Your Guide...Capt. Nathaniel Lemmon
Capt Nathaniel Lemmon loves the outdoors…hunting and fishing is his passion.
Nathaniel grew up in the mountains of West Virginia spending hundreds of days per year in the woods or on the water, something he has been doing for 25 years.. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from West Virginia University, Nathaniel moved to East-Central Florida where he met his future wife and settled in Edgewater—along the waters of the North Mosquito Lagoon.
Nathaniel loves fishing. While he grew up fishing the native and stocked trout streams and creeks of rural West Virginia, he has chased numerous other freshwater and saltwater species. He has fished in many states throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast. For the past 10 years, Nathaniel has called Florida home, pursuing inshore species around the state via light tackle and fly. Whatever the target, sightfishing is generally his preferred method. “The adrenaline rush and excitement one feels when hunting, stalking and casting to a fish you've spotted is enough to wobble the legs of the most experienced anglers,”
Nathaniel is a full-time professional —whether fishing or guiding—learning, watching, following and patterning finicky fish nearly 250 days each year. With most inshore launch ramps only a few minutes from his doorstep, it’s safe to say these waters are his backyard and home away from home.

While fishing in Florida is a year-round activity, hunting is still very close to Nathaniel's heart. Nathaniel grew up hunting the Mid-Atlantic for trophy deer, turkey, birds, and small game. He has taken a few record book whitetails and prior to moving to Florida, he guided locals and friends on deer hunts throughout West Virginia. Even in Florida, Nathaniel still enjoys many days each year hunting turkey, wild-hog, and deer. In the fall, he takes to the wetlands and marshes with his retriever for waterfowl hunting.
Capt Nathaniel is licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard, legally permitted by Canaveral National Seashore to operate within their borders as well as Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, and is commercially insured.
