I’m Captain Nate and I’m the owner and guide. I’ve spent countless hours chasing fish along Florida’s Gulf Coast and I specialize in guiding the incredibly diverse fisheries of Sarasota, Venice, Englewood and south to Charlotte Harbor. Whether we’re probing the mangroves for snook, stalking the crystal clear flats of Sarasota or sight fishing to rolling tarpon, I bring a deep knowledge of the local fishery and a laid-back, passionate but low pressure approach to every trip. I welcome anglers of all skill levels – from first-time fly fishers to seasoned casters – and I tailor each charter to meet your goals, experience level, and the conditions that day. My job is to put you on fish, keep it fun, and help you get better with every cast.
