I’ve spent a lot of days chasing redfish across the Mosquito Lagoon, and somehow, it never loses its magic. There’s something about that early light, the still water, and a tail breaking the surface that keeps me coming back.

Over the last decade, I’ve poured everything into this fishery — learning its patterns, perfecting my craft, and chasing those moments that remind you why you’re out there in the first place. I’m still searching for the perfect fly, the perfect cast, and the perfect connection, but these days, what I enjoy most is helping others find theirs.

That’s what led to Backcast Guide Co. — built around good water, good people, and days you’ll remember long after you’re off the skiff.

Everyone Starts Somewhere.

Whether you're an experienced angler or you've never picked up a fly rod, you're in good hands. I'll provide the equipment, instruction, and game plan—you just show up ready to enjoy a day on the water.

What to bring.

Polarized sunglasses are a must! If you have your favorite rod and reel please feel free to bring it along too. Proper clothing depending on the weather, snacks/drinks, sun screen, and your lucky rabbit’s foot. 

Try and keep carry-ons minimal to keep plenty of room for fishing, and to keep weight down on the skiff. And if you can do so, please avoid wearing black soled shoes as they can mark up the boat and those marks are difficult to clean up.  

Just a heads up.

With numerous locations to launch throughout the lagoon, before your trip we will be in communication to determine the best place to launch.

A $100 deposit is due within 7 days of booking. The remainder may be paid via Venmo, PayPal or Cash. Should you need to cancel your charter, you may do so up to 48 hours before your scheduled trip for a full refund of your deposit. Cancellations made within 48 hours of your charter will result in loss of $100 deposit. Capt. Taylor Belinger reserves the right to cancel the trip at his discretion due to poor and unsafe weather condition; should this happen, you will receive a full refund of your deposit.

Client Reviews

Amazing day on the water. Caught my biggest redfish of my life shortly into the trip. Captain Taylor put us right in a school of reds! Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend!

— Taylor Williams

One of the best days of fishing I have had in awhile. Taylor had the boat in the water when I got to ramp and gear was ready. He put me on fish at every spot. He was professional and great explaining on where the fish were. Can't wait to go again.

— Nathan Bochniak

Capt. Taylor is a great, young, up-and-coming guide on the Lagoon. Despite being young, he already has considerable experience and knowledge about this fishery. Not only that, but he is legitimately fun to fish with and put us on fish after fish.

— Scott Kinnebrew
