If you're looking for an enjoyable fishing trip with enough flexibility to let you target whichever fish you'd like, Fast Cast Fishing is the best choice! Based in Bokeelia, Captain Lou Silva has been fishing the area for the past 10 years, and he'll take you to his favorite fishing spots.

You'll head out on these beautiful waters on his brand new 25' Pathfinder center console boat. It can accommodate up to 4 people, so it's great for an adventure with friends. The boat can get pretty fast, so it'll take you to the fishing grounds in no time. It also features a wireless trolling motor, so you can sneak up on those fearful specimens.

Capt. Lou will provide you with the latest Shimano fishing gear, and all the bait you'll need on your trip. If you're up for making dinner upon your return, the captain will be happy to clean and fillet your catch for you. Depending on what you'd like to do, there's a variety of trips to choose from.

In shallower waters, reel in some Redfish and Snook, or head further out and target creatures like Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Barracuda, and Amberjack. You can choose one of the specialized trips, and target specifically Shark, or Goliath Grouper. You can also try to reel in the ultimate inshore sport fish – the Silver King!

Make sure to bring some food and drinks for your refreshment, and some sun protection so you can fully enjoy your day.

Choose a package that speaks to you most, and join Fast Cast Fishing for your chance to explore the productive waters of the Gulf of Mexico!

What a trip!
Nearshore Fishing (6 hour) on December 29, 20254 adults

Captain Lou had us on the fish all day. We didn’t even get to eat our lunches because there was no time to take a break. Well worth the long trip from Charleston. Highlight was a 42” Cobia we weren’t expecting. Aiden was on his game as first mate and kept the action moving all day. Highly recommend!!

Captain Lou is a true professional! He put us on fish despite the rainy weather that wasn't supposed to happen. He is knowledgeable and respectful of the fishery. Great tunes on board and no stress. I highly recommend Captain Lou for your next adventure!
