Ana Banana Fishing - Fountain

Ana Banana Fishing Company guarantees a fun and exciting day out for any guest who comes. Captain Joel and his family are all fishing enthusiasts who will definitely show you a good time and put you on great fish. Captain Joel has been on the water for 35 years and has won many fishing tournaments.

The boat is a 38’ Fountain which was built in 2010 and is powered by three 300HP Evinrude motors. It is a fast and reliable vessel to take you on your fishing adventure. The boat features a Fishfinder which is essential for locating premium fishing spots, GPS, VHF radio, and a Radar, so you can feel at ease no matter how far offshore you travel.

Since Ana Banana Fishing Company are such fish-fanatics and are thoroughly familiar with the waters of Florida, they will be able to point you to the best species available in season. On your inshore and nearshore trips you will be able to catch the famous Red Snapper (if in season), Snook, and a variety of Grouper. You’ll also have the chance to catch Jack Crevalle, King and Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, and Shark.

All the fishing gear is provided; the bait is caught on the morning of your fishing excursion and the crew are equipped with various fishing techniques they can also teach you. So, don’t miss to leave a tip for the first mate - he works for tips and gives his best to help you!

Now all you have to do is find a trip to your liking, block out a day in the captain’s calendar, get your group together, and enjoy your next adventure on the water!

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days per year, and he loves every minute of it. This very experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He's a native of Florida and has traveled the world over for fish. He used to be a child psychologist for 20 years and focused on childhood grief issues and grief counseling. He's also a co-creator of two published kids' books. Captain Joel loves acquainting his guests with the most epic fish, which he believes are exactly where he is from – the Gulf of Mexico!
