Serious fishermen dream of a chance to fish in waters that abound in such a big variety of large fish. When you want to be sure that you are going to come home with something to talk about, you need the experience and tenacity of Extreme Fishing! We offer 30 years experience in fishing and guiding the inshore and local flats and fish saltwater on light tackle in Southwest Florida. We have more repeat clients than anyone. If you are fishing for big snook, redfish, trout and tarpon, that's where we excel.
He's not only an accomplished saltwater guide and angler but also an experienced fresh water B.A.S.S. Tournament angler. Captain Terry got a paycheck in 13 of the 16 saltwater tournaments he fished in 2002 and also tied the record held for 13 years for the Calusa Catch & Release tournament with a catch of a 26 1/2 pounds, 43 inch Snook. The tournament field was 110 boats and over 450 anglers. He is a regular on Fox TV's Southwest Florida Outdoors Show. Captain Terry's grandfather once told him that to do something you love for a living and be good at it, makes you a lucky man. He loves to fish and he loves to take people fishing. He says, "Yes, I'm a very lucky man."
Captain Eric, sometimes known as the Barefoot Captain, began his saltwater fishing experience with his dad at the ripe old age of 2 1/2 years. After learning most of his father's tricks, he learned a few of his own. By the time he was eighteen years old, Captain Eric was on the B.A.S.S. Florida State Team comprised of the best 12 bass anglers in the state. He consistently places in the top of many saltwater tournaments for snook, redfish and trout. He has accomplished more in 22 years than most serious anglers do in a lifetime. In 2003, Eric placed 3rd in the Guided Division and 10th overall in the largest inshore tournament in Florida which draws 116 boats. He now has the record for the largest snook ever taken in the Naples Y.M.C.A. Red Snook Tournament -- 43 inches and well over 24 pounds. We can't wait to see what he will do in the future. You can see Eric on Fox Television's Southwest Florida Outdoors Show. For More Information

A typical day in on this Florida fishing charter starts out with catching bait. I am an expert in throwing a cast net and in a short period will fill the live wells with bait. I will instruct you in every facet of Florida flats fishing from how to catch "Shiners," to skipping your bait under the Mangroves for Snook with a bad attitude. After we load up the live wells with bait, the hunt begins. They say he who has the most chum (shiners) wins, and what this means is this. You troll up to a promising hole on a mangrove island and you proceed to toss out handfuls of live bait. This starts a feeding frenzy where every type of fish around will come to your spot in search of a free meal. The end result is fish busting the bait on the surface in an unbelievable show of power and fury. Multiple hookups result and this is what I call "angler's heaven". The best part is that you never know what type of fish your going to catch, as all fish in Pine Island Sound feed on Shiners. In the same spot on numerous casts you might hook Snook, Trout, Reds, Snapper, Grouper, Sharks, Flounder, Tarpon, and who knows what else. We specialize in family fishing, and teaching children to fish.
I provide the finest in fishing tackle from Loomis rods to Shimano reels. My boat is a very comfortable 20 ft. ActionCraft with a 200 horse Yamaha engine. The boat is very fast and will get you to the fishing grounds in a hurry. I have a canopy top to protect you if needed from the heat and rain. I provide everything you need for a fantastic day of Ft. Myers fishing. To experience the ultimate in flats fishing in Florida , you owe it to yourself to take a trip to Southwest Florida and visit Sanibel & Captiva Island. There is no other place on earth where so many angling adventures await you. For More Information
