What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Naples, Florida for the first time?

Book a Charter with Dreamaker and Sean will take all the worry out of a great fishing trip. Targeted or multi species let Sean's experience work for you.

Yes! Captain Bill also provided a small cooler with ice and waters as well as life jackets for our younger crew member (7 y/o). The kids had a blast!

Weather can change weekly, I was lucky and had stable warm weather. Have realistic expectations, if your looking for a big bite, wait a couple more months. We caught plenty and had a blast.

If you want good scenery along with the fishing go south at least to the Rookery Bay Area or south of Marco Island.

The cold weather makes the big fish more difficult to catch I reckon. That said, the variety was great with 15 or so different fish in two days.

Live bait seemed to help immensely so end the day on a positive note by saving the live bait for last. Chartering a boat will definitely help in locating good locations to fish.

Be flexible if you can, the weather can be a bit dodgy- we had a front move in and Sean worked with us to rescheduled and we got a great day on the water.

Don't do it, buy a rod and reel and fish in a lake on a golf course or a canal. Inshore fishing is shit.

The water is a little cold for the fish so you might not catch a lot of fish that swim in the middle or top mainly bottom feeding fish

The inland fishing is great. No concern about water conditions. Lots of action catching fish. No trophies, but constant.

Lots of sunscreen and a little bit of patience. Enjoy your get away out on the water with good company.

All anglers please do not hesitate to book your next trip with Todd and The guys at cross em off charters! Such a great experience Thank you Todd and Josh

We did 4 hour trip. Definitely would recommend 8 hour trip to give for more fishing time. The trip was good for being 4 hours though.

First time trip was great! Captain answered a million questions from us and hooked us up throughout the day!

Jason is a great Captain for an outing with inexperienced fishermen. He is helpful, patient, and very knowledgeable.

Be patient and listen to the advice your captain has to say even if your an experienced angler there is something always to learn especially locations and conditions during the times your out.

Schedule a trip on the water. It is a great time. Family fun. Make sure to apply sunscreen. Listen to the captain.

Water was cool because of lower temps and it was windy, but we still had a great time and caught plenty of fish!

Smokin Hooks kept us on a variety of fish all morning. Filleted the fish, put em on ice and had them cook ready when we left.

Absolutely! Calm waters, abundant wildlife (manatees, dolphins, ospreys) and plenty of fish species to catch regardless of tide

We could have stayed and kept fishing for grouper but the boy and I wanted a chance for the "big" one. Even the bait fish were a blast to catch.

It was a little choppy out so if you get sea sick and it’s a windy day then bring some medicine but it was a lot of fun.

You’ll always catch something off of Naples but trophy fish are going to be easier to catch inshore during the colder months.

I July it’s hit or miss on the weather been coming down for the last 20 years this year was very hot but better than rain. My family still had a great time

Try this guy he was very good about putting on u on fish and very knowledgeable. We caught tons of sharks.

Find out what is in season before you go and see if it is worth it. We had fun but the big ones we caught were not in season.

Book an all day fishing charter. It will really give you the opportunity to catch those fish that are on your list.

It's fishing so understand that you might not get the fish that want but just enjoy the experience.

My husband fishes often. This was a surprise trip planned by me - his wife - and he was happy with the experience.

Talk to you Capt. Get to know what to expect. Fish are fish... They either bite, or swim by. Trust the Capt. To put you on fish that are biting.
