Somewhere between the tangled mangroves, the rolling tides, and the pull of a stubborn fish, there’s a story waiting to be told. Skiff Capt isn’t just a blog—it’s a deep dive into the world of backcountry fishing, life on the water, and the moments that make it all worthwhile.
I’m Vincent Bini, a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain, lifelong angler, and storyteller at heart. I’ve spent years threading my way through Florida’s backcountry, chasing everything from bull redfish to acrobatic tarpon, and soaking up every bit of wisdom the water has to offer. But fishing isn’t just about the catch—it’s about the experience, the learning, and the stories that come from it. And that’s what Skiff Capt is all about.
Here, you’ll find real-world fishing tips, firsthand accounts of unforgettable days on the water, and a no-frills, no-fluff take on what it means to live a life driven by tides and tackle. Whether you’re looking for insight on dialing in your technique, exploring hidden gems of the Everglades, or just a good fishing tale to go with your morning coffee, you’ll find it here.
Beyond the rod and reel, I’m also an avid writer and reader—always hungry to learn, always eager to put thoughts to paper (or screen). Writing isn’t just a side gig; it’s woven into everything I do, just like fishing. The best stories aren’t just told—they’re lived. And that’s exactly what I aim to bring to every post on Skiff Capt.
So whether you’re here for the knowledge, the camaraderie, or just to daydream about your next trip, welcome aboard. There’s always room in the skiff for those who share the passion.
Tight lines,
Capt. Vincent Bini
