Fishing Charter Info
I’m captain Tony, your guide to fishing the backcountry and coastal waters of Naples, Florida. I specialize in light tackle, live-bait fishing of the inshore and near shore waters of Naples and the surrounding area. My clients and I commonly pursue Tarpon, Snook and Redfish, which are abundant in Naples. Above all, I genuinely love to fish and would like you to join me.
Nearshore Fishing
Fishing the nearshore waters of Naples, Florida can be insanely action packed. We commonly fish for Gag Grouper, Snapper, Goliath Grouper, Kingfish and more. The fish are usually big, fast, and hungry.
Tarpon Fishing
With screaming runs, huge jumps, and throbbing head shakes, they are the most exciting fish around. Tarpon season peaks from mid May to July, and again in September to mid November. Space is limited so call and book today!
Backcountry Fishing
Backcountry fishing in Naples, Florida is world class. Fishing the vast backcountry involves casting live-bait to mangrove shorelines, docks, and anywhere else the fish are hiding. We commonly catch small Tarpon, Snook and Redfish, as well as a variety of other gamefish.
Captain Tony Fontana
Your Naples Fishing Charter will be exciting. In order to survive in saltwater, the fish must be strong, versatile and adaptive. As the anglers who pursue these fish, we must be the same. The fish are in Naples...are you up for the challenge? Call 239-280-6246 or email me to book a trip today!

Naples fishing Report
The trout fishing has been getting strong as the weather finally cools down. My clients have been trowing jigs and shrimp and producing nice catches of trout and pompano. On the right tide the redfishing has also remained good. Shrimp under a popping cork has been key for redfish. Nearshore there is still a good [...]
December action
This december has been extremely warm. The snook fishing has still been good along with redfish trout and pompano. Live whitebait fished near the mangroves under a popping cork has been the ticket. The nearshore action has also remained strong with bonita, triple tail and snapper still eager to bite. If the warm trend continues [...]
November Action
Fall fishing here in Naples is at its peak. There are plenty of snook and reds around as well as some very nice sea trout. A mix of whitebait and live shrimp fished under a popping cork have been very effective. Above is a nice trout Gene caught on an afternoon outing in the mangroves. [...]
Triple Tail, Trout and Snapper bite heats up!
Within the past few weeks the fall fishing pattern is really starting to develop. There have been loads of triple tail and bonita on the beaches. I’ve been running the crab trap buoy’s looking for triple tail while keeping an eye out for bonitas. The Bonita have been readily striking spoons, flies and D.O.A cals on [...]
Congratulations Sandra
Over my years as a guide, one of the most rewarding parts of my career is sparking someone’s interest in fishing, especially big game fishing. When I first meet Sandra, I was impressed by her eagerness to catch the biggest gamefish Naples, Florida had available (Tarpon) even though she only had one day of experience. [...]
