Captain
Shane Smetak

Member since April 2016 Englewood, United States
Background
I am an avid fisherman and very passionate about it, any days that I am not booked I’m fishing! I am very big into conservation. Come experience my passion for fishing and what Florida has to offer!
Techniques
I am a die hard Tarpon fanatic! I target giant tarpon on the beach and in the back country. We will throw artificial baits and live baits for these silver kings! Snook, Redfish and trout are some other species we target year round. Fish the back country of charlotte harbor and the flats of lemon bay! I also offer fly fishing trips for Tarpon, Snook and Redfish. Night fishing is a great way to target these species on the fly rod!
