Excited to go fishing in Naples? That’s what Phillip Pica Charters is here for! Capt Phil Pica has been fishing the waters from Boca Grande to the Florida Keys for 40 years, and his mission is to give his clients the most productive and enjoyable day on the water possible. He really knows what he’s doing!
  “Ive been doing this a long time and im very good at it , you can always count on me giving you the truth on whats going on out there unlike some that will go in any conditions if i feel that its going to be tough im going to let you know and give you the option to rebook”

These waters are known for Cobia, Gag Grouper, Permit, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Snook, Tarpon, and more. You’ll target your catch by spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 30’ Offshore sport fishing with room for 4passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, Live bait is included, as well as bottled water Kids are welcome on board.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Ask, and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t forget to bring snacks, a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be a cooler with ice and bottled water for you, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Phillip Pica Charters is just a click away.

Night shark fishing

So much fun would definitely recommend

VERIFIED

me and a buddy who are used to bass fishing in east Tn decided to do the night shark fishing charter and had an absolute blast. We caught about 5 or 6 sharks with the biggest one being 7ft which put up a hell of a fight and was very fun. Even got to take one home and grill it which was absolutely delicious. Captain Pica was an awesome dude, we had some awesome conversations and he set us up with everything we needed. We had an overall awesome time 10/10 worth the money and would recommend
