About Your Trip

Fish the wild, productive waters of Chokoloskee, Everglades National Park, and the Ten Thousand Islands on a trip built around variety, exploration, and staying on fish. This is classic Southwest Florida backcountry fishing—winding mangroves, open bays, shallow flats, and endless water to explore.

Trips are available in 4, 6, or 8-hour options, giving you the flexibility to match your schedule and how much time you want on the water. The focus is on targeting inshore favorites like Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Trout, with opportunities at Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, Black Drum, and even Gag Grouper depending on conditions and season.

You’ll be fishing using a mix of light tackle, spinning, jigging, popping, and drift fishing, adjusting throughout the day to stay on the bite. Whether you’re working mangrove shorelines, drifting flats, or fishing deeper structure, the goal is to keep things active and productive.

For those looking to mix it up, freshwater trips are also available on Lake Trafford and Lake Okeechobee, targeting Crappie and Catfish—a great option when conditions line up or if you want a different kind of day on the water.

You’ll be fishing from a 23’ modified deck boat powered by a Yamaha engine and equipped with GPS, fishfinder, and a live bait well—perfect for navigating shallow backcountry waters comfortably.

All gear is included—rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and your fishing license—and your catch will be cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip. You’re welcome to bring your own food and drinks to stay comfortable throughout the day.

This is a fun, flexible trip suited for families, friends, and anglers of all experience levels looking to experience one of Florida’s most unique fisheries.
