Background
Born and raised in NW Ohio, Captain Nick Purdue has been an avid fisherman since he was a young boy. Growing up on the shores of Lake Erie, he spent countless hours honing his fishing skills catching walleye, small and large mouth bass, and perch. As he got older, his passion for fishing only grew stronger, and he decided to turn his love of the water into a career. Captain Nick moved to Florida to explore new waters and new fishing opportunities 10 years ago. He quickly fell in love with the warm weather, crystal clear waters, and abundance of fish that Florida has to offer. Captain Nick now spends his days guiding fishing and boating expeditions in the Gulf of Mexico, sharing his wealth of knowledge and expertise with boaters of all skill levels. He specializes in targeting a variety of species, including snapper, grouper, kingfish, and more. He also can explore secluded beaches, or take clients on exciting trips to nearby islands and reefs. Whether you're looking to explore new waters, learn new skills, or simply soak up the sun and relax on the water, Captain Nick is the perfect guide to help you make the most of your time on the water.
