Speckled Trout

Speckled trout are prized for their beautiful spotted patterns, exciting topwater strikes and delicious, flaky meat—making them a favorite catch for anglers of all ages.

Tripletail

Tripletail are one of the most unique and rewarding fish to catch—often spotted floating near crab traps or debris, their lazy appearance hides a powerful fight and incredibly tasty fillets.

THE BEST!

My son has a short attention span and can be difficult, I am not cordinated and not the best fisherman, my wife gets motion sickness but yet he entertains all our needs while still putting us on fish. I have been out multiple times with him and others but will not use anyone else anymore. I drive over an hour out of my way just to fish with him. The whole family loves him!Great captain better man!

Great Guide
Jun 2021 -
Captain Doug is wonderful and entertaining guide. He knows where the fish are. We went out on a half day charter and caught a number of fish, some of which we are going to eat. He not only knows the fishing spots, but pointed out many of the houses and who they belonged to and a little of their history. Will definitely book again next time we are in Sarasota Florida.
