Our Target Species
-
Snook
-
Tarpon
-
Redfish
We fish for a variety of species in The Everglades: Sea-Trout, Cobia, Triple-tail, Bonita, Sharks, Jack Crevelle. Our primary targets are Tarpon, Snook and Redfish. Those are the top three with Tarpon and Snook holding the crown for two of the trophy targets here in the glades. I will never pass on a school of Jacks or blitzing Bonita however a trophy Snook or Tarpon hold all the glory and rightfully so– people travel from all over the globe to step foot in the arena of some of the best Tarpon and Snook fishing on this planet here in the park.

Local Knowledge
As a native fishing guide, Captain Paul has a huge advantage over other guides. Growing up fishing these areas and keeping extensive log books continues to be a formula of success, time on the water is key.
World Class Angling
Trophy tarpon, snook and redfish are our game! Everyday is different, but the one thing that remains consistent is the world class angling the everglades provides on a daily basis with its untouched wilderness.

Testimonials
Paul is as passionate as they come about fishing and the everglades in general, a family man with two children, Paul not only is a great, hard working guide he is a great man to spend the day on the skiff having conversation with. I have fished with him in Boca Grande and The Everglades and always look forward to our adventures!
-Austin, Denver CO
Captain Paul is top notch. We did a beach and backcountry charter with him in June and the fishing was absolutely spectacular. He is a very friendly guide which is rare and we have been coming to Naples for many years. If you are in the area, you must experience The Everglades with Captain Paul.
-David Nader, Boston MA.
My wife and I went out with Captain Paul at sunrise. Not only did we catch a TON of fish, but we saw some incredible scenery and had a great morning on the water. We plan on coming back next year and calling Captain Paul to see what else there is to see around these barrier islands.
