Snook Hooker Fishing
Goodland, Florida
385 Angler Drive, Goodland, Florida, 34140
Looking to make incredible memories on the water? Come experience some of the best inshore fishing in Southwest Florida!
I’m Captain John Pfeiffer and I’ve been guiding anglers to big fish for more than thirty years. Let me be your host as I take you through the backwaters and pristine sanctuaries of the world famous 10,000 Islands. We’ll take you to the “secret spots” where the fish won’t be expecting us!
Depending on your location, we can depart from a number of areas such as Naples, Marco Island, Goodland, Everglades City, or Port of the Islands. Our departure times may vary to take advantage of the tide, moon phase, and wind direction.
On our charters you can expect to target Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Sharks, Jack Crevalle, and more! All trips take place on a 16′ SilverKing Skiff that accommodate up to 2 passengers.
When you fish with me, you’re fishing with family. There’s nothing quite like putting your child on the fish of a lifetime…and creating for you the bond of a lifetime. Whether you’re a seasoned angler looking for a record catch or a weekend warrior who wants to learn how to fish the back country, we can customize the trip to create your unique fishing experience.

Kicked off the new year with a great inshore run. The highlight was a 30” Snook that gave me the fight of the day. Can’t wait to go again!

Nothing better than fall fishing in the Florida backcountry. We pulled in Trout, Redfish, and a bonus Shark. Perfect trip.

Late summer fishing was hot! We boated several Snook and even got a Jack double-up. Captain John was awesome with our group.

If you want to sight fish for Snook in the backcountry, this is your guy. Crystal-clear shots, great equipment, and a total pro at the helm.

We hooked into a ton of action—Redfish, Sharks, and even a few aggressive Jacks. Great vibes and an awesome morning on the water.

Snook city! This guy knew every pocket and tidal line to fish. The skiff was perfect for sneaking into tight areas where fish were stacked.

We landed a big Tarpon early and then shifted to Trout and Redfish. John was incredibly patient and helpful with our kids too.

Couldn’t believe the fight these Snook put up! The Silverking skiff glided right into shallow water where the action was nonstop.

Great winter bite! John knows his stuff and worked hard to get us hooked up with Redfish and even a small shark near the mangroves.

This was one of the smoothest inshore trips I’ve ever taken. Captain John put us on Trout, Snook, and a surprise Tarpon. We’ll definitely be back.

Captain John is a legend on the water. We caught Snook within the first 20 minutes and followed that up with some big Redfish and Jack Crevalle. Perfect day!

Great day fishing in Goodland, FL. Captain John worked very hard despite the windy weather, we caught snook, a ladyfish, a few trout and lost a big redfish. Will be back next time we visit Goodland.
