James (Jim) Costabile

---

 My name is James (Jim) Costabile I was born in Mt. Pleasant, PA. Ever since I was a child, I was drawn to fishing, as well as hunting and enjoying the outdoors!
 

This passion for fishing led me to become a fishing guide. I want to have the chance to show that fishing is a great sport and a fun time for everyone, adults and children alike. If you ever visit the Ft. Lauderdale area, I am ready and very excited to take you out and teach anyone how to fish and have a great time!!   
 

I also love to teach young children to fish so they can take this knowledge back home to help them catch more fish!

With over 50 years of experience, including major fishing tournaments, like the BFL, ABA and local club tournaments, I know what it takes to catch fish consistently on every trip, as a result most of my business is from referrals! The Everglades is truly a spectacular adventure even if you don’t fish! The wildlife experience is exceptional!! You will see all kinds of birds and animals and alligators up close which makes for great pictures.
 

I am also very honored to be part of a local group known as Fishing With America’s Finest that caters to taking war and other veterans out fishing as part of a recovery therapy which helps them acclimate back into society. This has been an incredible and rewarding experience for me to give back to those that gave so much!
