With his extensive knowledge of local waters, Pete provided me with an excellent opportunity to fish the creeks and backwaters not usually explored by other local guides. Pete knew where and when to go and how to approach the snook once we spotted them. He kept a nicely balanced competive/laid back attitude and, unlike some guides, offered constructive instruction in cases where he put me onto fish and I didnโt deliver with accurate and timely casts. I learned more in one day with Pete than from months of fishing on my own. I highly recommend fishing with Pete.

Had a blast with Capt. Pete! This guy is very knowledgeable and knows how to put people on that trophy fish! We caught 2 Baby tarpon and jumped another. On top of that we had 3 bigger tarpon bite and actually hooked into one and fought it for a good amount of time and the line spooled out after a HUGE run! Other than that he put us on snook and had a blast catching those bad boys! If you want to get put on that fish on a life time give this guy a call!
After 40 plus years in the guide biz in the north east, I found a guide that fishes with the same desire to guide his clients on fish as I did but, with the same enthusiasm as the first time you came tight on a giant snook or tarpon on a fly you tied the night before your trip! Great knowledge of the local waters. Give him a call when you want to work for some guality fish! Capt. Al Zlata (ret)
Had a great time and experience with Capt Pete! The next time I come down to the Ft Myers area Iโll be sure to book another trip.
Pete works hard to make sure you have fun.ย He knows lots of spots and moves around until he finds a productive spot.
