I am Captain Hal, a second-generation guide specializing in Speckled Sea Trout and Redfish. As the owner, I have over 20 years of experience as a full-time inshore fishing guide. My passion for fishing the Gulf Coast waters of Florida has defined my career, and I am excited to share my expertise with you. Together, we will create an unforgettable experience during your time on the water.

I hold a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain's Credential, along with advanced certifications such as Radar Unlimited, Water Survival, Firefighting, Medical Provider, Assistance Towing, STCW, and Radio Telephone. I invite you to join me for your next fishing adventure, where you will benefit from my extensive knowledge and commitment to providing an exceptional outing.

My father was a fishing guide. I kind of fell into it.

What makes you different from other guides?

I was raised by a fishing guide. I have been taught the old-school ways and tested new things as they have come out. I think I have found an excellent compromise between the two. I have been a FULL-TIME guide for over 20 years.
