Michael Belcher

Independent Guide
Instructional
Comfortable
Licensed Master >100 Ton Captains License with over 40 years experience in Florida waters. We always catch fish and I'll gladly fillet them up and give to you in a plastic bag. My motto is "Can do". My goal is to " help you catch fish like the locals do".

Setting off from Ponce Inlet, I love sweeping the surrounding nearshore and inshore areas. Reel in delicious Snapper and Flounder from the bottom, jig for the area’s renowned Redfish, Bluefish, and Whiting, or cast for some Seatrout or Black Drum. Capt. Michael prefers live shrimp, cut shrimp or mullet to any artificial lures. I will do everything he can to make your trip bountiful.

I run a 22’ Skeeter boat that is powered by a Yamaha 200 HP 4-stroke engine and is large enough to comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. It is equipped with a poling platform, two baitwells, Power-Pole anchor, holders for trolling rods, two casting seats, a flat casting deck, and an assortment of navigational/fish finding electronics. Shimano spinning rods are the weapon of choice.

Fishing licenses are provided by the Captain for everyone onboard for your convenience, along with full insurance. As far as your catch goes, you get to keep whatever you reel in (as long as it falls within the fishing regulations) and bring it home for dinner, neatly filleted and wrapped. Tipping is extra.

Captain Michael was wonderful. Treated my boys great and taught them a lot. Very easy to get along with. The fish weren't cooperating very well, but it was very hot and in the afternoon. All in all a wonderful day on the water.

I took my two Sons, (13 ) and (15) out for some In Shore Fishing and we had a fantastic time. Fishing was good, spots we went to were great. Capt. Mike was very attentive and helpful. We caught a lot of Fish and could not have been more thankful for our Capt. choice. Thanks again MIke!
