About Your Trip

This trip is for big trout and giant red fish, I mainly target trout in the summer months catching 20-60 trout a trip from 4 to 15 pounds, 100% some of the biggest trout you will come by. We will fish in a foot too about 2 ft of water. Also I target the big reds for a fun fight and a nice picture! Mosquito lagoon is like fishing in the middle of no where with great scenery and great fishing!

I only have one boat rule, and it’s that you guys use the sunscreen I provide, which is Neutrogena zinc based SPF 50. I have plenty on the boat ready to go. Other types, including other zinc types, but especially spray types and chemical based types, cause damage to my boats gel coat and upholstery, leaving orange stains that can be permanent. The zinc type I provide is hypoallergenic, works much better than other types of sunscreen, contains no chemicals implicated in potentially causing cancer, and is non toxic to marine life. This is a strict rule so please do not bring or apply other sunscreen ahead of time.

Captain Colt just loves being out on the water and catching a bunch of fish. Born and raised in Daytona Beach and has been fishing since birth! I am very familiar with the waters from ponce inlet all the way down to the Florida Keys. I love to spearfish and free dive and hunt. I have won several Redfish tournaments and Trout tournaments! As a college student, this is definitely a great job! Join me...

Captain Colt just loves being out on the water and catching a bunch of fish. Born and raised in Daytona Beach and has been fishing since birth! I am very familiar with the waters from ponce inlet all the way down to the Florida Keys. I love to spearfish and free dive and hunt. I have won several Redfish tournaments and Trout tournaments! As a college student, this is definitely a great job! Join me aboard and have a memorable time fishing in Florida! From Ponce Inlet to Mosquito Lagoon, I welcome you to get aboard and go inshore fishing! Also I am open to offering duck hunting guided trips, where we target Teal and divers, every now and then well get a push of puddle ducks. I love to deer and hog hunt too.

You’ll be fishing on a 21-foot Yellow fin hybrid boat, which can hold up to four fishermen. It’s propelled by a 200 Yamaha capable of reaching speeds of over 50 knots. It comes equipped with a reliable GPS and fish finder, allowing you to quickly locate your catch and devote more time to pure angling. I have a Mosquito Lagoon guide permit also, which allows me to run charter's in the lagoon for world class trout and red fishing which i am very good at, if you'd like a chance at a 7-14 pound trout, I'm the man you wanna go with.

Capt. Colt takes care of your fishing license, rods, reels, and tackle, as well as live bait, there is also a special bait that may cost a bit extra but is one of the best live baits to use. On board, you’ll find a live bait well as well as an icebox where you may properly keep your catch. He’ll clean and fillet your fish for you at the end of the expedition. You’ll be using, live bait fishing, and jigging with light or heavy tackle. Whether you’re a first-time angler, a novice angler, a seasoned angler, or a family with children, you have a range of trips to select from. Snook, Redfish, Black Drum, and Trout abound in these waters. Also abundant are flounder and tarpon, so polish your reels!
