Capt. Scott Hamilton
When you think of offshore fly fishing in the Palm Beach/Jupiter, Florida area there is one name that stands out - Scott Hamilton. Scott is a true visionary and fishing genius in how he innovated the south east ocean fishery as an exclusive fly fishing captain. He designed his own flies that successfully caught a plethora of blue water fish, and when he got blown out offshore he could move inside and target jacks, tarpon, and snook which he knew well.
Many were amazed how well his spectrum developed. Often he’d out fish the bait captains. I heard of Scott well before I met him and when I did, I couldn’t wait to fish with him. Offshore fishing is something that very much intrigues me, yet have little experience at (maybe because I get sea sick when the conditions are ideal for catching). He mastered his craft quickly and it became a regular occurrence for his anglers to come home with big cobia, kingfish, tuna, and dolphin on the fly.
Scott is a guy who says it how it is. He doesn’t exaggerate and will work extremely hard to make sure his clients have a great experience on the water. In the last couple of years, Scott has been experiencing, like many other guides, the frustration of a declining fishery. We all have to appreciate what we still have, try to save it, and cherish the great moments that are still coming. Thanks so much for coming on and telling your story, Scott…
