Bringing Compassionate Care Right to Your Driveway
As a professional fishing guide, I, Captain Dustin Hilliard, have had the privilege of sharing my passion for fishing with countless individuals and families in the Tampa Bay area. Growing up in Minnesota, I was initially introduced to freshwater fishing, but after moving to Florida at the age of twelve, I discovered the thrill of saltwater fishing and never looked back. With over 25 years of experience, I've honed my skills in studying the habits of saltwater species, including redfish, trout, snook, tarpon, and cobia.
