Phillip Pica

Member since July 2023 Naples, United States

Background: I started running charters in the 1980s. The feeling it gave me showing people all our area has to offer was addictive, and knowing I could provide anglers with memories they would have for a lifetime got me hooked! The look on someone’s face after catching their first Tarpon or Permit is priceless!
Techniques: We generally fish light tackle spin tackle , although we carry an assortment of tackle because you never know what you’ll run into out there

Tarpon and Permit update

May 19, 2025 Naples

Tarpon and Permit fishing is on! The last few days the bait schools have pushed in and the saying find the bait and you find the fish is sure accurate ! After waiting all spring and a colder winter the have arrived , oh by the way the wind is finally calming down!

Test your skills with shallow water grou

Fishing less than 20’ of water for these gag grouper will test your skills ,

Permit are back Cobia too

Feb 9, 2024 Naples

Good Permit bite last few trips, along with Cobia and real nice Sheephead makes up most of the bycatch right now, live bait a must

Cobia and permit and tarpon

Jan 26, 2024 Naples

The cobia and permit fishing is been hot between these cold fronts along with snapper , lanes and mangrove, and ran across a nice school of early tarpon. Even on the worse days as long as the wind isnt to bad the offshore sheephead fishing has started 3 to 5 lb so far is common , (not the same fish as the ones in the lake up north) .
