Naples 6-Hour Deep Sea Fishing Charter

We have done this trip many times. However, their new boats are faster but smaller. There is no place on them to stay dry or to get out of the sun. They say they have a bathroom but it is so small you need to crawl to get to it. We did catch some fish but we probably actually only fished for less than 90 minutes on a 6 hour fishing excursion. We drove for over two hours out and two hours back. In between we moved six times. We also paid for a first mate who did not come. So we had even less times as we waited for baits and fish to be removed. It was a nice long boat ride but it was very short on fishing.

On June 9, 2024, we went on a fishing charter called “Sweet E’ Nuf charters with Captain Quin and 1st mate Charlie. We got to the dock at 6:50 AM and promptly left the dock at7:00AM.Captain Quin got up in the tower to start the charter and Charlie was down below getting everything ready and explaining to all of us how he wanted us to fish and how the rods worked.Once we left the dock and we were in open water, Captain Quin nailed it and we were off to the races in search of birds and fish.At around 8:00 AM, Captain Quin saw a weed line and said let’s try this here, so we got the lines in the water and trolled for 15- 20 mins, but no fish, so Captain Quinsaid pick up the lines, let’s move on. So we went on our search again and at about 9:15AM, Captain Quin saw some debris in the water and she said lines in,at 9:30AM, we had our 1st fish on and as we were bringing it to the boat, Captain Quin could she other Mahi following it, so it was game on. We probably fished this school for 45 mins to an hour and we put 36 fish in the box, catching at least 50 fish. Captain Quin was up in the tower the whole time telling us which direction to throw the lines and when the fish ate the bait. Charlie was hustling around taking fish off the lines and rebating our hooks very quickly so we wouldn’t lose the school. Captain Quin was in the tower telling us whether to go over or under with our lines, so we wouldn’t get tangled up and lose fish. It was very hectic but a blast as fish were everywhere. At 10:30AM we decided to pick up and go deep drop. We were fishing for grouper or tole fish. We had a couple strikes but nothing really took the bait. While we were deep dropping Charlie spotted some birds working about 1/4 mile out. Captain Quin said let’s go chase those birds. When we got ther we got lines in the water and Captain Quin positioned us perfectly under the birds and we hooked a fish. Again as we were bringing it to the boat, Captain Quin spotted the school, so we caught another 17 for the box and then we slowly trolled to shore searching the whole time for more fish. I would highly recommend this charter and Captain Quin cleaned our Mahi better then any charter I have ever taken. Excellent job Captain Quin and Charlie. Rick
