If you are searching FishingBooker for a guide around Naples, Fort Myers, etc, just stop wasting your time searching and book with Capt. GOWDY! There are none better priced, better at putting you on the fish or as just plain cool as Capt. GOWDY!

When it came to the fishing, Capt. GOWDY was the best guide we have ever been with! I took my 8y/o son on a Peacock Bass trip for his birthday and Capt. GOWDY put us on the fish minutes after launching the boat; no kidding! We literally lost count of how many fish we caught. I mean we caught so many, I started to feel bad for the fish!

All equipment was top notch and performed flawlessly and his boat was super comfortable and clean. He had a cooler and ice on board that we were able to put drinks and snacks in.

If you are a Dad looking to take your son or daughter fishing, book with Capt. GOWDY! I hadn’t planned on doing much fishing and wanted/planned for my son to catch fish and me to undo tangles, take fish off, etc. Capt. GOWDY quickly told me “you fish, I’ll take care of him!” and boy did he. My son had his most memorable fishing trip to date (so much so that he said he wants to be a fishing guide like Capt. GOWDY), but he also learned a ton about fishing from Capt. GOWDY.

If you are in the Bonita, Estero, Fort Myers or Naples area and aren’t booking with Capt. GOWDY, you’re making a mistake! Not only is he the best guide on the water, I feel like we made a life long friend. Capt. GOWDY is just an all around great person and I’m glad we got to spend four hours with him.

Capt. GOWDY, we look forward to hosting you hunting this year in Alabama!!! Tight lines and fair seas to you and yours! Thanks for the memories that will be talked about for many, many years!

We took shorter half day morning trip. We saw dolphin and birds and caught fish, including ladyfish, sheepshead,  snook, mangrove snapper, cervalle jack and a Goliath grouper.  Very nice day on the water thanks Captain Fred Gowdy!

We had a great time fishing with Fred today. We are from Illinois and had no idea what we were fishing for but Fred made it really easy and we had a great day.  Fred was great with my 12 year old son and he has been telling everyone about Fred and the fishing trip all day. On top of all of that we caught a lot of fish including a 28” snook and 10 lb drum ! We will be back for peacock bass!

We were a group of 3y We had a great time on the water. Fred is really experience and knows the good places to catch fish.
Fred made sure that we had all the time bait on the hook which kept him busy 😅

The result:

4 hours on the water. Tons of information about local nature and community. And 6 ready to grill filets.

Thanks for the good memories ! Till next time

The bite was slow at first we were throwing top water plugs with no luck.  When the sun came up higher in the sky we were able to see the Peacocks on their nests. After a learning curve on sighting and flipping the jigs at close range we were able to catch some good fish.  Over all good experience, the only thing I can say negative was we weren’t able to get under a bridge due to the amount of rain in the area in the past week. Captain Fred was knowledgeable and a great guide.
