6 hr charter with Captain Scott
on September 6, 2025
We had such an amazing fishing trip with Captain Scott this past weekend! 🎣 He knew all the best spots and kept the trip fun and relaxed. We caught plenty of fish, including snook, redfish, and trout. Highly recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a great time on the water and a captain who truly knows his stuff!

Excellent afternoon trip with Scott, lots of fish and he had taken us to numerous great locations to find them. We were also lucky to witness an array of other wildlife such as manatee, some pods of mating dolphins, feeding ospreys and pelicans, and a multitude of others. Wonderful trip, thanks Scott 👍
