Kingfish Fishing in Naples, Florida.
Screaming drag on the nearshore wrecks.
King mackerel show up off Naples in spring and fall and hit like a freight train. Kingfish are the fastest fish most guests will ever hook, and a smoker king in the 30-pound class will empty half a spool before you get your footing.
Where we find kingfish in Naples
Nearshore wrecks, reefs and bait pods 5–25 miles off Naples and Marco Island.
How we fish for them
Slow-trolled live bait on stinger rigs, or free-lined threadfin around bait schools.
Best time of year
March through May and again October through December.
Private charters for up to 4 anglers (up to 6 for $100 per extra person). Rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, ice and water included — and we clean your catch.
