Spend the day with 10K Adventures and find out what the fishing south of Naples is all about! Having logged thousands of days on many bodies of water and boats from 10-150', Captain Kevin will get you to the fishing grounds and back safely and without incident.
There are no guarantees in fishing, but just some of the species you can catch in the 10K Islands/Gulf of America include Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Goliath Grouper, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Pompano, Jack Crevalle, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Permit, and more.
You'll target your catch by spinning gear on mainly light tackle, or maybe something more specialized if bigger fare is encountered. You're free to bring home most of the legal fish you catch, he'll even clean and bag them for you. Heck if you're lucky he may share a recipe or two!
Your day begins aboard a well-appointed 18' Flats boat that holds up to 2 passengers plus the captain. Keeping the trip to two anglers will allow for plenty of space for everyone!
Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Live bait will be used when available, Captain may have to add a little time to the trip so he can catch fresh bait for your trip on the fly. Some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons, if you don't know what to expect, ask the Captain.
Bottled water will be available, but some other essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray) and a snack. A couple beers is cool but please don't plan on getting coming to get smashed. Cans/plastic bottles only please.
Fishing is only part of the Ten Thousand Adventures, ask about customized trips for site-seeing, island-hopping, shelling, exploring, birding or photography trips.
Please note that Port of the Islands sits in the Ten Thousand Islands and has a 3 mile "No-Wake Zone" to protect the many local manatee and will add about an hour to the trip
