CAPTAIN ALEX HUGHEY

Lifelong Florida Native, Captain Alex Hughey, knows the Mosquito Lagoon, Indian river, and Banana river like the back of his hand.

East Central Florida is home to an incredibly diverse inshore saltwater environment. Acres of shallow flats, miles of canals and shorelines are home to many resident and migrating fish. Stalking redfish, sea trout, snook, tarpon and many others are becoming increasingly popular to a wide variety of anglers. Light tackle and fly fishing for these inshore species are both relaxing and exciting.

Captain Alex Hughey has years of guiding experience putting everyone from new anglers to seasoned fly-fisherman on a rewarding adventure. Located in Cocoa Beach near Cape Canaveral, Orlando, Merritt Island, Titusville, and the Disney / Universal theme parks. Come experience the Indian River Lagoon, Banana River Lagoon, or Mosquito Lagoon. I offer many different opportunities of fishing styles and species. Give me a call so I can cater your day to your expectations.

The environmental diversity of our saltwater ecosystem allows us to build a trip around you.

If you’re looking to stay inshore, you may find that redfish, tarpon, snook, spotted seatrout the Indian River Lagoon, Banana River Lagoon, or Mosquito Lagoon will provide all the action you’re looking for. If you want to look for cobia, tripletail, king mackerel, snook, tarpon and whatever else the ocean allows, then nearshore is the answer for you.
