About Your Trip

This is a great trip for children and beginner anglers, or for guests who just want to take a leisurely ride on the water and try their hand at catching a fish for the first time!

Captain Neal is great with children, knowledgeable about the river and different species of fish and can give you a history of the area while your ride. You can catch and release or take your catch home for dinner—it's entirely up to you! You'll be chasing classic Florida inshore species, including Black Drum, Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, and many more.

If you're just out for the ride, you're sure to see marine life, including dolphins, manatees, and a variety of birds including bald eagles, plus the occasional alligator.

About Your Guide

Captain Neal

Independent Guide 41 yrs of exp.

Captain Neal was born eight miles from Oak Hill, in a three story building that served for a hospital at the time.
His family has a rich heritage; settling in the area in the 1800's and remaining here to work the land and the sea. Throughout the years they worked in orange groves and on the river catching fish, and eventually opening a wholesale/retail seafood market that operated internationally.

Captain Neal has been operating a boat since he was nine years old. Since that time, he's never wanted anything more than to work on the river. In the years since, he's learned every nook and cranny of the area and knows the habitat and feeding habits of every species of fish in the area. Book a trip with him to see what fishing here is all about!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
