I've been living in this area for the last 25 years. After living in a place that long you really get to know the area and the local businesses. One of the great things about being a local business owner is the relationships I get to build with other people that are like minded. Here you'll find a list of people and businesses that I deal with on a regular basis. Some of them are listed here because we've worked out a deal to help our customers and some of them are here because they're just good people running good businesses! If you're going to be in the area I highly recommend the people and businesses listed below.

Englewood Bait House

This is where we keep the boat. They have a great selection of Tackle, Bait, Fishing equpment and much more.

Lock 'n Key Restaurant

"Great food at great prices. Great entertainment several nights a week. Catch your favorite team on one of our many TVs with your friends or rival comrades. Soak up our gorgeous sunsets or come for lunch and glory in the warmth of Florida"

You can also bring your days catch here and they'll cook it and server it with sides! Ever eat your grouper an hour after you catch it?? I'm telling you there's nothing better!

Bucans Landing Resort

This is a great place to stay if you're coming to the area. Located on the intracoastal waterway and in the historic downtown englewood area you can walk to local shopping and restaurants. Mention that Captain Dan sent you and you'll receive a 10% discount on your stay
