When Captain George Gozdz isn't filming for his television show "Reel Time Florida Sportsman" you'll find him guiding on the Indian River Lagoon and St.Lucie River system. A resident of Florida for all but five months of his life, Capt. George Gozdz is as native as native gets. This United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain has vast knowledge of the game fish of the Indian River Lagoon that comes literally from thousands of hours spent on the waterway he calls home.

Legendary in these parts for his ability to “find the fish”, Capt. George Gozdz has caught some of the largest game fish ever fought in these waters. On a daily basis he puts visitors on the “fish of their lives”, and his witty personality is sure to put both the beginning fisherman and the most seasoned angler at ease. His love of Indian River Lagoon and its gamefish is infectious and after your first day on the water with Capt. George you will call the lagoon your second home and Capt. George your favorite guide. 

Whether you seek king-sized tarpon, monster snook, gator trout, or delicious pompano, the IRL is sure to please. Visitors are always hesitant to leave, but will always depart with lifelong memories and tales of the tackle testing Indian River slam (snook, trout, redfish), or the coveted grand slam (snook, trout, redfish and tarpon).
