Captain Drew is a full time Mosquito Lagoon flats fishing guide offering light tackle saltwater fishing charters near Orlando. I also offer nearshore light tackle reef-wreck charters, tarpon, snook and cobia fishing charters along with sight fishing the flats on the Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River, Port Canaveral, Ponce Inlet and Sebastian Inlet. We do both saltwater spin fishing and saltwater fly fishing for redfish, tarpon, cobia, snapper, big jacks, shark, triple tail, snook, seatrout and black drum.

Snook, seatrout, bull redfish, drum, sheephead, pompano, triple tail, jacks, shark, cobia and flounder are year round! Peak tarpon season is from May thru November and the tarpon range from 10 pounds to over well 150 pounds. This is the closest light tackle flats fishing charter located east of Orlando, Kissimmee & Disney. Also offering dolphin and manatee sight seeing tours.
