Make an adventure out of your next trip in Placida/Englewood Florida and go fishing with Florida Gulf Adventures. Your guide for the day is Captain Jon, which allows you to benefit from years of fishing experience.
Around here it’s common to catch Red Drum(redfish ), Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, sharks, and more depending on the time of year. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Your trip begins aboard a 26’ Sea Hunt center console with room for 6 passengers. Everything you need for a productive day on the water is supplied. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Jon will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It’s customary to tip the Mate 15–20% to show your appreciation.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. Please bring a cooler with any Drinks and snacks you may need. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Florida Gulf Adventures!

"Had an absolute blast out on the water with Jon! He knows these waters inside and out and put us exactly where the action was. We caught a fantastic variety of fish, and Jon made sure every moment was fun and engaging. His expertise, patience, and great attitude made this an unforgettable trip. If you want a guide who genuinely delivers a top-tier experience, book with Jon. We will definitely be back!"
