Skylar is an exceptional fishing guide—the complete package. His knowledge of the water and techniques is top-notch, but what really sets him apart is how he combines that expertise with genuine enthusiasm and excellent teaching. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why, teaching us techniques we'll use for years to come. We caught some nice fish, but honestly, Skylar's personality and passion for the sport made the whole experience memorable regardless of what was biting. If you're looking for a guide who's skilled, personable, and ensures you have a great time while learning, book with Skylar. We'll definitely be back.

CPT Skylar Hamilton did and outstanding job with this family of four! He was very professional from the start. He had a great boat with an awesome attitude. He was super great with our kids... Four hours later and close to 30 fish... it was great day!! Thank you, Skylar!
You have a wonderful family!! Thank you for letting me spend the morning with you guys! Please come back anytime!
Not only did Skylar put us ON THE FISH, he kept us dry around sudden storms, and had all the patience in the world with our rookie fisherwoman. Mom, Dad, and Big Brother caught all they wanted all day too. Incredible day with an incredible guide. Will be back again for sure.
Mark, your family is awesome. You have both done a wonderful job with your children. Thanks for the enjoyable day. Hope to have you back soon!
Captain Skyler couldn’t have provided a better experience. He supplied all gear, bait, drinks and snacks we could have wanted. He put us on the fish and was great to spend the day with on the water. Would absolutely reccomend his guide service. 5 stars
