If you want a redfish, now is the time for fishing in Naples! Redfish of all sizes, from giant over-slot fish to keepers, and even the little pups, are biting all over the mangroves around Naples. As the waters have cooled, we haven't had to resort to cut bait to sit and wait for them either. They are happily eating live pilchards, which are easily caught with the cast net at the start of the trip. One keeper redfish can feed several people, and they are highly regarded...
If you want a redfish, now is the time for fishing in Naples! Redfish of all sizes, from giant over-slot fish to keepers, and even the little pups, are biting all over the mangroves around Naples. As the waters have cooled, we haven't had to resort to cut bait to sit and wait for them either. They are happily eating live pilchards, which are easily caught with the cast net at the start of the trip. One keeper redfish can feed several people, and they are highly regarded tablefare blacked or grilled on the 'half shell'.
In addition to redfish, the snook, mangrove snapper, jack crevalle, and fun-sized tarpon are actively feeding on the pilchards too, which keeps the fishing trip totally busy.
The snook have been running from the small fun-to-catch sizes to the big line-ripping escape wizards of the mangroves. October means snook season is in full swing, so any slot snook is fair game for the table! And anyone who knows, knows! Snook are one of the finest eating fish in all of Florida!
Mangrove fishing in October is also red hot! We are routinely bringing back a dozen or more big fat keeper mangrove snapper on every charter. These feisty fighters are also considered to be one of the best eating fish in the sea as well, and are great blackened or fried.
The fun-sized tarpon seem to be everywhere right now, and provide some of the most explosive excitement of the day, anytime we hook one.

Kevin is a great guide. Very knowledgeable of the area waters and a genuine pleasure to talk to. He put us on the fish in no time and we caught our limit of snapper along with a bonus snook and jackfish. I highly recommend him for your choice.

Wonderful Trip! First charter we have ever been on and couldn't have asked for a better morning! Captain Tim is 10/10 guide, knew the perfect spots to be, great at coaching, and great taste in music. Tim cleaned the fish for us and everything. Will 100% be booking with Captain Tim again.

Captain Troy was fantastic!!!! He got us on tons of fish. First time deep sea fishing and what an experience!!!! All four of us hooked onto mahi mahi at the same time and were so excited!! Dereck, the first mate absolutely worked his tail off keeping bait on all lines and helping us haul in allllll the fish!!!! We caught black fun tuna, mahi, and even a wahoo! Banner day, couldn't have asked for a better fishimg charter. If you dont wanna be disappointed book Capt Troy and the Miller Time boat!!

What an awesome experience. Kevin is fantastic! He knew the water and the fish and we had an amazing experience. Caught snapper, ladyfish, jack, snook, and even pivoted quickly to a lemon shark when we knew one was near by. It was a memorable adventure and I would highly recommend Kevin! Kevin also knew the area well and we went to the Lazy Lobster to have our catch cooked. So much fun! Thank you Kevin!
