Member Comment: I had a great morning fly fishing with Scott. We began the day on several large pods of jacks, chased after sailfish for a couple of hours and
completed the day hooking up a few spanish macs in Lake Worth. Scott is a very knowledgible and well respected guide in the West Palm Beach area, the radio station even called him for an on the air fish report.
Scott provides all the equipment, you just show up and slay fish.

| Member Comment:We had a super day with Henry, fishing the Indian River lagoon with light tackle for redfish and seatrout. Henry was knowledgeable and easy to get along with, and had a lot of interesting insights into the habits of the local fish. Obviously, they worked, as we caught big reds and HUGE seatrout all day. Henry does provide premium-quality tackle if you don't have your own, and he caters to fly fishermen, too. |
