Captain Steve Washington

Captain Steve grew up fishing for panfish, Carp, and Northern Pike in Michigan and fell in love with fishing. After high school, he served 23 years in the Navy which took him around the world including Alaska and Washington State where he spent years fishing for Salmon and Steelhead in the rivers and Rainbow Trout in the lakes. After retiring from the military, the captain moved to Florida to be near his parents and discovered inshore fishing for Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Snook – the best fishing he has ever experienced. He loves fishing for Speckled Trout, as the action is usually good and the fish are beautiful and tasty. Their distinctive head shake and aggressive bite make them fun to catch on light tackle. After years of fishing and working in Florida, Captain Steve realized the only days he looked forward to were those he spent on the water. He made it his goal to someday find a way to make a living doing what he loves. Having traveled to multiple locations and fish camps, rarely did the hosts spend time with their clients off of the boat. Captain Steve wants to change this. At his fish camp you can cook, eat, and relax in the main building and feel welcome as his guests. The family experience is his goal, so feel free to come and be part of the family.

Fished two full days with Captain Stephen during the week of March 13. Stephen did a great job for us, starting by being at the dock on time, with a well-equipped clean boat, good quality rods and reels, and a lot of lively bait. I rated the overall experience as good only because of weather conditions which are of course, out of the captains’ hands. In spite of a cold front and high winds, we still landed shark, snook, trout, and of course the always present catfish. If I ever get to fish in the Sanibel area again, I will gladly spend my money with Silver Fish Inshore Charters.

Captain Steve was easy going and very knowledgeable. We were on fish right away. We used soft baits for the trout and he netted live “white” bait for the reds. Although still a little early in the season for reds … the live bait drew the wary reds out of the mangroves. The captain fished hard and even added a little more time to put a few more in the boat. Having owned and fished from a boat in New England for + 30 years this was everything I hoped for.

Had a great trip! Water was cold (61 degrees at start) so fish were a bit elusive, but not from lack of trying. Captain Washington was a top notch guide and worked his butt off to get us into fish. We were fishing for speckled trout in the grass flats off Sanibel and Captiva. Boat and tackle were top end. Great day on the water!
