. Would have loved a Marlin but he said the drop off is too far out for a 4 hour trip.

Full Day with Scout Morris
Full Day Trip on March 7, 2023
My Dad and I went out with Scout for a full day today and killed it! We were on fish from the very start and caught: tarpon, snook, Goliaths, snapper, jacks, trout and even a catfish. Fish were biting all day long. Scout is a great guide and quickly moves to a new/better spot when the fish aren't biting. He was spot-on the entire day and great to shoot the sh*t with. Chokoloskee a truly special fishery and I couldn't recommend this place and his services more. We shall be back.

Half Day trip with Scout.

Best choice we made while staying at Marco Island was to book with Tightline Fishing. Scout was knowledgeable about fishing and didn’t give up until he found plenty of fish for us to catch. Reds, Mangrove Snapper, Grouper, and even a few sharks! He was able to take us offshore 10 miles where we were pulling fish after fish into the boat. I highly recommend you select Scout for your fishing trip while here. Bonus was he really knows the history of the area and is an 8th generation fishing guide. We will definitely return. Thanks for a great experience.
