About Your Trip

If you've ever wanted to chase big Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Trout in one of Florida's most idyllic fishing locations, this trip with Captain Scott might be for you! He knows these local waters like the back of his hand, and spends every possible moment on the water observing fish patterns which takes the guessing out of your fishing trip.

You'll be going after a range of inshore species with a few different techniques, including light tackle fishing, sightcasting, and bottomfishing for Flounder and Groupers. The fish you'll see on this trip are a blast to catch, and some are great table fare as well! Whether you've caught one fish or one thousand, Captain Scott has some great advice that will improve your skills and help you bag a new personal best!

On the day of the trip, you’ll step aboard his beautiful 25' Chris-Craft center console—a perfect boat for these waters. She’s powered by a 250-HP Yamaha, so you’ll spend less time cruising and more time fishing! Captain Scott will provide you with top-of-the-line rods and reels, plus tackle, artificial lures, safety gear, a cooler with ice, and even live bait! Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen, food and drinks, and water. You do not need a Florida Fishing License—your Captain provides it.

Captain Scott was great. He was very patient and encouraging with our kids as they learned the details of near shore fishing. Very hard worker.
We ended up catching 50 fish!! Everyone had a great time.
