About Your Guide

Captain Scott

Independent Guide 8 yrs of exp.

Captain Scott is committed to freeing you of the everyday grind and sharing with you what these waters mean to him. He is not only is a devoted steward of our natural resources, but a big proponent for future angler development. He wants to educate people on the proper ways to bring kids fishing, keeping them engaged in the sport, and emphasize fishing etiquette while practicing sustainability. To Scott, being out on the water sharing his passion and educating others is exactly where he wants to be. He recently has been commended for his selfless devotion to the special operations community for creating a 501C3 (non profit) called Valiant Traditions. Its main goal is to find wounded warriors and gold star family members, and take them on fully funded guided fishing trips. Through hunting and fishing, he hopes to spiritually and mentally heal our service members that have sacrificed life and limb for our country. At the end of the day, he believes that if we secure the future of our outdoors through the young anglers of today, they will go forth into the future and be the proper custodians our fisheries need. Captain Scott is an active duty service member in our Nation's armed forces, and thus only runs trips on the weekends.

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!
