The Captains

FISHING NAPLES WITH CAPTAIN ERIC

I grew up around boats and water. Every chance we could, my father had us wetting a line. I loved fishing from a very young age. He also had us working at my family’s marina, Alexander’s Landing, on weekends and through summer breaks from school. I learned all about boating from working at my family’s marina. It’s still operated by my family, in Ohio, on Buckeye Lake.215

After college, I moved to Florida in 1981. I started fishing the Gulf as soon as I arrived. I began working for a marine outfit as a mechanic, boat rigger and sales person.

Then, in 1988, I started fishing as a private and charter captain for an outfit named Lone Wolf Charter Systems. I worked for “Lone Wolf” for over ten years. Our boats were located just a few docks south of Port-O-Call Marina, our current location. When the company divested and moved from Naples, I immediately started my own business, CAPTAIN ERIC, INC. That’s 34 years of fishing the Gulf of Mexico from Naples, year round.

FISHING NAPLES WITH CAPTAIN BRANDON

A native of Naples, Brandon has fished these waters all his life. Brandon is an avid sportsman. He is the epitome of an outdoorsman. He enjoys fishing like no other. You’ll see!

Captain Brandon, for the last 19 years, runs the “SOLO LOBO” for me and does a great job of it! When you book the Solo Lobo, chances are, you’ll be fishing with Brandon. You’ll love him! Don’t worry, you’ll still get to see me hanging around the dock..

Brandon’s passion, energy and experience has been a great compliment to Captain Eric, Inc. He has been a welcome addition. I wouldn’t know what to do without him!
