Capt Colton Hester was born and raised in Fort Pierce, Florida, where his lifelong passion for fishing began at an early age. Growing up, Colton spent countless days on the water with his father and friends, learning everything from rigging bait to steering the boat. Those early lessons became the foundation for his future as a professional guide.
Today, Colton is a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain who has turned his passion into a career. For him, guiding isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. Every morning begins like it did in his youth: loading the boat, checking the gear, and preparing for another unforgettable day on the water.
As a Lake Okeechobee bass fishing guide and Headwaters Lake fishing guide, Capt Colton specializes in trophy largemouth bass and also offers opportunities to target crappie, snook, and snapper in both freshwater and saltwater. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, Colton creates a fun, educational, and rewarding experience for every guest.
Trips are run aboard a fully equipped, tournament-ready boat with modern electronics and plenty of fishing space. All rods, reels, and tackle are included, with both artificial lures and live bait available. Just bring your fishing license, sun protection, and any snacks or drinks, and get ready for a day of adventure.
For a family-friendly Florida fishing trip filled with learning, laughs, and the chance to land trophy fish, book your next adventure with Capt Colton Hester and experience the outdoors like never before.
