Gone Fishing Mosquito Lagoon Guide Service

Gone Fishing Mosquito Lagoon Guide Service

Climb aboard with Captain Karty for an unforgettable day exploring the shallow waters of Florida’s legendary Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River! Captain Karty has spent decades sharing his passion for stalking Redfish and Seatrout in these tranquil backcountry waters just south of New Smyrna Beach—less than an hour from Orlando.

With Merchant Mariner Credentials from the U.S. Coast Guard and over 15 years of experience guiding under a Special Use Permit from the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Captain Karty brings unmatched local knowledge and a lifetime of on-the-water expertise to every charter.

Whether you’re an eager beginner or a seasoned angler, he brings energy and enthusiasm to each trip, taking pride in helping families make lasting memories and showing newcomers the thrill of sight-fishing in pristine flats.

Captain Karty provides everything you need for a successful day on the water—just bring sunglasses, sunscreen, drinks, and snacks.

From the moment you step aboard, you’ll feel the excitement and know you’re in great hands. Come see why fishing the Lagoon with Captain Karty is more than just a charter—it’s a passion shared.

"Karty knew exactly where to find fish. Even with bad weather conditions we still caught fish. Thank you both for the awesome fishing experience. Fishing topwater is one of my favorite ways to catch Bass but Reds beat them hands down."
-Brad Ribbens of Plymouth
"We had a blast fishing and will definitely visit you again. Captain Karty is a real pleasure to fish with. Any time you're catching fish too big to keep, you're fishing with the right guide. It was just a perfect trip."
-Don from California
"We'd like to thank you for such a great trip. My dad simply loved it, and hanging out with Karty was a lot of fun. We really appreciated your help with our last minute plan changes, and, well, we got some great fishing!"
Pepe Jr., Pepe Sr. and Jean Paul

We provide EVERYTHING EXCEPT:

Nothing turns fish off more that a hint of sunscreen. And it Kills Live Bait Quick!
Repellent may be necessary for the boat ramp area, mostly in the summer months. There is a good reason they call it Mosquito Lagoon. Generally bugs are not a problem after the boat leaves the ramp area.
• BEVERAGES and SNACKS. Bring more water than you think you will need. You may bring your cooler.
• For Cool Weather trips, dress in layered clothing.
