The hound behind Flats Hound
Meet Capt. Meddie
Captain & Owner
A keen nose for fish. A guide's patience for people.
Captain Meddie Sullivan has spent his life reading the backwaters of Southwest Florida — the tides, the bait runs, the mangrove edges where big snook lay up and tarpon roll at first light.
Guests use the same words over and over: knowledgeable, patient, safe, put us on fish. Whether it's a kid's first sheepshead or a hard-core hunt for a 100-pound tarpon, Meddie runs the trip your group actually wants — and he'll teach you the tricks of the trade along the way: finding fish, targeting live bait, knot tying, working a mangrove shoreline.
Fishing isn't just his job. It's how he spends his off days too — which is exactly the kind of guide you want on the water.
