trip description for Naples Backcountry Trip in Naples

Captain Phil offers backwater fishing adventures for the entire family and for serious anglers. Backwater fishing excursions can be day or night trips, fishing from Naples Bay to 10,000 Islands to Everglades National Park, for tarpon, snook, trout, pompano, tripletail, sharks, and more. You'll be headed out aboard Captain Phil's 24′ Avenger bay boat, which comfortably seats up to 6 people, with a t-top to shade you from the incessant South Florida Sun. Children and Pets are always welcome! Captain Phil will provide all the fishing gear (rods, reels, tackle, bait), fishing licenses, water, ice. Anything else you’d like to eat or drink you should bring along with you. Though there is usually ample room in our onboard coolers, you may bring a small cooler for your provisions if you’d prefer. You can also bring your own fishing gear if you'd like. In the summer months, it's gonna be hot, but long-sleeved shirts are highly recommended to protect you from the sun, especially utilizing anti-UV protective clothing. Captain Phil suggests sunblock, polarized sunglasses, and a hat. Shoes should be made for wet surfaces. Plan on memorable moments so brings your favorite camera. No handheld GPS devices are allowed on board, thank you! Read More

Climb aboard with Captain Brandon and experience an action-packed day of bay fishing around Naples and 10k Islands! Captain Brandon has been fishing these waters since he could talk and knows how the fish think in this area. You can expect to target Redfish, and Speckled Trout, Snook, Tarpon, and Black Drum. Occasionally Captain Brandon will target Goliath Grouper as well if you're looking to test your strength against the biggest fish you can find inshore! Captain Brandon likes to use live bait, cut bait, and, on some occasions, lures to attract the best and biggest fish. For these trips, Captain Brandon uses his 26’ Sea Chaser center console that provides a wide, spacious, and stable deck that will serve as your fishing platform. The vessel can accommodate up to 6 anglers and have them fishing at the same time. Captain Brandon will provide everything you need for a productive day on the water. He will have an icebox for your day’s catch as well as rods, reels, bait, and tackle and will cover your fishing licenses and fish cleaning! All you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks and get ready to fight some fish. Come on down and make some memories with Captain Brandon! Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

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.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Edwin was a great Captain. He was very easy to get along with and very knowledgeable with fishing and where to go to find great fishing spots. He was a pleasure to spend six hours with. I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to seeing him again soon.

    Todd M. with Edwin E. of Naples, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain was very nice, he rigged all of the poles and took us to lots of different locations trying to find fish. Used all kinds of bait, gave us pointers, but because of a tropical storm the week before the fish just were not biting.

    Bobby H. with Richard T. of Fort Myers Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    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

    This was exactly the fishing fun we needed for our super spur of the moment trip with a teenaged kid that wanted to catch fish in Florida. Lots of different species, super friendly contain and never a dull moment. It helped that the weather was great and we caught lots of fish.

    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.
