Native Guided Fishing

Goodland, United States

250+ reviews

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)

Great Guide and Patience
6 Hour Fishing Trip on October 9, 2026 • 2 adults
Kyle was the most patient guide we have seen yet. He was on top of everything all day and always had bait or new tackle ready to go for when we got stuck in the mangroves. Great teacher for my son.

Perfect Day on the Water with Captain Nick!
3 Hour Fishing and Sightseeing on November 25, 2025 • 6 adults
We had an absolutely fantastic time on our fishing charter with Captain Nick! We caught multiple species of fish, and he told us a lot about the area and different species of fish. It was the perfect blend of fishing and sightseeing, and we loved every minute of it. The whole family had a blast, and we’re already talking about booking another trip. Highly recommend!

Great boat, excellent equipment, challenging conditions, but he still put us on fish, even a couple of keepers. Very quick and courteous captain.

Our most enjoyable fishing excursion+
3HR Fishing and Sightseeing on February 17, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Kyle was extremely helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took us to several different locations and shared lots of good information about the 10,000 Islands. We caught several fish, "played" with dolphins, and enjoyed awesome music and great conversation. Highly recommend!
