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!

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.
