My husband and I booked a fishing charter with Captain Scott Green as part of our wedding anniversary trip, and fishing with Captain Scott and First Mate Steve was the highlight of our entire vacation.
This was my very first saltwater fishing experience, while my husband, Jesse, is a highly experienced angler. Returning to the Florida Gulf felt like coming home for him, and Captain Scott and Steve did an exceptional job creating an experience that was enjoyable for both of us despite our very different skill levels.
As a beginner, I received patient instruction, encouragement, and guidance throughout the trip. At the same time, my husband was able to fish freely and enjoy being on fish the entire time. Between the two of us, we caught more than a dozen fish during our four-hour charter (not all keepers but so much fun!), and there was never a dull moment.
By the end of the trip, we were so tired from actively fishing that we asked to take a break. Rather than simply ending the trip early, Captain Scott took us on a scenic tour of the area so we could enjoy the remainder of our time on the water. It was such a thoughtful gesture that topped off an already amazing trip.
Afterward, Captain Scott cleaned our fish and recommended a local restaurant that prepared our catch for dinner. It was the perfect ending to an incredible day. We were also delighted to discover that Captain Scott is a fellow Midwesterner, which made the experience feel even more personal. He and First Mate Steve were both very kind and hilariously funny.
Captain Scott is professional, hardworking, and genuinely committed to making sure his guests have a great time. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or trying saltwater fishing for the very first time, you’ll be in excellent hands.
We came home with a ton of fish, wonderful memories, and sore arms from reeling them in. Of everything we did during our anniversary trip, our day on the water with Captain Scott and Steve is the memory we’ll treasure most. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
