Based in the world-famous fishing destination of Naples, Florida, Captain Brian and his team of professional Captains at Smokin' Hooks Fishing Charters offer saltwater fishing adventures in and around the famous Wiggins Pass that leads from Estero Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.

Smokin' Hooks features a fleet of two Parker boats that are well-suited to offshore and nearshore fishing trips. At 30ft our Parker Walkarounds are just right for tackling choppier seas while still being able to fish closer to shore effectively. Both boats feature well-maintained 300 HP four stroke Yamaha engines to make sure you reach the fishing grounds in a snap. There is plenty of protection from the weather conditions, up-to-date marine electronics, and a live bait tank will make sure you get on the fish. Most importantly, there is plenty of deck space for up to six passengers and our vessels are rigged for comfortable fishing – not your backwater-style smaller boat. Smokin' Hooks operates two Parker vessels so please message for availability on how to book both boats for groups with 7-12 passengers ,for a fish off between your Family.Also, check out Smokin' Hooks II for additional available times!

Smokin' Hooks target pretty much all the fish that inhabit the waters within nine miles of the SW Floridian coastline. Whether you're hoping to hook a tasty Mangrove Snapper or Cobia or fight a Barracuda, King Mackerel, or Shark, Captain Brian, Captain William and Captain Tyler have the experience necessary to provide an exciting, fun, and action-packed adventure. All fishing experience levels are catered to, from the most experienced angler to the first-timer or family group.

Your charter trip will include fishing licenses for everyone in your group, as well as custom rods and reels, and bait. Ice and bottled water are also provided, you can bring any food and drinks you might want during the trip. Your catch will also be filleted, bagged, and iced for you at the end of the trip.

Great fishing trip!
4 Hour - AM Adventure on July 16, 20263 adults3 children

Trip was fantastic, and the kids had an amazing time! Captain Brian was awesome—friendly, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. My 11-year-old daughter and I caught a big flounder as our second fish of the day, which was definitely a highlight of the trip. Captain Brian worked to put us on fish, and after the trip he cleaned and filleted our catch, which made it even better. He made the entire experience fun and memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

A nice day out on the water with my family
4 Hour Trip on March 31, 20263 adults1 child

The trip mainly focuses on reef fish, grouper, snapper, grunts etc. we caught several of these species and three keeper Grunts. CPT. William was very easy going and a joy to fish with. He made sure we had a good time and was very helpful with my 10 yr old who was anxious about the trip. While we didn't "catch the big one" my family enjoyed our time with CPT. William and the day out, my youngest said it was his favorite fishing trip ever. I would highly recommend the 4 hour trip for families with kids or people just wanting to fish, catch lunch and enjoy a day out in the water.

Reported catch:
Red Grouper
Smokin' Hooks
Response from Charter operator

he told me about things and said how much he enjoyed your family. Can’t wait to see you again, tight lines.
