Hi, I'm Capt. Scott Pierce. For over 30 years, fishing has been more than a hobby for me, it's been a way of life. That lifelong passion led me to become a professional fishing guide, giving me the incredible opportunity to share the thrill of the catch with fellow anglers, friends, families, and newcomers alike. I specialize in chasing some of the most exciting reef species, Snapper, Tuna, and Amberjack, and there's nothing more rewarding than helping others reel in the fish of a lifetime. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or just getting started, I'm here to make sure your trip is fun, safe, and unforgettable. I've been blessed with an amazing family, married for 24 years with three wonderful kids, and we all share a deep love for the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. Faith and family are at the heart of everything I do, and I consider it a true gift to be able to use my knowledge and experience to serve others on the water.
