What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Punta Gorda, Florida for the first time?

Call capn Ron Jones! Capn Ron was very knowledgeable and helpful. He put us on the fish, and provided a top notch experience. This is one of the best fishing excursions I've ever had. Thanks capn Ron.

Call Capt Ron directly to ensure date, duration, lunch, bathroom arrangements, and (most importantly) cost as there may (as in our case) be a difference from what is advertised on FishingBooker.com web and what you experience.

Do not worry about your level of experience. My husband and son are experienced fishermen and I don’t fish at all and Captain Steve and Zeke tailored our experience so that we all enjoyed our time

4 hours lots of time for newbies. Put sunscreen on face arms and especially legs :)

Get out for the snook with live bait, fun to spot fish in the canals behind docks and boats

If your guide says to meet you in a harbor farther away than your lodging, it is probably to get you closer to a launch allowing for a quick trip to deeper waters. Let them be the experts.

Get a good fishing guide like Captain Rich. The weather in February is mild . The fishing is fantastic!

Bad red tide but the fishing was fun regardless. We weren’t able to keep anything.

This was our first time and we had a blast. I do thing morning in July was a good time. Not as hot
