Capt. Charles Wright welcomes you to Chokoloskee Charters. When you come to Marco Island, Naples, Everglades National Park and the 10,000 Islands, you have reached the very edge of the Florida's last frontier. Fly fishing in the Florida everglades is fishing at its best. Come enjoy everglades snook fishing, tarpon, redfish cobia and grouper. Florida permit fishing does not get any better than right here with nearly 200 releases each year,

In just a half hour drive from Naples & Marco Island, 90 minutes from Miami & Ft. Lauderdale,and less than two hours from Boca Grande, Ft. Myers & West Palm Beach you are fishing Everglades City, Chokoloskee and the 10,000 Islands of the Florida's everglades ... the "Best the State has to offer"!!!

Why Naples fly fishing when you can go to the Everglades National Park only 30 minutes away?

 

The Everglades National Park and the Ten Thousand Islands are a traveling fisherman's ideal destination.  It is one of the most pristine and productive fisheries in North America.  But equally as important, how many times have you had your trip hurt by weather?  For the light tackle and fly fishing angler, the area's vast expanse of protected waters means that weather days are virtually nonexistent.  There is always sheltered places to fish so you do not spend your fishing days in the fishing lodge or villa.  Never do you have to fish in the wind all day!!

WHAT'S New ...

  • Tropical Storm Fay has passed (at least passed us!), the Dog Days of Summer are still dog-gone good and the July/August period is one of my personal favorites times to fish the Everglades. However, September and October offer up some of the best fishing of the year. September Forecast Read More

  • We have taken over JT's Island Grill and Gallery on Chokoloskee Island.  We still have a long way to go, but it has already turned into a great gathering place.  Come by for a "hello", to hang out, take a look at the fishing pictures or bring in your own!  It is going to be a lot of fun!

  • Capt. Jesse released over 20 pompano and couple of cobia just before the Storm on a half-day charter.  He is the Da' Man!

  • Vickie is back fishing (although still a bit fishing spoiled).  She released a 28 lb permit on her last trip ... she'll be happy to tell you all about it!  On the same trip Capt. Bruce releasedfour very big snook ... one pushing 30 lbs.  "Ringer Rich" jumped three tarpon as well.

  • The evening tarpon trips have been very good. We have been putting fish in the air on every trip.  These trips are timed with the full and new moons, so they are limited each month ... a fine cigar, adult beverages and tarpon jumping at sunset ... Hmmm!

  • Sight fishing has been good, but the window of opportunity is pretty short.  The seasonal rains have brought a big influx of fresh, tannin stained water.  This limits your opportunities and time frame as the off-colored water is hard to see through as the water deepens with the tide. A sight fished snook in the shallows ... What can be better?

  • Please congratulate the winners of this month's drawing for the free fishing trip!!

  • Good news for all!  Fuel prices have came down so have suspended the fuel surcharges on our charters!  Four dollars per gallon on the water seems "cheap" now!
