Captain Mike Merritt's Native Guide Service

Spent Saturday fishing with my son Michael, then watched our towns amazing fireworks! Great day! This Snook was a beast. 40" but the girth was massive.

Some good fish being caught this week!

Mario and Brian had a good day on some big fish!

Children from the school on Rio Urubu down the river from our lodge. They are currently learning the indigenous ways as part of their schooling. So very important for these children to be taught these things as this is their heritage. We always have our clients visit the school and deliver supplies for the teachers and students.

What do you guys think about the ad for our local paper, The Mullet Rapper. Share it with anyone you know that might want to go to the Amazon for an amazing trip!

It was a great day for Mickey and Brian. Got some big ones and some slots. Snook! Yeah!

Some over size fish for John Johnson today. He landed 7 of these beauties that were all over size fish. Great day on the water.

First fish of the day for Jim was a beauty!

Spent the day retrieving some supplies I left out for my walk. Resurrection Fern, Bromeliads, and Orchids are literally everywhere in this region. Not to mention some fish and wildlife too! The Everglades always gives you something to enjoy!

A few pics from inside the mangrove Forrest. We set up our hammocks over 6 inches of water because there is no dry ground. Had to build up an area to get a fire going. Tough going!

John Johnson had a good day today on some really nice fish!

Not 1, not 2, but 3 giant Reds. Billy and Alfie managed some great fish on a super windy day.

Charlene had a big day! Big Snook, big Reds and a big sunrise. Love doing these group trips with the local guides. Thanks Capt Kyle McMillin and Capt Derrick Daffin.

Sometimes one good fish can make someone's day! Marty got this beauty while Snook fishing. Yes, he did catch a Snook too.

Had 2 Tom's and they had an awesome trip.

We fished hard yesterday with the Rossbaitco jigs and came up with a couple nice Reds. The biggest Snook was a 27" fish. John Johnson worked hard for his fish!

My grandson Leo is getting so big! Time flies! Enjoy your family while you can!

Happy to have Sherwin Williams Paint Company bring some more guys down to fish! Getting their EFC gear! Let's go!

Some father and son time with the best friend. Alex, Nick and AL had a great day today. Happy Birthday Nick!

A few good Reds and some decent Snook action for John Johnson! Keep on fishing!

When dad wants to make his fish look bigger. Chris and Katherine had a great day of catching yesterday. Reds and Trout. Her 1st time and she out fished dad!

It was cold but at least we got a few fish biting!

Been guiding 30 years and this is the first time I have received a contract to sign from a client. What are your thoughts on this?

These guys wanted a fish fry and then take some fish home. They got what they asked for. Thanks Capt. Kyle McMillin and Capt. Derrick Daffin for helping make it happen.

Larry and Trudy got a few nice Redfish yesterday. In the back and outside, you can see the difference. These back country Reds are beautiful!

The convergence of the Amazon River and the Rio Negro, known as "The Meeting Of The Waters". Come to our lodge and experience what the Amazon has to offer!

Just me and Steve Huff running some border patrol. Lol.

Come by our booth today at the Everglades City Seafood Festival! If you have ever dreamed of seeing the Amazon, now is your chance! We offer Ecotours and Fishing Trips at very affordable prices.

Stop by and see me today at the Everglades Seafood Festival!

Had this rock star again! Rickey Medlocke brought his good buddy Jay with him and we had a great day on the water. Snook bite was really tough but a tough day fishing is better than a good day at work!
