Testimonials
I started fishing the waters of Charlotte Harbor in 1997. After a couple of years, I set my personal goals of a 30-pound redfish, a 20-pound snook, and a 150-pound tarpon. The guys at Beyond Borders Outfitters have so far gotten me a 39-pound redfish, a 180-pound tarpon, and a 19-pound snook (have to have some reason to keep fishing) plus a 28-pound permit and numerous other species. After thousands of hours on the water, and fishing with other guides I have learned 3 things. 1. There is no magical secret to catching fish in Charlotte Harbor. They constantly move and change their patterns just like any fish anyplace. 2. If you want to consistently locate fish you need someone like the guys at BBO who have lived on, and fished these waters their entire life and spend 250+ days a year on the water sharpening their skills. 3. My best chance to be put on fish, and better yet fish that are eating, is with BBO.

I’ve known Rhett for over 11 years. I first met Rhett at the Caloosa Catch and Release Tournament, where his team always came in ahead of our team. When I started fishing with a guide 10 years ago, he was my first choice, and I have never looked back. His professionalism is exemplified by always being on time with the bait on board for the charter. His equipment is top-notch, and his knowledge of Charlotte Harbor is superb. Over the last 10 years, I’ve caught fish in many places which don’t get into the common knowledge base in the Harbor. I think Rhett’s most outstanding quality is his ability to tune each trip to the interest and ability of the companions I’ve brought along, ranging from expert anglers to my young grandchildren. I like to say, “I go CATCHING with Rhett”.

I started fishing when I retired twelve years ago. In an attempt to make up for lost time I have fished with guides in Brazil, Belize, Alaska, and throughout the midwestern and western states up to 50 days a year. If there is one lesson I can share it is that the guide makes the trip. However, finding a good guide is often more easily said than done. All the more so if you are a fly fisher like me. We moved to Charlotte Harbor 10 years ago and after 10 years with Rhett and several of his BBO guides I can safely say “problem solved”. Rhett and his team of selected local guides, know the water and fish as close to every day as any guide you will find. If you are fishing alone, with another angler, or have a group I don’t think you can do better to assure a great experience than booking with Rhett and his team.
