Blackwater Charters

I'm Capt. Scott Hughes. Come make a memory with a exciting fishing trip in Southwest Florida. I specialize in light tackle saltwater, and fly fishing from the backcountry of Charlotte Harbor to flats of Pine Island Sound and Boca Grande. All of my backcountry 4,6 or 8hr flats charters and 12hr all-day Tarpon Charters are No Fish, No Pay! If you do not catch a game fish (or jump a tarpon on all-day trip) on your charter then there is no charge for the trip. I have pick-up locations at Burnt Store Marina, Pine Island, Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. I like to target big fish. During warm months, tarpon, sharks, snook, redfish, cobia, black drum, king mackerel and big jacks are the main species sought after. Most of the winter months are devoted to redfish, trout, snook and grouper. Whether your a beginner or a seasoned pro, I am an instructional guide who will provide the knowledge and techniques needed for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip.
