Captain Dick May is a resident of Bokeelia, the northern tip of Pine Island. He specializes in light-tackle flats fishing in Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor. He has fished from Alaska to South America but says this area is the best for year-round fishing. In the summer he also fishes for sharks and this past year a 7 foot Hammerhead was his largest catch.

His 22 ft. Pathfinder is comfortable, dry and still runs shallow enough to get into the back-country to fish for Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Snapper and sturdy enough to chase Tarpon in the passes. He enjoys teaching youngsters, so bring beginners and kids. Capt. Dick has also published 3 seafood recipe books, and he regularly submits recipes in various local newspapers and magazines.   Contact him at  283-3247
