Capt. Eric Sweiderk

     Being an avid outdoorsman my entire life I have decide that it was my turn to help bring the splendors that I have enjoyed my whole life to others. I have 9yrs of fishing and duck hunting the Charlotte Harbor and surrounding areas. I have spent coutless hours on theses water chasing fins and feathers.. I've spent decades chasing fish of all kinds and have hunted numerous game animals. I decided to bring my passion of water fowling and fishing here to S.W. Florida and give an opportunity to others to enjoy the splendors of birds dancing in the decoys or a monster fish bending a rod.

      For decades I have indulged in the deep traditions of water fowling and far as carving my own decoy rig, to building all my own duck boats, to traveling the east coast competing in Duck and Goose calling competions near and far.  I was 2006 NJ state ducking calling Champion and earned a ticket to the world Stage in Stuggart, Arkansas to compete at the World Championship duck calling contest.  I've  earned numerous titles in the calling world and have since retired from that stage and have concentrated on enjoying time with Friends and family in the field.  I am always accompanied my newest companion RIZZ a 2 year old Chocolate lab that has a drive to retrieve that is rarely matched... 

     Here in the backcountry of Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor I navigate these waters in a 23' Majek Illusion II specifically designed for skinny water excursions and will run in 3" of water with ease. This rig allows me to navigate to most areas where people can't go and gives the best opportunity to get on those snook, reds, and trout.

      I also operate a 22' Kenner with a modified tunnel which I commonly use for the near shore excursions to look for Tripple tail hanging on the bouys or those big permit on a wreck or maybe some snappers just inside of state waters.  This boat allows for near the shore experience and reasonable Back country fishing.

         I specialize in artificial lure fishing and have always have been a person who rather fool the than feed them.  I however will cater your outing to whatever fits your liking.  So for whatever might be biting we are well equipped to get them fish.
