Fishing Charters in the Everglades National Park. Fishing out of Chokoloskee Island Resort. Fishing the Everglades 10,000 Islands for redfish, trout, snook, tarpon, and cobia. I have 1/2 day and full day fishing charters available year round. $650. Per day, $475, 1/2 day charter. I am a native Floridian, and a 3rd generation fisherman of this area and know how to put you on fish I know if you are a happy client you will recommend me to others so I work hard to make my clients happy.
Our three day trip was full of ups and downs with a great finish. Mornings on the outside were a bust with heavy winds stirring up the wanders. Afternoons were excellent in the back country. Lots of snook and several reds. Three big snook around 36 inches and one red around 15 pounds. Our third try on the outside we spotted a large, happy pod of Tarpon. We jumped three around 70 pounds and got hooked up with a 150 pound monster. With 20 lb test line and 60lb tippit it was not really a fair fight. We got him to the boat several times and got the leader to the rod, but after 1hour and 20 mins, we made a really long distance release. Great fun.

I took a 3 hour kayaking tour with Everglades Adventure Tours, and Joel was the guide. It turned out to be a wonderful way of experiencing nature in the Everglades. We explored the Turner river. The trip was well organized, and Joel appeared to be an extremely knowledgeable guide. He helped me to see more animals and special plants. I love birds, and Joel responded very well to my interest by paying special attention to birds

Yesterday we had the pleasure of fishing with Capt Kurt from Captain Rapps Charters. Despite some strong winds and a significant drop in temperature, Capt Kurt put us on more fish than any other charter we have been on out of Chokoloskee. We caught Redfish, Black drum, sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, spotted sea trout, spanish mackerel, bluefish, Pompano, pufferfish, jack cravelle, and bonnethead sharks. We fished a variety of areas including the shallow grass flats and also the mangrove and oyster shorelines. We were a crew of 3 old guys and Capt Kurt was very patient and took extra time to make sure we were comfortable and that we were enjoying our day. Thanks so much Captain Rapps charters and Capt Kurt for a easy and memorable experience. See you next month for the next outing.

Wooten's offers unique airboat rides through 259 acres of private Everglades grasslands, swamp buggy tours through a cypress forest, and an animal sanctuary with panthers, tigers, snakes, crocodiles, and over 100 alligators. We also have hourly live gator shows between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm!
We booked the Wooten airboat tour and the swamp buggy rides with Captain Jack as a triple package. Really fun! The airboat tours were high speed rides. Capt Steve was THE MAN! Multiple 360° spinouts at high speed was the hit of the tour. Loved it. Would do it again.
The swamp buggy ride was hard to critique because there wasn't much mud, lol. What made the ride interesting as heck...was our guide Shelly. We had about twenty minutes getting to know her alone before other people got there and she was authentic, interesting and knowledgeable. Learned alot about the habitat, history and just plain trivia, which I found interesting. We lucked into seeing a wild bear on the tour. Now, I can see where some people would have questioned the value of the swamp buggy part of the tour. Shelly made it worth the price for me. To be honest, she was the type of interesting person I could share a beer with...not to mention a bear. Anyway, If Shelly wouldn't have been our guide, it wouldn't have been as interesting. Good job

Land of biological diversity, measuring 729,000 acres, combines a mix of pines, hardwoods, prairies and mangrove forests along with a variety of wildlife including White-tailed deer and Florida panther.
The "Loop and Turner" Roads provide excellent places to see wildlife. We saw lots of birds, gators, fish, turtles, and other stuff. During our visit there was something like 25 alligators in a ditch in front of the Big Cypress visitor center. There is a abundance of wild life here. It's also super cool to see a cypress swamp. My favorite place in the whole are is the Sweet Water Strand. Another neat thing about this area is that there aren't many people around.

Escape Naples' dazzling pace of development for a day and spend a lazy afternoon exploring the history of nearby Everglades City. Once accessible only by boat, this remote frontier trading town took an ambitious new turn in 1923 as the hub of Barron Collier's personal Southwest Florida real estate empire - with a population of fewer than twelve families. First opened in 1927 as a commercial laundry, today's Museum of the Everglades dates back to a time when construction of the famous Tamiami Trail was well underway and the tiny settlement of Everglades served as the first County seat. The museum's permanent and rotating exhibits provide visitors with an in-depth look at over 2,000 years of human history in the area and tell the story of those adventurous enough - and stubborn enough - to settle Southwest Florida's lush "River of Grass." Faithfully restored to its original, 1920s Collier-era appearance, the museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is located 35 miles east of downtown Naples.
Now owned by the County, this small museum is very well done. We enjoyed the exhibits, giving us a sense of the history of this remote outpost, the jumping off spot for construction of Alligator Alley construction from there to Miami. Fascinating to learn how local heroes fought to stop killing of beautiful rare birds for their feathers. Don’t skip this very informative museum.

Fish the South Florida Everglades Enjoy world class fishing in the Everglades National Park, located in Chocoloskee, Florida. From the beginner to the most experienced angler, there is something for everyone. From fly fishing the shallow flats for Snook, Redfish and Tarpon, to fishing offshore for Permit, Cobia, Sharks and Grouper. Contact Captain Bruce anytime day or night to book your charter.
If it was fishing or sightseeing tour for us, I would rate it better, bur since we wanted photo tour it did not work very well, Captain has amazing pictures on his website, but unfortunately it does not mean you would have opportunity to shoot something similar, Birds were mostly too far away to capture them right. There is no aligators at this part of the park. Still, I do recommend this trip - it was quite an experience to get up early in the morning and to stay on the water in Everglades, enjoying the air and the views. The boat is very well kept and captain is a nice person. As for a boat tour - 5 star experience. As a photo tour - unfortunately, it did not work very well

When you come fishing with Capt Ray you are getting an experienced native with over 35 years of experience on the water, along with a trip you will never forgot.
I went out with capt Ray and I was just expecting to go out and catch some redfish and snook. But the charter I experienced was completely different we were able to catch,around 15 redfish and 10 snook within the first couple hrs, after we were done with that we caught around 25 tripletail and on top of that jigged for trout later in the afternoon and limited out of that. If you want constant action and a captain that will work till the day is over trying to get you fish, you need to go with capt Ray
