A WORD FROM CAPTAIN MIKE

I started fishing and running boats at a young age with my Dad. My passion for fishing has grown to the point where it is truly an affliction now. I eat, sleep, and breathe it. I have spent countless hours on the water learning fish patterns and how the tides, currents, and weather affect them. Our fishing here on the Nature Coast is very diverse and always changing with the seasons, and I continue to change and learn as well. You will find that I have a commitment to excellence, and work extremely hard to put you on fish. My main goal is that you really enjoy your day with me, which I hope will keep you coming back for more!

I welcome all skill levels and really enjoy helping clients catch fish. While I mainly target Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, and Flounder, you will also catch Black Drum, Permit, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, Snapper, Sheepshead, Cobia, Tarpon, Sharks, Jacks, and more. We have such a diverse fishery here... It is truly God's Country!

I am looking forward to having you on the water with me soon!!!
