All I wanted was a ticket to the ferry and I wasn't sure of the island name as we were referred there by our hotel. He rattled off a few island names and told me to go to the boat dock next door and when I said there was no one there he said oh well he didn't know what they were doing then.. visiting from another state I really found the man's actions disappointing. I would recommend everyone go somewhere else to get a ferry ticket anywhere. He was a real jerk.

John is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the fishing. As good a fisherman as my brothers and I are, our experience and knowledge paled compared to John. He is a true professional. He has excellent equipment and knows how to use it. He will tailor the trip to what you and your party want to do, and their capabilities. He is also very willing to teach you how to fish the area. He was very free with advice on how to fish and what to do. The other thing about John is that he is a gentleman and a conservationist. He knows that the well being of the area is very dependent on the health of the ocean and the fishery. He plays by the rules. He cares. I highly recommend if you want a charter-anything from a 1/2 day of easy inshore fishing-or a full day rugged offshore trip, book with John. You will be very pleased.

This was an incredible experience. I would recommend Diamond Fishing Charter to anyone looking for…read morea fantastic off shore fishing adventure in south western Florida. We left from the Four Winds Pine Island Marina. The boat was clean, fast, and comfortable for the trip out to deeper waters. We had un unlimited supply of water and access to a cooler. But the best part of the deal is the Captain. John Diamond, owner/operator and third generation native. He knows his stuff. I had never fished off shore and he had me catching fish within minutes. My fiancé has fished with more crowded commercial tourist charters before and he had the best experience of his life! He was able to land two huge Goliath Grouper (which after numerous pics we returned to the sea) and loved it. Between us we caught 20 yellow tail snapper and a couple of Almaco Jacks. The captain cleaned, skinned, and filleted our catch and bagged them up for us. We will so be back. Best 6 hours of our VaCa!

The view from here of the Matlacha Pass is fantastic. Because of the causeway, the fishing here looks to be pretty darned awesome since the fish are just going right past and you can pull 'em right out. There are only a small number of parking spaces and if they're full, you're SOL. Serious bummer because this is a pretty solid view. The park has some shady spots for fishing, restrooms and easy level ground that is completely wheelchair accessible. And no, I didn't see any bats today.
