The time is here for spearing the Gulf. As winter hits the vis gets better and the bigger fish come in closer. Both freedivers and scuba can injoy some trophy hunting. Last weekend the vis was over 45ft in the Naples area and the stringers were full of snapper and grouper with loys of fish left behind due to some selective fishing. The 1st place snapper was a 23.5 inch Dog Snapper shot by Ron Raux and a 30 inch Gag Grouper shot by Capt. Mark Garcy. To see pics email me @ info@reel1up.com .

The hook & line fishing has been great as well with record number days of cobia, shark, macs, and of course all the reef fish you can handle.

To set up a trip contact me via email info@reel1up.com or call Capt. Mark @ 239-537-5532
