Steady Fishing Charters
+22When it comes to fishing in the Everglades, Steady Fishing Charters’ name says it all! And steady is what you’re gonna get.
Join Captain Travis, who’s been fishing the Everglades his whole life. As a 4th generation fisherman, he’s seen all that these backcountry and creeks have to offer and knows how to use them best.
Fish aboard a 24’ Skeeter boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. She’s powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and features navigational electronics and a live bait tank. There’s a bimini to keep you in shade and lots of storage space for your belongings.
You’ll explore local inshore and backcountry waters, with your main targets being Tripletail, Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Snapper, and more. As no fish is the same, you’ll use different techniques to catch them and see which one works best. Catching fish is only half the fun. After the trip, your captain will clean your catch, so you can count on a tasty meal, be it at a restaurant or at your home.
Capt. Travis recommends bringing snacks and food, which you can store in the cooler. Your fishing equipment is fully covered. Children 6 and under are required to wear USCG approved life jackets, which your guide provides, but for the comfort of the children, it’s recommended bringing your own.
A day of fishing with Steady Fishing Charters, Capt. Travis asks only one thing - to have lots of fun.

Fishing Everglades with Captain Travis
Full Day Trip on March 13, 2021
Very easy to book and Captain Travis very pleasant to set up the trip. My main goal was for my wife to have a good time and experience some “hands-on” of what the Everglades has to offer. We seemed to get off to a bit of a slow start because Captain Travis insisted on procuring the right bait. Boy did that extra work pay off though. Correct bait and Captain’s knowledge of local tide characteristics put us on the bite. It seemed like we were catching more fish than everyone else. Plenty of snook and sizable Redfish. Captain Travis delivered just what we asked for. He even recommended a restaurant to cook fresh caught fish - delicious. Best day of our Florida trip!!

Capt. Travis - The Best
Half Day Trip on January 10, 2022
Two retired couples spent a wonderful half day trip with Travis. Besides being well versed in the area and fishing, he shared interesting knowledge about the environment and wildlife. We caught 17 fish of all sorts. It was relaxing, exciting and totally worthwhile. It’s our hope to return next year and give Travis a call.

Capt Travis was a great guide that worked hard to keep us on the fish. We caught multiple species and was even able to keep enough for dinner. Thank you Travis.

Your captain
Everglades City, Florida, United States
I myself have had the pleasure of growing up here in Everglades City born and raised as a 4th generation fisherman. I have been fishing my whole life from fishing the backcountry and creeks of the Glades as a very young boy with my grandfather to fishing the nearshores of the Gulf both recreationally and commercially. When you come for a day of fishing the only thing I ask is that you have fun and of course catch fish and by the end of the day I like my clients to be my friends.
