Captain Ron Hueston Fishing Charters in Naples

Captain Ron Hueston guides Southwest Florida fishing under the Midnight Riders name. His website describes working from the Everglades toward Boca Grande, using seasonal conditions to select the fishing. Naples is his home area, and both beginners and experienced anglers are welcomed.

Contact and booking details

Ron's guiding background

Ron describes himself as a South Florida native with decades fishing the Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands. His biography highlights inshore tournament experience and teaching visitors techniques they can use later. Night fishing for snook with spinning and plug equipment is one stated specialty.

The website also mentions offshore fishing and offers past fishing reports. Treat those reports as examples of Ron's methods, not a current guarantee of fish locations, harvest limits or catches. Ask what he recommends now for the tide and season of your visit.

A Skeeter bay boat

The boat page lists a 2011 Skeeter ZX22 Bay powered by a Yamaha 250. Its description mentions electronics, padded seating, storage and cooler space. This is a bay-boat fishing setup, without a published description of an enclosed cabin or bathroom.

The rate page covers up to three people, with one more allowed for $50. Let Ron know if four guests all intend to fish. For a night snook outing, also ask how he arranges casting and lighting so you understand the format before boarding.

Published charter prices

The stated rates are $450 for four hours, $600 for six and $800 for eight. Those base figures cover up to three people. Gratuity is excluded, and the fourth-person addition should be included when agreeing on the total price.

Ron's reservation instructions begin with a phone conversation to schedule the outing and settle its price. Payment or a deposit is then arranged for that agreed amount. Confirm that the public rate remains applicable to a specialized night trip or any longer offshore route you request.

Supplies and your preferences

License coverage, fishing equipment and a cooler with ice are listed as provided. The operator asks guests to bring refreshments, lunch, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. The rate page does not separately detail bait or catch cleaning, so clarify those items during the booking conversation.

Share the experience level of everyone aboard. Someone learning to cast may want practical instruction and several types of fish, while an experienced visitor may prefer a focused effort at one target. Ron's broad service area makes that discussion especially useful before choosing a launch.

Contact and departure details

Call 239-825-0601 or use the website's inquiry form. There is no single charter departure address specified in the reviewed pages. Get the ramp or marina, boarding time and parking directions directly from Ron after choosing the fishing area.

Ask for the deposit amount, payment method and full cancellation terms before finalizing. The reviewed material does not give a clear weather-refund schedule. A written confirmation should distinguish the actual meeting place from a general Naples business listing and include the guest count used in the quote.

Details checked October 11, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
