About The Captains
Capt. Leon Hampton
Capt. Leon Hampton was born and raised in Florida. If he isn't on the water, he is in the woods. After spending years on the water he decided he wanted to become a captain. In 2014, Capt. Leon took that road on becoming a fishing guide. He is so passionate about what he does. His main goal is to introduce people to his world and teach them all the things he knows. Capt. Leon is very knowledgeable of his surroundings. There are two things that makes his trip even more special to him - Veterans and children. He is a firm believer in getting children outside and showing them what nature has to offer. As for Veterans, he feels giving back to them is what they need after they have given a lot for our country.
Capt. Leo Hampton
Capt. Leo Hampton started his love for fishing at a young age. Being the father of Capt. Leon, he passed down his knowledge to his son. He decided to take the road of being a fishing guide in 2018 after an injury he sustained in 2017. With working at his first job for over 30 years, it was time to retire due to the injury and relax while fishing. What better way to spend a day on the water making new friends and have memories made for our clients.
Capt. Tyler Hampton
Capt. Tyler Hampton is the son of Capt. Leon and the grandson of Capt. Leo. Of course Tyler would have the love for fishing...it's in his blood. His first word was fish.
Capt. Tyler worked hard and achieved the goal of obtaining his captains license in 2021. His life long dream is to fish and what better way to start than to work for your dad. Tyler is one of the nicest young men you would ever want to meet. He has the knowledge of fishing whether its salt or fresh. His goal is to help educate both you and old about the waterways and to help you make memories.
