Exploring Naples' Waterways

It’s January and the high of the day is 75° (cue “Sunny and 75” by Joe Nichols) and the sky has not one single cloud in it. You’re waking up in Naples, Florida and your day is ready to start. Luckily you’ve already done your research and you have booked yourself a salt water adventure.

Naples Salt Water Fishing is owned and operated by Captain Tony. Tony is a Naples local having been born and raised on the water. He grew up fishing the Gulf and pursued his passion as a charter guide for the last 10 years by starting Naples Salt Water Fishing.

“My clients should look forward to a great day on the water. We catch fish, share some laughs, and I try to teach them a few things about fishing and local wildlife.” Captain Tony said during an interview.

He recommends that if you want to target a certain fish species that you talk with him about it before the trip. He can then let you know the best time for each fish.

“For instance snook and tarpon bite best in the spring and summer. If it was redfish they were after then fall is generally most productive.”

Captain Tony offers charters for half day and full day (4 or 6+ hours). A half day charter is what he recommends for the novice and moderate anglers, (and even for the kids!). For the more serious anglers, he prefers to book the 6+ hour charter in order to target the different species and cover more sea.

When planning this adventure Captain Tony says that 1-3 anglers is the perfect amount of people for a charter (so choose wisely!), but max capacity allows 4.
