Native Guided Fishing

Member since September 2019 Goodland, United States
Background
The Native Guided Fishing team are Southwest Florida natives, meaning they practically grew up on the waters around the 10,000 Islands. They were all hooked on fishing in their youth while cruising the backwaters, discovering the riches in the creeks and rivers. The team has spent as much time as possible on the water, increasing their knowledge bit by bit. The guides like nothing more than sharing their fishing experience with others. They promote conservation in the area, and always respect local regulations, in the hope that fishing may long continue in this corner of Florida. The Native Guided Fishing team have three boats and can accommodate up to parties of 18 (6 per boat)
Techniques
Fishing with live bait has always been one of my favorite and most effective approaches to finding some of the most allusive and sought after species this region of Florida has to offer. Along with fishing with live baits, artificial jigs can be productive and a fun way to get the lines tight on that trophy catch.
