John Gessner•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedHighly recommend
2 Hour Family Fun Fishing on October 20, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Cooper was the best. We caught a variety of fish including a 28" redfish. He was very helpful with my novice wife and added another angler to our ranks.
Carol EilersRepeat angler•Iowa, US•Member since 20232 trips5.0VerifiedA stellar day on the water.
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 18, 2023 • 3 adultsCaptain Cooper successfully put us on fish. When one technique was not “hot,” we switched to another, which proved to be the ticket for the day. We caught trout, snapper, ladyfish, sheepshead, and catfish. Even a small Jack made it into the boat! We had the choice of keep, or catch and release, which we appreciated. Our Captain was informative about things we were seeing, and educated us about some of the fauna. When moving from place to place, Captain Cooper slowed for dolphins and other fishermen. Everyone appreciated that! We had fun, we caught fish, and we learned some things. I recommend this company, and especially Captain Cooper.
Britney Stuckey•Wisconsin, USMember since 20235.0VerifiedBest Fishing Day!
6HR Fishing Trip on January 8, 2023 • 5 adultsNick was the best fishing captain we’ve had to date. We have gone on a handful of fishing charters all around, Nick and step up was the best. Starting with the boat, we had 5 adults plus Nick and we had an abundance of space for moving around the boat and space to sit during the times the boat was moving. With our 5 lines in the water, as we caught fish or lost our shrimp Nick was there with a net or another shrimp to get our line back into the water with no time wasted. We went to numerous fishing locations around the islands to make for a full day of reeling in fish, of all species! Thank you again for an exciting, yet relaxing day on the boat. Hats off to Captain Nick!
Leah Hall•South Carolina, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedSo much fun!!
6HR Fishing Trip on June 3, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 childMy crowd had a wonderful time catching fish, seeing the sights and interacting with the dolphins during our trip. The captain was knowledgeable and knew where all the big fishing spots were. We caught a lot of fish and made lots of memories. We would do this again!
Lauren LilleyRepeat angler•Ohio, US•Member since 20244 trips5.0VerifiedGreat fishing and fun!
2 Hour Family Fun Fishing on January 3, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur family of 4 are new sea fishers and had a great time with Captain Nick. We caught a lot of fish and a good variety too! Nick was super patient with our kids and ourselves teaching us what to do and it made for a great day out on the water. Will book with him again.
Richard Dacosta•

4HR Fishing Trip on July 19, 2023 • 5 adultsSo much fun when you have a successful charter. The girls all caught their own Bonnethead sharks and the boys caught our eating fish (Pompano, Permit and Speckled Sea Trout). We also caught Ladyfish, Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper and the ever annoying Hardhead Catfish). Captain Cooper was attentive and knowledgeable. We will be making this an annual family outing for sure.
David Weade•Ohio, USMember since 20235.0Verified1/2 day morning trip
4HR Fishing Trip on March 11, 2023 • 4 adultsHad a great morning. Had 3 with me that have very little experience fishing. Captain Nick took his time to teach, help, and advise. Was very knowledgeable about his job. Yes we caught fish which always helps but would have still been successful day if we did not. Boat very clean. Equipment in good shape. Recommend for those who like us just wanted a fun day on the water.
Abbey NaylorRepeat angler•Florida, US•Member since 20224 trips5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing

Captain Kyle was extremely helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took us to several different locations and shared lots of good information about the 10,000 Islands. We caught several fish, "played" with dolphins, and enjoyed awesome music and great conversation. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much, Bonnie! We’re glad you had such an enjoyable trip with Capt. Kyle. Sounds like a great day from start to finish. We hope to have you back again!
Always a great experience with these guys - five stars all around.
We had a fun day! Caught over 50 fish. Grouper, Jack, Pompano, Whiting, Mangrove Snapper, lady fish, catfish, Grunts,
This is the kind of easy enjoyable fishing that makes for a relaxed time. Not hurried, just a refreshing outing with wildlife to observe and with fishing fun.
Thanks, Jim! We’re so glad you enjoyed some relaxing time on the water. Hope to have you back for another great outing soon!

The Native Guided Fishing team are Southwest Florida natives, meaning they practically grew up on the waters around the 10,000 Islands. They were all hooked on fishing in their youth while cruising the backwaters, discovering the riches in the creeks and rivers. The team has spent as much time as possible on the water, increasing their knowledge bit by bit. The guides like nothing more than sharing their fishing experience with others. They promote conservation in the area, and always respect local regulations, in the hope that fishing may long continue in this corner of Florida. The Native Guided Fishing team have three boats and can accommodate up to parties of 18 (6 per boat)
