The Captain
Captain Skylar Wilks and Inspired Fishing Company are the inevitable byproducts of being Florida born and raised. Growing up in Florida, Capt. Skylar spent most of his time fishing the coastlines, bays, and anywhere else he could find a few feet of water. Summers and weekends you'd find him with a line in the water at his grandparents home in Madeira Beach, or joining his grandfather, Papa, and his Bad to the Bone fishing team anywhere they took the boat. He fell in love with the gulf and bay, catching trophy reds, snook, and trout from Clearwater to Sarasota. When college called, Capt. Skylar moved south and spent 4 years fishing the waters of Fort Myers and the surrounding area, while playing soccer for Florida Gulf Coast University, and majoring in Business Management. After college he returned home to the place where he first fell in love with fishing, and founded Inspired Fishing Company. Since then his passion for fishing has been inspiring anglers of all ages!
