About Your Guide

Melissa Fain

Outfitter
Captain Melissa loves the water. She grew up fishing, swimming, and otherwise enjoying all that the Gulf has to offer, and decided to pass that experience on to her clients! She's reeled in everything, and now runs charters from inshore to offshore; if it's on your bucket list, Captain Melissa will do everything she can to help you hook it!

She also loves the nature beauty of Florida's Big Bend area, whether it's the magnificent sunsets, dolphins jumping beside the boat, or the sea turtles that sometimes pop their heads up to check you out.

I went Tuna Fishing in Louisiana. It was Awesome!!!
If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?
Shrimp or Scallop Alfredo if you don't like fish. If you like fish some fried fish or a Tuscan fish for more of the delicate fish eaters.

Captain Melissa was vert nice, professional, and polite. She worked very hard to get us scallops, including finding most of them :-). She moved when she needed to to find us the most productive zones, for which we are very grateful. Two of my party have never scalloped before and thanks to Melissa, they are hooked. We shall return!!
