My name is Loren, and fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine. Originally from Maine, I spent years fishing the lakes, rivers, and coastline of New England before relocating to Southwest Florida in 2021. Since making Florida my home, I have dedicated countless hours to learning the area's beaches, tides, seasonal fish patterns, and unique coastal ecosystem. As an avid beach angler, I have developed a deep appreciation for the challenge and excitement that comes with fishing directly from the shoreline. From targeting pompano in the surf to chasing snook, redfish, sea trout, and other inshore species, I enjoy sharing the knowledge and techniques that make beach fishing such a rewarding experience. When I'm not on the beach, I work as a telecommunications lineman and enjoy spending time with my wife of over 10 years and our four children. Family is at the heart of everything I do, which is why I built Southwest Florida Beach Fishing Adventures to be a welcoming experience for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're introducing your child to fishing for the first time or you're an experienced angler looking to learn more about the local waters, my goal is to create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for every guest. What started as a personal passion for fishing has grown into a desire to help others experience the beauty of Southwest Florida's beaches, wildlife, and incredible fisheries. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a guest catch their first fish or land a personal best.

    Great experience

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing • 2 adults

    We caught the sunset on the beach while fishing with friends what more can you ask for. Our guide was very knowledgeable and never made us feel embarrassed for asking questions. Before we fished the surf all week never caught one pompano within 30 mins of our trip with Loren we had what we came for. I’ve met alot of charter captains and guides over the years and Loren was nice and had grace for us. My first cast the bail tripped and i lost the bait rigging he just put on he just smiled and said thats ok bro it happens and got me another pole in the water while he fixed my mess lol

    Reported catch:

    Great time

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing • 2 adults

    We caught 10 fish several different breeds and types. The captain was very knowledgeable and helpful the entire time we were there; we stayed out fishing until it was completely dark to give us as much time as we could to fish and catch more. The captain even adjusted the time to give us better chances of catching more based on the tide and weather. I would gladly schedule another trip with him

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Pompano

    Can’t go wrong! What an amazing night!

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing • 5 adults • 2 children

    Our family of five loved every minute of our sunset fishing experience! It was our kid’s (14, 5, and 2) first time fishing. Getting to watch them reel in our catch was a blast. Our guide made it enjoyable for everyone, taught the kids everything they needed to know like how to bait the hooks, cast, and reel in. He made sure we caught some fish. Everything you need is included so no buying or lugging equiptment. He was so nice and fun as well! We’re so glad we booked this trip! Great for families of all ages and all skill levels.

    Reported catch:
    Southern Kingfish

    one of the best experiences we have had

    2.5 HR Sunset Guided Beach Fishing • 7 adults • 1 child

    very knowledgeable and professional, we have 5 kids from 18 down to 5 years old and he was great with all of them the guide was very good helping the kids lean how to use the equipment cast and reel. we caught a good number of fish. he made the trip an experience of a lifetime we will definitely give him a 5 star rating and recommend everyone to hire him. the best part was it didnt break the bank, it was very affordable. we fished while the sun set and got to see a gorgeous view. all in all a great service . thank you Andrew
