Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay & Boca Grande’s Finest Inshore Guide

Capt. Shawn is regarded as one of the Gulf Coasts finest Snook fisherman. He is an expert at locating and catching trophy fish. He feels that the diversity of species is what makes West Central Florida, Tampa Bay and Sarasota to Boca Grande, such a special place to fish.Capt.

Captain Shawn has all the licenses that you will need. All you have to do is show up with a lunch and be prepared to have a good time. He is also a licensed captain from the United States Coast Guard and is certified in first aid and CPR.

Captain Shawn has been fishing just about his entire life. From the time he was just old enough to hold a fishing rod. No one knows where the fish are near-shore, in-shore or backwaters of the Tampa, Sarasota, and Venice area waters better than Captain Shawn!
