Everglades Fishing Guide | Chokoloskee

An hour from the urban sprawl of Miami lies Everglades National Park. 1.5 million acres of the way it was. This is a true wilderness experience and lets us take daily journeys into the past. Countless fish species are targeted here including tarpon, snook, redfish, seatrout trail, triple tail and the list goes on. The area offers both sight fishing in blind casting opportunities as well as fresh and saltwater species. Alligators, crocodiles and all types of birds thrive here. It is the crown jewel of the south Florida fishery.

I have fished my whole life in the park since the 1950’s, and feel I know it well. Brian will take me to places and knows how to get around to the fish, where few people have ever been. He works extremely hard to please his clients no matter what your skill level is and you will never hear him raise his voice or criticize. Brian has a host of boats, canoes and such of which many were made or finished by him. He loves his craft and is so talented with his love for fishing.

Perhaps more importantly than anything else is the friendship that we have. For this I’m so grateful. I have been able to talk with him about life issues and he is there for me as I am for him. Fishing with Brian, I can guarantee one thing, your day will be nothing short of one of your best days on the water.

I always look forward to stepping on to Brian’s boat as he has a vast playbook and a plan to deal with any number of weather variables. So many memorable days in both Florida and Louisiana.

Fishing is definitely a spiritual addiction. Seeing a snook,redfish,or Tarpon in shallow water, making the perfect cast and connecting with said fish is nothing less than perfect. This action requires the help of a captain that can “ease” you into the zone and presents that shot of a lifetime to you. No one does this better than Brian Esposito.

Some of my favorite lines (and what endeared him to me) of Brian’s are, “they’re around here somewhere just gotta find em.” “ They live here”. Brian is all about catching fish. He approaches an area very stealthfully always looking for patterns of birds,bait,current,or flow.

He will stay in an area only if it is happening. Otherwise he is moving to the next area saying “ they’re here somewhere, they live here”. Brian thinks like a fish and is constantly matching lures to baits in the water or water color, or depth.
