Naples Charter Fishing

I was born in Naples within a commercial fishing family and through the years have gone from fishing as an occupation to fishing for recreation and sport.  While I am familiar with the local waters and have had some success in local back water tournaments, when I want to fish offshore whether for fun or in a tournament, anywhere from Naples to the Keys, I go with Captain Vic.   Over many years of fishing in Naples the reputation that Captain Vic Vazquez has developed among local fisherman is superior and consistent. Without question Vic is among the most successful bottom fishermen I have had the pleasure to fish with. While fishing with Vic I have caught some of my most memorable fish, including my first African Pompano and my personal best True Black Grouper which weighed in at over 75lbs, which I am proud to display it on my wall.  On average my friends and I fish with Vic once a month and will continue to do so.  Vic is an established Captain and I have a perpetual list of friends who always want to be included in the trip when we schedule a charter with him.

Biologists with the St. Petersburg-based Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute and Sarasota’s Mote Marine Laboratory are conducting an ongoing study that uses fish DNA to help gauge the health of the state’s tarpon population. …
