CAPTAIN
GARRETT
DROGUE

"My specialty is chasing the right bite for the right time of year. I fish both inshore and offshore at a high level and take pride in being effective across multiple fisheries."

Captain Garrett Drogue has been fishing the Southern Gulf and the 10,000 Islands professionally for 17 years. Based in Everglades City, Florida, he holds a USCG 100 Ton Master license and is affiliated with Everglades Fishing Co.

His claim to fame is red grouper — his mentor was one of the best grouper fishermen in the country, and together they won roughly 15 tournaments. Garrett recently won the Grouper Bash in Fort Myers Beach with a $12,000 purse.

"Captain Garrett was extremely impressive on his knowledge of the area and fishing techniques. We are seasoned fishermen ourselves and we all learned something new."

Seasoned Angler

"Garrett knows how to enable the catch — from the 10 year old to the 78 year old angler and in between. HIGHLY recommend Drogue. Can't wait till next year."
