Trips will be designed around weather and tide conditions that change daily to get the best chances to catch our target species. Target species include snook, redfish and tarpon with opportunities for tripletail, black drum, speckled trout, and others. Trip times are half day (4 hours), 3/4 day (6 hours), and full day (8 hours). Full days typically launch first thing in the morning then fish the entire tide cycle while a half day can be adjusted based on conditions. Sight fishing is the objective of a day's trip. I remain on the poling platform and position the boat for you to get the perfect cast at the unsuspecting fish. Fly and light tackle artificial are the techniques used for this, no live bait will be present. The perfect presentation and feeding the fish make for an unforgettable experience. Trips are typically run out of Goodland Boat Park year round. Trips can be run out of Outdoor Resorts in Chokoloskee or Cocohatchee Marina in North Naples upon request depending on target species and time of year. Redfish and snook can be caught year round while tarpon and tripletail are more seasonal.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

    Jack was awesome to work with. We had bad weather and he went out of his way to reschedule and get us to the best fishing spots. Very laid back and helpful. He gave us great insight and tips for the local area.

    Holly H. with Jack S. of Fort Myers, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We had an outstanding fishing trip with Captain Jack, and caught our target species at the first location of the day. In my experience this is rare. The snook were big, hungry, and plentiful. My son and his friend were astounded by the 30 inch snook's ability to fight. We had a great time, and I highly recommend Jack.

    Paul T. with Jack S. of Fort Myers, Florida

    Captain Jack was right on time & immediately ready to go. We were fishing within 30 minutes more or less. He was very helpful and attentive. No complaints from us. Thanks - MW

    Matthew W. with Jack S. of Fort Myers, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brandon was an awesome fishing guide! We have a 7 & 8 year and they have always wanted to catch a shark when we take fishing excursions. So this time I booked with Captain Brandon just for that reason. We landed some great bull sharks and had a great time. Capt. Brandon was also amazing with our kids. Since there is some waiting involved when fishing for sharks, he made the time enjoyable by being so engaged with our kids which I know they appreciated. I would highly recommend Capt. Brandon as a fishing guide and plan to book with him again.
