As a 4th generation native of Fort Myers I grew up fishing Pine Island, Sanibel,  and its surrounding waters where I developed a real passion for shallow water fishing. You can be confident that as your fishing guide I have the experience to know what works and where the fishing is most productive at the time of your charter. Diamond Fishing Charters specialize in light tackle spin and fly fishing, and utilize both artificial's and live bait. To ensure your trip is a success, all charters are customized around the individual needs of the angler and the tides on the dates wished to fish.

From stalking tailing redfish on the flats, to fishing in the backcountry, or numerous potholes and oyster-beds for snook, reds, tarpon, trout, grouper, sharks, and other saltwater game-fish, there is a fishing charter for everyone. The headstrong pull of a redfish rushing for the safety of the mangroves, and the  acrobatics of a surprised snook on light tackle can provide instant memories for a lifetime!

I welcome anglers of all skill levels to  come and enjoy the outstanding fishing, Pine Island, Sanibel, Fort Myers, and other areas Southwest Florida has to offer. From the experienced angler who wants to sightfish redfish and snook, to someone who just wants to spend a relaxing day on beautiful Pine Island Sound fishing the grassflats for a variety of saltwater fish, Diamond Fishing Charters has a charter just for you. No matter what your experience or fishing style, as your fishing guide I am 100% commited to making sure you catch fish and that you have a terrific day on the water.

Hi, my name is Capt. John Diamond, and  I'm a fishing guide on Pine Island, Florida. I'd like you to join me on my native waters and experience the thrill of a light tackle fishing charter. As your fishing guide I'll take you to some of the most productive fishing grounds in Florida. From the backcountry to the flats we will cover some of southwest Floridas' most outstanding fishing locations for snook, redfish, trout, tarpon, and sharks, in addition to a variety of other shallow water fish. Enjoy the timeless beauty of Southwest Florida's gulf coast, as most fishing charters take place in the fishy waters of Pine Island Sound, Matlacha Pass, and Charlotte Harbor. The islands of Pine Island, Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo- Costa, and other nearby locations in Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, and Estero, all offer outstanding fishing opportunities, along with a rich history and unique wildlife. Let me share with you my local knowledge of the area, and my love of the waters my family and I have fished on for generations.
