Captain Scott is a Florida native and has made Boca Grande, Pine Island and Charlotte Harbor his home for Fishing. He fishes the waters of Boca Grande year round to ensure that his clients have the best experience possible. He offers a wide variety of services from Backcountry, Flats fishing, Boca Grande Tarpon, Near shore wrecks and light tackle sport fishing.

Captain Scott strives to provide an exceptional experience for all anglers. He has dedicated his career to becoming an expert on finding the best fishing spots and having the best equipment to get the job done. You're sure to be in good hands when on board with him!

Captain Scott is a USCG licensed and insured OUPV Captain who stays up to date on laws and regulations. He carries more than all required safety equipment to ensure his guest are well prepared and have a safe day on the water.

A quality charter requires quality equipment; Capt. Scott Operates from a custom built 24' Proline which offers a super shallow draft to fish the flats and back country in this area. This stable platform also allows him to run up to 4 customers in comfort. She's powered by a reliable 2018 200hp Yamaha Four Stroke and equipped with Simrad electronics, a Powerpole, a Motor guide Wireless Trolling Motor, and a 60 gallon Live Bait Well to keep all baits alive for a productive day of fishing.

When you step foot onto any of Captain Scott's boats, there will always be the highest quality tackle from Daiwa and AVET Reels, including fresh braided line and the most dependable hooks on the market. This is so that you won't have to worry about equipment failure when you have your chance of landing a fish of a lifetime!
