REEL FUNDS Fishing Charters

Naples, United States
250+ reviews
I am a second-generation charter captain. Born into a charter fishing family. I have been working on charter boats for over 30 years. Started out as mate, then, at 18, I got my captain's license and started running charters. I am a full-time fishing guide. Fishing is what I love to do. We specialize in Grouper and Snapper but catch everything that swims in the Gulf throughout the year. Nothing makes me happier than guiding clients on a trip of a lifetime. I have a track record of consistently putting fish in the boat. We also take pride in keeping our boat and equipment in top shape so that we can catch that fish of a lifetime when it bites. If having a good time and catching a bunch of fish sounds like fun give us a try you won't be disappointed.

    Lots of action.

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Lots of activity. Captain Joe knows where the fish live. We were catching fish all day. We caught a huge Goliath Grouper and an Amber Jack. Had a shark hooked but he chewed through the line. Also had some other large fish hooked but they got away. Needless to say, we were busy all day.

    Reported catch:
    Goliath Grouper
    Red Grouper
    Response from Charter operator

    Thanks Mark. Glad you guys had a good time.
