Fishing with Capt. Lou is more than a fun day of fishing, it is truly a great fishing experience. I love to fish with families. I grew up fishing with my family and still do. There is nothing like seeing a child catch his or her first fish. I would love a fishing experience with your family and share my passion.
I sanitize my boat and cushions before every trip and provide a sanitized cooler with fresh ice, licenses, tackle, bait, everything we need to have a great fun day. You provide what you like to eat and drink, camera, hat, and sunblock. Please do not bring a cooler!

Tarpon Fishing
Tarpon Fishing
The cry "FISH ON" signals the beginning of one of fishing's most exciting experiences. Tarpon are known for their spectacular jumps and tail walking. When the fish is hooked, the angler may normally expect the fish to "fly" several times before the real battle begins. On the light tackle used by Capt. Lou, the fight may last from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. Whether you are an experienced tarpon fisherman or a novice, boating the "Silver King" is an experience never to be forgotton.
Back Country Fishing
Back Country Fishing
Some of the fish that we will be fishing for in the back country are snook, trout, and redfish. These and many other species inhabit the warm waters of SW Florida year around.
