Welcome to Glades Outfitters! My name is Capt. Mark Giacobba. I guide fly fisherman and light tackle anglers out of a Hells Bay Boatworks skiff within the inshore waters of southern Florida. The best part of my profession is not just being on the water on a daily basis, but the people I have met and have yet to meet. I consider each individual whom I guide a guest as well as a new or old friend – you’re not just a client! 

   

    The anglers I have come to know through my charter service come from diverse backgrounds & cultures and vary from local residents to out-of-state visitors, business travelers and curious anglers from all over the globe.  The common bond we all share is a love for being on the water, a deep passion for enjoying and exploring the outdoors, and of course, catching fish in a sporting manner.

 

    The style of angling that you can expect, be it fly or light tackle, is intended to be challenging and most of all fun.  The majority of the fishing that we’ll do is for sport, so naturally I promote catch and release.  Although harvesting certain fish for dinner is encouraged and welcomed.

 

    So, please enjoy browsing through the pages of this site and keep in mind this only gives you a small window of what is available and by no means did I intend to answer all your questions. This I would like to do personally via phone or e-mail and ultimately welcome you aboard!

 

All the best,

Capt. Mark Giacobba
