East Cape Canoes & Skiffs -- Lostmen
Capt. Nathaniel Lemmon is proud to offer his East Cape Canoes & Skiffs Lostmen for your fishing charter on the inshore waters of Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River Lagoon, Ponce Inlet, and the local nearshore waters. Capt. Nathaniel has been with East Cape Canoes & Skiffs since they opened their doors for business and began building their custom line of canoes and skiffs. Capt. Nathaniel is an ECC Pro-Staff member and runs their boat exclusively.
The ECC Lostmen was released to the world during the summer of 2006. Today it is one of the leading poling skiffs found on the water today being known for it's stability, straight line tracking while poling, and a hull design that is especially quiet, allowing guide and anglers to sneak extremely close to targeted species.
This 18' flats skiff can easily fish up to a party of 3 (not including your guide). Completely loaded with fuel, gear, anglers, and guide, the skiff runs and poles in water barely 6 inches deep. With that in mind, there is practically no inshore waters that Capt. Nathaniel is unable to access for your fishing charter.
The Lostmen is one of the most stable flats skiff on the market today, so there is no wobbly legs and no adjustment period anglers find they need on most other poling skiffs on the water.
Once on board Capt. Nathaniel's Lostmen, a giant hatch in the forward deck provides adequate dry storage for anglers to keep all their personal belongings dry. Capt. Nathaniel also has opted for a 72 quart insulated cooler ensuring you have plenty of room for drinks and food, meaning no need for you to tote an extra cooler along. The forward deck features over 40 square foot of casting space. Toe rails have been added for fly fisherman, keeping your fly line neatly gathered at your feet. Capt. Nathaniel also has a 55# thrust trolling motor, allowing him to work in strong tidal areas or deeper water that a push pole just won't do. It's easily removable, within 5 seconds, so fly fisherman shouldn't worry about any potential snags.
Inside the cockpit, 10 built in rod tubes provide plenty of storage room for rods and reels. Being nearly 10' in length, they are also big enough for most fly rods. Because Capt. Nathaniel operates a tiller, there's no center or side console to get in your way, allowing 360 degrees of fishing room.
A quiet and fuel efficient 40hp Honda 4-stroke pushes the Lostmen nearly 35mph. Getting nearly 10 miles to the gallon in gas mileage, and coupled with a 15 gallon fuel tank, Capt. Nathaniel can travel well nearly 150 miles in a day with no worries about getting home.
Capt. Nathaniel has taken great strides to ensure that the Lostmen will meet the needs of nearly every inshore angler or client wishing to experience the world famous flats fishing found in Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River Lagoon. The Captain looks forward to welcoming you aboard his boat!
