REEL FUNDS Fishing Charters

Member since September 2019 Naples, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
Light Tackle, Live Bait , Chum , Ship wreck fishing , big tackle , bottom fishing , artificial lures , Trophy target trips
