Background
Captain Scott Neel has spent most of his life on the water, both as an angler and when he was in the Navy. Fishing has always been his lifelong passion, along with surfing, which is why he decided to start running charters for a living. For him, the best part of the job is meeting new people and sharing experiences with them. Capt. Scott especially loves seeing the smiling and excited faces of anglers and kids when they catch their first fish.
