Had an opportunity to get on the water with Nate today, what an amazing time. We hit the backcountry and immediately found the tarpon. I struggled a bit with my casting, but Nate was quick to point out the saltwater ways of fly fishing. We had an infinite number of shots at tarpon. We managed to jump a few fish and had several exciting misses. Nate was a great coach throughout the process. He showed incredible patience and composure, especially when I somehow managed to break his favorite rod. Overall, my experience with Nate was great. I would highly recommend you get out on the water with Nate and enjoy the beautiful scenery and great fishing south Florida has to offer.

Fished last night with Captain Nate, the whole experience was amazing. Sight casting with a fly rod for Snook & Sea Trout, was a new experience & one I will not forget & will repeat. Captain Nate was very knowledgeable of the area & which dock lights to target for the best fish. Practice your fly fish techniques & try this out you will not be disappointed. An awesome way to spend an evening after sunset, catching quality fish. Thank you Captain Nate.

We had the best time with Capt. Nate. Our 12 year old wanted to try some saltwater fly fishing (he’s experienced with mountain trout) and Nate had him on sea trout on almost the first cast! He caught several! We tried some structural and mangrove spots as well - all in all it was our son’s highlight of the trip ! Nate helped with some coaching and kept the momentum going throughout our beautiful bay excursion. Highly recommend Capt Nate!

Nate was a fantastic guide for my morning trip on my last day of vacation. I was looking for someone to take me out on my last day and I’m glad I found Nate! He was professional, very responsive and brought me out for an awesome early morning snook bite. I had a blast casting on lights in the dark that I was brought too, and the captain was very knowledgeable. I’ve been fishing for years, and my trip was definitely one of the coolest and fun trips I’ve done in a long time. I highly Recommend Nate to anyone who is looking to experience a great Snook bite. Thank you once again for a great trip!

Captain Nate is great! He took myself and my two sons out fly fishing and really made sure they had a great time. My boys talked about it for 3 days afterwards. Can’t wait to come back

Nate took us out on a night fishing trip and got us into the fish immediately! We caught lots of snook and a few trout. He was very professional and has a super clean skiff that was perfect to fish from. Overall a great experience. Would recommend, 10/10.
