Had a great trip with Captain Scott! He was knowledgeable about fish, fishing and the area we were fishing in. He was patient with us midwestern fishermen (ages 11 to 78), kept us in fish all morning, and we brought home several meal’s worth of filets to enjoy later. I definitely recommend Captain Scott and will fish with him in the future.
hey richard thanks for the review, awesome bite we had this morning! absolutely crushed it on sheepshead, plenty to take home for more meals! hope to see you next time everyones in town, enjoy the rest of your stay on sanibel!
captain scott was great with our crew, put us on fish and helped the kids learn to bring them in ( 12, 12, 6 yr old) . we caught enough for dinner and released a lot too.

Captain Scott did an outstanding job of ensuring we had a great time on the water and that we caught fish. Taking us to less frequently traveled spots, we landed snook and huge sheepshead. Many thanks! Stacey and Jeff from Wisconsin
