     Our Captains will do everything they can to give you a fun, memorable, successful day on the water. They will be courteous and professional. We will also give you the best equipment you will need to go to battle with the fish we are after. We are here to take you fishing, not go fishing ourselves. Many guides want to fish as much as you do and that doesn't work. A good professional guide knows that if he is fishing, he is not paying attention to what is going on around him. More often than not, this can result in fewer fish being caught by you. Sometimes the boat needs to be quietly moved just a few yards to get back on the fish and if your guide is fishing he may not realize that the quality fish have even moved.
We will bait your hook for you, unhook the fish you catch, even get you a drink if you are thirsty. The key is to keep you fishing because you never know when that trophy fish is going to hit your bait.
We will have a clean well maintained boat, not a skiff or a boat that is going to get you wet or beat you up. The more comfortable you are, the more fish you will catch.
     Call or email today to book your fishing trip of a life time. If you call and get an answering machine, please leave a message and someone will get back with you within the day. Remember, we are all captains here at Florida Sport Fishing Outfitters and may be on the water when you call. We do not answer phones while on a charter. We are busy catching fish so when it is your turn to go fishing you don't have to worry about your captain being on the phone while you are out there.
