Come aboard Blackwater Guide Co and experience world-class fishing down in Southwest Florida. Captain Mark Cherny is USGC licensed and insured native captain who specializes in light tackle and fly fishing in SWFL and Everglades National Park.
The captain operates an 18' Hell's Bay Boatworks skiff. This lightweight craft is perfect for navigating the shallow waters and comes powered by a 60 HP Honda engine that'll get you to the fishing spots in no time.
The water in this region of the world is plentiful with a great range of fish, which along with its nature makes it a world-class fishing ground. Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Tripletail, and Tarpon all inhabit these productive waters. Whether you're fishing on light tackle or fly fishing, Capt. Mark will always be on hand to help you and teach you new techniques if needed.
He's got a great range of fishing tackle but you're always welcome to take your own fly fishing gear along with you. Catch cleaning is also included in the price and your fishing license is also covered. Water and Gatorade are provided but feel free to bring your own drinks as well as food with you. The sun shines powerfully in this neck of the woods so take sunscreen and sunglasses along with you too.
For top of the range fly fishing in a beautiful corner of the world, there's no need to look further than Captain Mark's guided tours.

Capt. Mark worked hard to teach trout fisherman to switch to saltwater fly fishing. Not many fish the day we were with him. Not because he didn’t try, but as I talked to other fishermen, no one what catching much the day we fishing. “That’s fishing.” Hope to fish again with Capt. Mark.
The charter operator canceled 2 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
Very personable and easy to work with. Very knowledgeable and willing to work with newbie fly anglers.
Awesome guide. I had done quite a bit of fly fishing with 4wt and below rods. Captain Mark had me casting an 8wt and 11wt in no time. It is a different game with the heavier rods. He also taught me how to chose the right color fly. He also put me on a lot of fish. I hooked my fist tarpon every, he had different plans about coming to the boat and made a run South and never turned around. Best two days fishing I have had in a long time, awesome trip! Thanks Captain Mark!
