INSHORE, FLATS & LIGHT TACKLE

Find your water.

Explore mangrove shorelines, shallow flats, and the backcountry with a captain who knows them.

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MAKE A MEMORY

Snook. Redfish. Trout.
And what’s biting next.

Fish the waters of Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound with light spinning tackle, live bait, or artificial lures. Scott adapts the trip to conditions and your experience.

New to fishing? Bringing the family? Scott welcomes beginners and children, and takes the time to teach the techniques behind a good day on the water.

Snook fishing

Warm months offer opportunities around shorelines and passes. Live bait and artificial lures are part of Scott’s approach.

Winter on the flats

Cooler months shift the focus toward redfish, speckled trout, and flounder in shallow water.

Your kind of trip

Choose a 4-hour, 6-hour, or 8-hour inshore trip for 1–3 anglers. Scott will confirm availability and departure details.
