Tim Rushing, Guide at Southern Gentlemen Fishing

Fish the productive inshore and backcountry waters of Southwest Florida with a full-service fishing guide based in Naples, proudly serving Marco Island, the Everglades, and the world-famous 10,000 Islands. This region offers year-round fishing opportunities and is home to some of Florida’s most desirable saltwater species, including Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Sharks, and many other seasonal gamefish that thrive in these rich coastal ecosystems.


Every guided fishing trip is fully customized to match your skill level, interests, and expectations. Families, beginners, and vacationers will appreciate patient instruction, calm fishing areas, and a relaxed pace that makes fishing fun and accessible for kids. Experienced and serious anglers can focus on trophy hunting, targeting large, hard-fighting fish using advanced techniques, local knowledge, and precise timing based on tides, weather, and seasonal patterns.


You will fish aboard a safe, comfortable, and well-maintained boat equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and all necessary fishing gear. Your professional guide prioritizes safety, conservation, and productive fishing while sharing insights into local habitats, fish behavior, and sustainable practices that protect these waters for future generations. Instruction is always available, from basic casting to more technical approaches such as sight-fishing, lure presentation, and light-tackle strategies.


Explore shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, winding backcountry creeks, and remote island waters that are difficult to access without a knowledgeable local guide. Each trip offers the opportunity to enjoy Southwest Florida’s natural beauty while experiencing exciting, hands-on fishing action.


Whether you are planning a family fishing trip, a memorable vacation experience, or a serious day on the water chasing trophy fish, this Naples fishing guide delivers a professional, friendly, and results-driven experience across Marco Island, the Everglades, and the 10,000 Islands.

My son and I went on an afternoon trip and had an awesome time! Tim is extremely knowledgeable and knows where to find fish. He was courteous and very professional as well. We caught mangrove, jacks, snook, jewfish and a 50 lb bull shark. We will absolutely book again as often as we can.
