Catch Redfish, Sea Trout, Snook and More In Our Amazing Lagoon System!
Part of one of the world’s largest and most biologically diverse estuary systems, the Indian River Lagoon and Mosquito Lagoon are also home to an incredible, year-round inshore fishery.
Capt. Fred Pharis has spent more than 30 years learning the nuances of the area and more than 15 years as a fishing guide, leading anglers of all experience levels to amazing catches of redfish, speckled trout, black drum, snook, tarpon and more.
Easygoing and adaptable, Capt. Fred takes pride in tailoring every fishing trip to the skill level, preferences and style of guests — from easy, fast-paced bait fishing for kids to technical “quality over quantity” sight-fishing with artificial lures for discerning anglers.
Top-quality fishing tackle and an immaculately maintained flats skiff rigged with the latest electronics and accessories ensure a safe and successful experience every time.
Of course, fishing is only part of that experience. Just an hour from Orlando’s bustling theme parks, these lagoons feel like another world. In this watery, tropical wilderness, dolphins, manatees, alligators, exotic birdlife and, of course, spectacular sunrises are frequent sightings.
We invite you to join us on the water soon for a 5- or 7-hour Indian River Lagoon or Mosquito Lagoon fishing trip. There’s even a possibility to catch a rocket launch from the water!
All Skill Levels Welcome!

“Fred was kind, knowledgeable, and very funny, all while maintaining a professional side. The boat and all equipment were in 100% perfect shape.”
“Weather wasn’t ideal but captain Fred worked hard to put my wife and me on fish. He was very accommodating to both our fishing abilities. We caught a ton of fish and had a blast.”
“Great guy to fish with. All equipment and boat was top shelf. I have fished all over the country and I would definitely recommend this Captain.”
Let's Go Bend a Rod!
I’ve been fishing Central Florida’s Indian River and Mosquito Lagoons for more than 30 years, and guiding here for more than 15. Introducing people to this incredible fishery — and the natural beauty of the area — is my passion.
Fishing means something different to each person. For some, it’s competitive — a constant quest to catch more and bigger fish. For others, it’s just an excuse to get out on the water and away from the daily grind. I get that, and I take a lot of pride in tailoring trips to match your style and experience level.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple — for you to catch fish, have fun, and enjoy this unique estuary as much as I do.
— Capt. Fred
