I actually grew up in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, right along the Mississippi river. I grew up hunting and fishing and when I was old enough my friends and I ventured out onto the river and that's where we stayed, catfishing, bowfishing and every other kind of fishing activity in between. It was what I did every free moment I had. When I moved to Florida about just shy of 10 years ago, I started to dive into saltwater fishing, and it opened such an amazing and beautiful world to me with so much to learn! I loved the variation of species and the different methods of fishing that I had never gotten to experience growing up. I loved it so much that I studied it for years and decided that even after graduating college that being in the fishing industry is where I wanted to be. Having a boat be my office and getting to share fishing experiences with people is truly a privilege and a dream come true. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Memorable day on the water!!
Inshore - Half Day (AM) on July 14, 2026 • 5 adults
If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, Captain Zack is the guide you want! From the moment we left the dock, his knowledge and passion for fishing were obvious. He put us on fish all day, and we caught an incredible variety of species, keeping the action exciting from start to finish. One of the highlights was getting the chance to chase a tarpon for a while—what an adrenaline rush! This experience alone made the trip even more memorable. Captain Zack knew exactly where to go, shared great tips throughout the trip, and made sure everyone had an amazing time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, we can’t recommend him enough. Hands down, this was one of the best fishing trips we have ever been on. We’ll absolutely be back, and be recommending Captain Zack to everyone we know. Thanks for an incredible day on the water!

Fantastic Family Fishing!
3 Hour Tampa Bay Fishing Trip on May 11, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children
My family had a wonderful time fishing with captain Zach! Promptly on time and we where catching fish within 10 minutes. We where very happy with the professionalism as well as knowledge of the local fishing in the bay. Three kids under 10 had an exceptional experience fishing new areas and getting to take home some tasty new species! I would highly recommend captain Zach if you are looking for a great day of fun and family memories. Thank you again captain Zach for being a highlight of our trip!

Great Bday Family Fishing Trip
Half Day Trip – Offshore - 2:00 PM on August 4, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children
Captain Zack was great and really put a lot in to making sure the day was a success from the get go- adjusting timing around bad weather to ensure we had a great ride. Our kids who are 14, 8 and the 13 year old whose bday we were celebrating all had fun. The ride out along the intercostal is beautiful, the boat is clean and comfortable. All those who fished caught several fish and 3 made it home with us for some tasty fish tacos! Highly recommend. We would definitely do this again!

Great trip with Zack and Kyle!
Half Day Trip – Offshore on January 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child
We had a trip booked with Landing Zone but the weather for our scheduled day was not looking great. Captain Zack took the time to find another day that worked for us and provided great communication along the way. We had an absolutely beautiful morning on the water and caught more than we could eat. My 10 yr old daughter is now a master angler with the help of her personal assistant, first mate Kyle, catching the most and the biggest fish of the day. We would 100% book with Landing Zone again if we are ever back in the area!

Captain Zach and his mate Kyle were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great trip with five of us including an 8 year old. Multiple species of fish were seen and caught throughout the day. Great charter, great boat. The crew was highly accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Thank you again Captain Zach!!
