Meet Capt. Allen Mills

Capt. Allen has an extensive fishing history from Fernandina Beach, FL down to Mexico and the Bahamas. For the last 42 years, he has been guiding at home (Amelia Island, Florida) from backcountry to blue water.

Capt. Allen loves sight cast fishing (whether it’s for Redfish in the Backwater, or Cobia offshore). With a fly rod or light tackle, the thrill of seeing the fish before you catch it is one of the best highs in life. Capt. Allen also holds a current World Record (held for 18 years!) for Bonnethead Shark (check out our Shark fishing tours).
