Capt. Scott McCalla

Having grown up on the Atlantic Ocean and its many inland estuaries, Scott shares a deep understanding of Mosquito Lagoon inshore sight fishing with his anglers. "To me, there is nothing like seeing your target before you catch it and even better is having an angler experience it for the first time. That's what Mosquito Lagoon is all about."

Scott's shallow-water travels reach far beyond Mosquito Lagoon, to include the out-Islands of the Bahamas and the Florida Keys for bonefish, tarpon and permit. His most memorable catch was a bonefish on fly weighing 12 pounds caught in The Bight of 'Ole Robinson, Abaco, Bahamas. Rob recalls this as, "a very scary moment for a 6-weight." Rob also makes routine trips to Islamorada in search of Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit when not guiding on Mosquito Lagoon.

At 30 years of age, his guiding skills have been put to the test throughout the prestigious Redbone@Large Celebrity Tournament Series at Mosquito Lagoon. In 2003, Scott guided anglers that captured both the Celebrity Grand Championship and Spin/Plug Division Championship. In 2004, Scott again guided his angler to the Spin/Plug Division Championship. "The Redbone isn't about how well 'Scott Maccalla' can fish - it's about how well I guide my anglers, and that's the real fun for me."

Scott describes the Mosquito Lagoon as, "A little piece of the Everglades on the East Coast of Florida. What more could you ask for? No buildings, no development, pristine habitat and a world-class fishery."

From April through October, Scott also guides out of Islamorada, Florida Keys where bonefish, tarpon and permit are the object of his angler's desire. Each spring, Scott spends peak tarpon season guiding his anglers in the pursuit of "Silver King" during the annual tarpon migration.

Scott has been featured in the Florida Today and Orlando Sentinel for his Mosquito Lagoon guiding efforts and often writes articles for regional outdoors magazines. He is endorsed by Hell's Boatworks, Mercury Outboards, Pro-Trim Products, SAGE Fly Rods, Abel Reels, BAUER Premium Fly Reels and is a member of the Ocean Waves Sunglasses Pro Team.
