Meet the Captain

About the Captain:

A Florida Native with a true passion for fishing, Capt. Brecken Stinnett has felt most comfortable on the water since an early age. His summers were spent fishing all over the Gulf of Mexico, down to the Florida Keys. It was during this time that Brecken fell in love with fly fishing and the art of tying flies. In 2019 Brecken moved to Boca Grande and a new love was born; the desire to catch a tarpon in the old Florida traditional style. Brecken spent three years mating with Captain Wayne Joiner on the Hey Moma, learning from one of the best fishermen in Boca Grande Pass. In 2023, he branched out on his own with his 24ft Morgan, Big Mouth, offering charters in Boca Grande Pass during Tarpon Season. Capt. Brecken is also a Hell's Bay Guide and currently operates his Hell's Bay Waterman year-round in the back waters of Charlotte Harbor. Catering to the needs of all clients, Brecken offers diversity on the water with the option to approach the sport in many different ways. A true studier of not only the species he is chasing, but also the techniques he is imploring both on and off the water, make Brecken the best choice for your Captain!
