SHARK BAIT SINCE 1985.

The number #1 quality we look for in a fishing guide is an all-powerful, multi-generational addiction to fishing. “If you’re a Kelly, you’ve got a problem with fish: You’ve gotta catch ‘em all.”

Doesn’t sound like a problem to us.

If you could hear this photo, you’d hear Lacey Kelly demonstrating her trademark laugh as she shows off her fly-tying skills.
FLORIDA WOMAN.
You might be off Florida’s Nature Coast if: Trees grow out of the water. These shallows do a number on outboard motors, but Lacey Kelly knows how to navigate them.

Lacey Kelly looking like a superhero on her boat. Her superpower? She can walk on water. Who’s she protecting? The ocean from too many fish.
If You’re A Kelly, You’ve Got To Catch ‘Em All.
