Captain Scott has spent most of his life on the water. From the beautiful saltwater estuary of Tampa Bay all the way up north to the Great Lakes of Michigan, Captain Scott loves to fish. He is a licensed and insured United States Coast Guard Captain who enjoys sharing his home waters with anglers of all ages, and experience levels.

Specializing in inshore and nearshore fishing, Captain Scott primarily targets Tampa Bay’s most sought-after species such as snook, redfish, trout and the elusive silver king. Shark fishing inside the bay during the heat of summer is Captain Scott’s favorite target species because you never know what you’re going to get, and the fight is always exciting. Families, children of all ages, and seasoned anglers are all welcome aboard for an exciting day on the water.

When booking a charter with Tight Lines Tampa Bay, everything is provided on board including licenses, rods & reels, fresh bait and years of local knowledge of everything inside Tampa Bay. Beyond fishing, Captain Scott also takes guests to experience Florida’s wildlife such as manatees, dolphins and a ton of exotic bird species.

Captain Scott’s favorite part of the job is watching an angler’s face light up once the drag starts peeling and the action starts! The excitement of meeting new people everyday and watching them catch lots of fish is what fuels his passion as a guide.
