Hi, I'm Scott Sewell, owner and operator of Let's Go Fishin' Guide Service. Welcome to my website. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. I'll be happy to answer any the questions you may have, however please allow me a couple days to respond. I don't have email access on my boat yet!

     I started fishing for catfish, perch and other species when I was old enough to hold a fishing rod. I grew up on a farm that bordered a creek off of Back River in Baltimore County. I had my own boat & motor by the time I was 10 years old. I learned to catch fish, crabs, and turtles in that little creek. As I got older, I was fortunate to have family members who took me with them on boats in the Chesapeake Bay in pursuit of other species of fish, including stripped bass, blues, hardheads, drum, croakers, etc. I learned to troll, drift and bottom fish, use a fly rod, surf casters, etc. 

     When I was old enough to drive, I traveled all over Maryland and surrounding areas, to fish rivers, farm ponds, reservoirs, the bay and even beaches in Ocean City & Delaware. As an adult, my passion for fishing has taken me all over the eastern half of the U.S., the Atlantic Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico in pursuit of everything from trout in little streams to marlin offshore.

      I currently own a 21’ 2004 Nitro 929 bass boat, a 14’ aluminum Jon boat, a 7’ BPS pond prowler, and a paddleboat. I also own enough rods & reels, fishing tackle, and boating supplies to open a small sporting goods store.

      I have attended numerous fishing seminars, taught by local pros such as Bill Burton, Ken Penrod, Woo Daves, and others to enhance my skills. I have fished with, and became good friends with Bill Burton and Ken Penrod.

      I enjoy working with youth, and have participated in many programs such as “Hooked On Fishing”, “Casting Kids” and am currently a fishing merit badge counselor with The Boy Scouts of America. I have volunteered my services at numerous “Casting Kids” events held at Bass Pro Shops.

      I started hunting as a young man. I have vast experience hunting for small game and waterfowl in both Maryland and Delaware.  One of my first sources of income was derived from trapping muskrats when I was a teenager. However, due to my addiction with bass fishing, my hunting activity has been minimal the past few years. I own several firearms, and have become proficient in their handling and operation. 

    I enjoy boating, hiking, camping, and just being outdoors. I have visited most federal and state parks throughout Maryland and the surrounding area. As a youth, I was active in the Boy Scouts of America. I attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and received merit badges in many outdoor activities including: Wildlife Management, Conservation, Bird Watching, Insect Life, Fishing, Marksmanship, Camping, Swimming, Lifesaving, etc. 

     Over the course of my life, I have owned and/or operated several different types of boats including cabin cruisers, runabouts, bass boats, and canoes. I have successfully completed the Maryland Basic Boater Safety Class. In 2004 I attained my U.S. Coast Guard Captain's license and in 2005 I fulfilled a long time dream of obtaining my Maryland Guide License!

      As an avid conservationist, I belong to numerous conservation organizations. I am currently the Conservation Director for the Maryland Bass Federation. I served as an appointed member of the Baltimore County Department of Recreation & Parks from 1991 until 1996.
