Raccoon family in Mosquito Lagoon

Your Guide...Capt. Nathaniel Lemmon

Quite simply, Capt Nathaniel Lemmon loves the outdoors…hunting and fishing is his passion.

Since 1998, Nathaniel has called Florida home, pursuing inshore species around the state via light tackle and fly. Prior to moving to Florida, Nathaniel grew up in the mountains of West Virginia. As a child he spent hundreds of days per year in the woods or on the water, something he has been done for nearly 30 years. Nathaniel grew up fishing the native and stocked trout streams and creeks of rural West Virginia. He has fished in many states throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast. He has also fished abroad in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from West Virginia University, Nathaniel moved to East-Central Florida where he met his future wife and settled in Edgewater—along the waters of the North Mosquito Lagoon. With many inshore launch ramps only a few minutes from his doorstep, it’s safe to say inshore waters are his backyard and home away from home.

Capt. Lemmon with a Mosquito Lagoon Tarpon Nathaniel became a full-time professional angler in 2005, guiding charters and fishing redfish tournaments with other professionals. He is on the water nearly every day—whether fishing or guiding—learning, watching and patterning finicky fish over 240 days each year. Nathaniel averages over 140 paid charters per year. He also annually puts his angling skills up against the top inshore anglers by fishing professionally in local and national tournament trails. He has fished on the Cabela's IFA Redfish Tour, HT Redfish Series, and Sport Fishing Magazine's Fishstock Inshore Challenge. He has several finishes in the top 15 and an overall average finish in the top 25% of all tournament he has ever entered. Click to view Capt. Lemmon's Tournament History.

He's been featured in Florida Sportsman Magazine ("Moving Targets - Oct '09), Redfish Nation (ESPN's member magazine), CyberAngler.com (Of Spottails and Space Shuttles - Dec '09), Fly Fishing in Saltwaters, and the Daytona Beach News Journal newspaper.
