Leighton Ingram, Captain at True Florida Expeditions

True Florida Expeditions offers various trips, including Fly Fishing excursions or eco-tourism adventures. Your day with us can be tailored to your preferences—whether that means traveling up one of the rivers in our area (like the Peace and Myakka) or exploring Charlotte Harbor's extensive coastline. Captain Leighton will use the boat trip as an opportunity to point out amazing wildlife and share his knowledge about Florida's history.

 

Captain Leighton Ingram is a second-generation fisherman who spent 13 years working in a corporate career before pursuing his passion as a full-time captain and commercial fisherman. The Captain currently lives in Punta Gorda, Florida with his four children. When he's not on the water, he enjoys reading and writing—especially cooking for friends and family.

 

Captain Leighton will take up to two guests aboard his 17' Pathfinder flats boat, or you can use his 16' Scandy White Micro Skitt. Both light and shallow-hulled vessels were built specifically for the skinny waters. Among the fish you'll find in these waters are Sheepshead, Trout, Snook, and Redfish. In season, Tarpon migrates here from oceanic spawning grounds to mate, and Anglers can catch one during this time!

 

A great day on the water is never complete without that perfect ending and for Captain Leighton, it's about providing you with an experience so unique and intimate that he'll make sure your charter is tailored to suit your every need. After your trip, the Captain will clean and fillet any catch you’d like to take home. All required equipment is supplied by True Florida Expeditions; all you need to do is bring some snacks and forget your worries by getting on board and enjoying yourself!
