Capt. Butch Rickey spent much of his youth living on Sanibel and Captiva Islands, and has spent much of his life fishing the waters of southwest Florida from Tampa Bay to the Ten Thousand Island. His knowledge of the local waters, years of experience, highly specialized flats boat, and strong work ethic, combine to give you an unforgetable experience on Sarasota Bay.

Capt. Butch's tunnel-hull Talon F-16 flats boat is an unbelievably stable and roomy angling platform that will add to your safety, comfort, and fun. It is powered by a Yamaha 150 motor, and will run and float in unbelievably shallow water. It will get you to where the fish are quickly, safely, quietly, and in comfort.

And, speaking of where the fish are; there is plenty of water in the area including the waters around Siesta Key, St. Armand's Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Casey Key, Perico Island, Palma Sola, Snead Island, Rattlesnake Key, and Venice, in beautiful waters like, Roberts Bay, Palma Sola Bay, Anna Maria Sound, Terra Ceia Bay, Bimini Bay, Miguel Bay, the Manatee River, and the Braden River.
