Captain Cody is the real deal—a born-and-raised Florida outdoorsman who brings serious skill, passion, and personality to every trip he runs out of Tampa Bay. With 20+ years of experience fishing these waters and a background shaped by some of Florida’s finest guides, Cody knows every nook, channel, and flat like the back of his hand. Whether you're casting lines inshore, chasing ducks at first light, or suiting up to spearfish a Gulf monster, Captain Cody has you covered.

Before becoming a full-time guide, Cody spent five years as a professional pitcher in the Milwaukee Brewers organization after playing college ball at NC State. But make no mistake—fishing was always his first love. Now retired from baseball, he’s all in on sharing his passion for Florida’s wild side, offering custom trips for anglers and hunters of all backgrounds and skill levels.

Cody’s trips are equal parts adrenaline and appreciation—he’s just as serious about conservation and stewardship as he is about helping you hook the fish of a lifetime. Whether you're here to learn, laugh, or land a trophy, Captain Cody’s...

Fantastic Trip. Captain Cody Cool as can be and knows his craft. Hit great spots, taught us how to hook up, chained baits and lost hooks super fast for six anglers. Impressed and will sign up again with him for the next trip.
