Night Fishing
(4 Hours)

$650.00 USD

Starts at: 05:00 PM

Duration: 4 hours

Looking to fish after dark? While live bait and trophy hunting can yield great results, I prefer heading out with ultra-light gear and tossing tiny Yozuri minnows at the lights.

This finesse style of fishing truly tests your casting skills in the dark, but the excitement you’ll feel when a snook, trout, or redfish zooms in behind your lure is unmatched! We typically average 10-20 fish each night, and there’s always the chance to hook into something big.

The listed price covers up to 3 people, with an additional $50 for each extra person (up to 6 total).

A beautiful day on the water. Captain Tim got us on schools of Trout and Snook quickly, and we stayed busy all day.

Fishing was red hot! Caught Redfish after Redfish along with a few Tarpon rolling through. Couldn’t ask for more.

Tim knows these waters like the back of his hand. We landed multiple Trout and even a big Cobia nearshore.

Such an incredible Naples experience. The scenery was beautiful, and the fishing was non-stop action from start to finish.

This was hands-down one of the best charters I’ve been on. The 24’ boat was perfect and we brought home a cooler full of Snapper.

Captain Tim knows the best spots for the biggest fish I have ever seen! He also keeps the vibes high whether the fishing is fast or slow he always keeps everything upbeat and positive.

Great day with Captain Tim, ran into a lil storm at the start but he was calm and got us to safety very fast, we waited out the storm and he went straight the right spots to catch fish! He gave us extra time since some of it was spent under cover due to the storm, very professional Captain and clean boat.

Captain Tim is great! He put us on the fish every spot we went to, he is also very patient with kids, he taught my 8 and 11 year old sons how to reel in every fish we got on the hook!

Words cannot describe how happy I am with this charter. I took my 10 year old son who has never been fishing in the ocean and Tim was extremely patient and taught us everything we needed to know, caught every fish off of my sons "wish list of fish he wanted to catch"

I have been fishing with Captain Tim on 4 different occasions (there will be many more over time) he is the best Captain I have ever had the pleasure of fishing alongside, we caught over 10 Snook mostly over 35" and a few over 40".

Great day with Captain Tim, he was very professional and patient. He changed lines, baited hooks, fought off some sea gulls, and made sure we caught loads of fish, for an action packed day. Worth every penny.

My wife and I decided to go on a trip with our grandsons, they are 10 and 7 with not a ton of fishing experience, the Captain was very easy going and had lots of patience, they really know how to handle people of all ages and levels of experience.
