Hello, I'm Captain Q. 

I've been fishing in the Everglades for 8 years now, every chance I get I'm out in the glades exploring. The environment is gorgeous and seems never ending. 

I specialize in shallow water sight fishing, more often fly fishing but conventional gear is good also. For me sight fishing is the name of the game, more comparable to hunting but for fish. 

Been guiding for a few years now and I've fallen in love with sharing my passion with others while trying my hardest to provide an angling thrill to each customer. 

Many of my customers have become great friends, spending time with someone in such a quite and peaceful place is truly special, you get to know people very quickly.

Depending on time of year and conditions we will target Snook, Redfish, Black Drum,  Sea Trout, and Tarpon mainly. 

Would love to show you around my favorite place in the whole world and share my passion. Thanks!

    8 Hour – Chokoloskee Sight Fishing on April 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I did a full-day backcountry trip with Quinton out of Everglades City. Quinton knows the area extremely well and consistently put us on fish throughout the day. We caught snook and juvenile tarpon, and he also gave us several shots at large tarpon laid up on the mud flats. Overall, it was a great trip with top-notch equipment, a knowledgeable guide, and plenty of action. I would definitely book with him again.
