Each trip takes you through some of the most productive Everglades fishing locations, including Flamingo, Chokoloskee Island, Holiday Park, and Alligator Alley, as well as the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal. These waters hold prized species such as snook, tarpon, redfish, jack crevalle, sea trout, largemouth bass, and peacock bass. Whether you're sight-casting along the mangroves or stalking fish on the flats, each trip is designed for optimal success.

Your fishing experience is enhanced by our vessel, the Maverick Mirage 17 HPX-S, often called the "super skinny water tool." This shallow draft skiff floats in less than 6 inches of water, allowing precise poling through the intricate waterways of the Everglades. The setup ensures a smooth ride, dry storage, and a technical poling skiff that gets you close to the action. With a quiet and stealthy approach, making every cast count.

Captain Steve’s passion for light tackle fishing is evident in his approach. He specializes in targeting snook fishing, tarpon fishing, and redfish fishing with artificial lures, live bait, or fly tackle. With a strong focus on casting along mangroves and grassy flats, anglers can expect an exciting challenge without needing to head offshore. His deep knowledge of fish behavior, seasonal patterns, and tidal movements ensures that each trip is productive. Whether you're looking to land your first inshore slam or hone your sight-fishing skills, Captain Steve tailors every trip to match your fishing style.

Whether you're an experienced angler or new to the sport, Captain Steve ensures every charter is tailored to your preferences.
