Captain Smith is a U.S.C.G.-licensed Master in business since 1978. He specializes in wild shiner, live bait fishing for Big Bass!
We often catch large numbers of bass. Smitty and other professional guides he works with have been promoting catch-and-release for years. We release most of the fish we catch to give these fish a chance to reproduce for future generations of fishing folk to enjoy. The local taxidermists can provide replicas for most of our trophies.
Smitty and his guide associates make their living doing what they love. They’ll work hard to ensure a great trip for you, your family and friends to keep you coming back for years to come!
Our Vessel:
Fish or tour in comfor with plenty of room to move about in a spacious, 20-foot, center-console Everglades flats boat. We do our best to make our boat universally accessible with hand rails and room for a wheelchair.
Good Times!
Captain Smitty has loved fishing since he was a little boy. Here he is with his dad, Cowboy. Let us help you create a lifetime of memories for your family and friends too!
