Great service at Native Guide Fishing in Goodland, FL
Fishing and Sightseeing Combo (AM) on February 25, 2025
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.

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.

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!

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)
