If you are looking for a qualified fishing guide that can find redfish, snook and other Back Bay species in southwest Florida, you’ve come to the right place. Captain Jon Fetter of Catching the Cure Backcountry Fishing Charters has 40 years of angling experience and is extremely passionate about his job on the water. It’s this passion that makes him one of the area’s top fishing guides. At age 5 he was introduced to fishing by his father in Northwest Ohio. It was there, as they fished for walleye, bluegill, crappie and largemouth bass that his love for fishing began. Now in his 18th year as a full time Florida guide, and with 30+ years of saltwater fishing experience under his belt, Jon searches the mangrove shorelines, oyster bars and grass flats for gamefish.
Captain Jon’s philosophy for fishing is simple; “May Everyone Enjoy the Fishing As Much As I Do!!” Fishing is supposed to be fun! He takes the time to teach anglers the proper techniques to ensure a fun and memorable fishing experience. Since this is your day each trip is tailored to go after the species you desire. He may suggest targeting other fish, based on weather and conditions, but if you strongly desire to catch an offseason trophy snook or tarpon, he’ll do his best to hook you up.
When the day comes to a close, Captain Jon hopes to have provided you with lots of memories to share with your friends and family and hopes to see you again for a future trip.
