Captain Neal was born eight miles from Oak Hill, in a three story building that served for a hospital at the time.
His family has a rich heritage; settling in the area in the 1800's and remaining here to work the land and the sea. Throughout the years they worked in orange groves and on the river catching fish, and eventually opening a wholesale/retail seafood market that operated internationally.

Captain Neal has been operating a boat since he was nine years old. Since that time, he's never wanted anything more than to work on the river. In the years since, he's learned every nook and cranny of the area and knows the habitat and feeding habits of every species of fish in the area. Book a trip with him to see what fishing here is all about!

My 9 year old son and I had a wonderful time. Captain Neal was friendly and informative. We caught trout, sailcat, and hooked and saw a tarpon but it broke the line about 10-15 feet from the boat. It was amazing. We are returning to Florida in December and we will be booking with Captain Neal again.

Captain Neal is a very knowledgeable Captain, very laid back and a great teacher. It was a slow bite at the beginning of our trip but Captain Neal put us on the fish. We caught many Trout, brought in 4 keepers, a ladyfish, several Kack "
Crevalle, and the shark pictured. Great time. Plan on booking again when I am in town.

Captain Neal was an excellent guide and fisherman. We were on fish in the first thirty minutes and caught over 2 dozen fish. We absolutely recommend using his service and can’t wait to go back out with him again!

We loved our trip with Captain Neal! Him and his family have so much interesting history with the town and river.
You can tell he’s a very experienced fisherman through his knowledge of the best fishing spots and the species. He’s friendly and has a great sense of humor. We caught a lot of black drum and red drum along with snook and spotted trout.
It was a great time even in the off season. Highly...
