Guided inshore, nearshore, and fly fishing charters on Florida's Nature Coast — run by captains whose families have fished these waters for generations.
From the gin-clear flats of the Nature Coast to the nearshore ledges and reefs just off the Homosassa coast, we run a full range of guided adventures — matched to the species, season, and style you want to chase.
Homosassa Fishing Company fishes some of the most productive water on Florida's Gulf Coast, homeported at MacRae's of Homosassa — a landmark for anglers for generations. We pole a sleek East Cape Vantage and a Maverick Mirage on the flats, run a fully rebuilt classic 1968 Flat Back Aqua Sport inshore, and head nearshore for hard-fighting grouper on the ledges and reefs.
Meet the captains“Time-tested local knowledge with a sense of adventure you can't find anywhere else.” — Capt. Stump Hamilton, Homosassa Guides Association
A cornerstone of the Homosassa fishing experience and a rite of passage for every angler. Watch our own Capt. Stump join legendary HGA guide Capt. Fred Lyles on the water to prepare the famed Homosassa Shore Lunch — a real taste of the culture and cuisine that make this fishery one of a kind.
Want one on your trip? We can set up a custom shore lunch right on the islands.
Generations of local knowledge, a fleet built for every kind of water, and the kind of day you'll be talking about long after you're off the water.
USCG-licensed guides born and raised on these waters — including a 7th-generation Floridian and Secretary-Treasurer of the Homosassa Guides Association.
A technical East Cape Vantage and Maverick Mirage for the flats, a restored 1968 Aqua Sport inshore, and a bay boat for nearshore grouper. We match the rig to the water.
