Great service at Native Guide Fishing in Goodland, FL
We had a great time fishing with Native Guide Fishing out of Goodland, FL in February 2025. We had to change our date due to weather and the team at NGF was accommodating. Our time on the water was fun - Our party of three kids and two adults caught fish and got to see a lot of the area. Would recommend NGF to anyone interested in getting out on the water around Marco Island.

Great trip for Kids and Adults!!!
This is actually our second trip with Native, this time we had the pleasure of being hosted by Captain Cooper! Thanks Cooper! Our kids learned so much and we got sooo much more from this trip than we bargained for. We’ll always book with Native if available. Dolphins while we fished, catching sharks, and great seasonal fish. Totally worth it.

Great time!
Jason was the best guide I’ve ever had! I’ve used guides for the last 20 years for all types of fishing from ice to Marco island! Fun, pleasant and just a great person. Caught fish, no keepers, but had a great day!
