About Your Trip

You’ll be fishing the shallow, calm waters of the mosquito lagoon in search of redfish, trout, black drum and snook. We will begin fishing almost immediately once you step aboard as the live well will be full of fresh live bait. You will be using all premium fishing equipment which is meticulously maintained. You’ll also be fishing from one of the best shallow water skiffs on the market, a Beavertail Vengeance. The fishing skiff is about as stable as they come so motion sickness is rarely ever an issue. Should the day be less then perfect (weather wise), the skiff rides like a dream compared to others in choppy conditions. Due to its ability to run in inches of water, we can dodge choppy conditions and fish in wind protected areas. All trips are all inclusive meaning all equipment, bait, fishing license and bottled water are included.

About Your Guide

Myles L.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide

I am a New Smyrna Beach native and have grown up fishing these waters as a kid. My father was a local commercial fishing captain since the 70’s and my older brother runs an offshore charter boat. I have participated in numerous local tournaments with several wins and top finish placements. Fishing isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle for me. I am dedicated to my work and give it my all each and every time I am on the water. As a father, I have raised my kids to love and respect the water. I am skilled with anglers of all ages and skill levels. I always strive for client satisfaction. Nothing is ever guaranteed when fishing but I guarantee you will have the most enjoyable day on the water possible!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
