Based out of Naples, Tango Down Fishing is your ticket to a memorable time inshore and in the backcountry of Florida’s Paradise Coast.

Capt. "Duke" aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using the technique of choice fly fishing, spin fishing, jigging, and popping. You’re looking at 4-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Tarpon, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your adventure begins on board a custom 18’ Beavertail Skiff that can fit a maximum of 2 anglers. This skiff is designed to reach the shallowest water allowing the captain to find feeding fish from a polling tower.  It is however outfitted with a wireless trolling motor. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

The price of your trip also includes complimentary water but you’re welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.
