Introduction

[tropicbay]

Hello Everyone,
I would like to introduce myself to the forum.
I am Capt. Pat and I own Tropic Bay Guide Service.
I am located on the Nature Coast of Florida which is central gulf coast area, north of Tampa about 50 miles as the fish swims. My service specializes in sight fishing the flats with fly rod. I do of course offer light tackle, artificial only spin fishing. I live on the gulf and fish the areas between Anclote Key and Homosassa. I sight fish for tarpon, permit, snook, redfish, pompano, sea trout, jack crevalle, horse eye jacks and shark. I have been fly fishing since I was 12 and thats a lot of fish ago. I tie the flies that I guide with and provide all the equipment for you. I fish from a new Hewes Redfisher 18 powered with an Evinrude ETEC 150HO. I am very open for new ideas and gladly share any information with anyone that asks. I am a USCG Licensed Captain and I am IGFA Certified fly fishing guide/captain ( 1 of 200 in the world). Thanks for your time and may your reels scream.
Capt. Pat
