More About
Captain Trever
As a life long Floridian growing up and fishing Tampa Bay Area and other gulf coast city’s . I have gained a respect and passion for fishing these Florida waters.
The love of the water drove me to obtain my Captain’s license and work on the water for years as a ship captain.
I loved to spend my time off fishing tournaments and filming for TV shows. So the transition to charter captain was an easy decision for me. I love to see a seasoned angler hit a new PR or the beginner angler learn something new and enjoy fishing for a lifetime.
Give Reel Spooled Charters a try and enjoy what the beautiful waters of Northeast Florida has to offer.
