Fishing in our region consistently gets better every day. Backcountry fishing has been staying very consistent with all of the usual suspects around. Redfish, snook, juvenile Tarpon and Jack’s of all sizes. If you want something to pull on a little harder, spinner sharks and black tips have been all over the beaches, all sight fishing in Crystal clear water. The Stone crab traps are being set out this week which means tripletail fishing should be incredible in the next few weeks. Our calendars are filling up steadily every day. The snowbirds are on their way down, book your trips as soon as possible.

Full on fall fishing in our region is off the charts! All of the usual suspects are here, the water is cooling. Bait is everywhere! This is a very special time of the year around here, with the mad rush of snowbirds from the north are areas becoming busier by the day. So please be aware of this when you’re booking your charters we have a few avail abilities left this month.

Thank you,

An abundance of redfish have littered our area. It seems like they are on every shoreline and eating every single thing you have to throw at them. Flies, Gulps and pilchards are all working well. It seems like the artificial‘s have been working better, there’s been so much live bait around that it’s everywhere. So something out of the norm has been working really good. 

Tarpon are starting to show up in some of our spots to the north. A few colleagues have been putting up huge numbers which means they should be in our region any day now. The Stone crab traps go out next week which means triple tail will be number one staple for the dinner table. 

We are starting to fill up for fall, please book your trips accordingly. 

Thanks,

September fishing report: pre-fall is a little ahead of schedule this year. The fall pilchard migration has shown up, the beaches are littered with Bait! Are usually hour long bait mission in the morning has turned into minutes. So with blacked out Wells the backcountry fishing and near shore wrecks have been exploding. We have been starting our trips in the morning with bagging out limits of mangrove snapper and Spanish mackerel on the wrecks, silly numbers all you want! Then retreating to the bushes and the structures in the back which have been producing great numbers of snook, redfish, jacks, trout, and even juvenile tarpon! Season is right around the corner so please book your trips accordingly!

Feels like we woke up in October in July. Lots of quality Redfish have moved into town and they've been eating everything from live bait to flies. There are also lots of big Snook in the mix with them as well. Our backcountry fishery has been producing some stellar fish these past couple weeks. Bait has been tricky to catch but when you can find some you are guaranteed to catch quality fish. Summertime fishing in Naples, FL is always great!

We’ve has some sporadic weather recently but the fishing has still been good. Lots of big snook around in the backcountry. When the weather cooperates the Permit are everywhere offshore. Lots of summertime fish to catch here in Naples, FL.

The stellar summertime fishing continues. Slicked off conditions lead to some spectacular fishing. Plenty of action offshore right now. There are truckloads of Permit, big Amberjacks, barracudas and snapper for dinner. The inshore bite has been just as good. Lots of big Snook and Tarpon around to play with. Best time of the year to fish in Naples, Fl. Minimal traffic and a lot of fish to catch!

Despite the inclement weather we’ve had recently there are still fish to catch. There’s been a nice variety of fish offshore and loads of Permit. Light winds this week make for great days to make it out there. The tarpon are still inshore as well. Summer time fishing in Naples, FL is incredible as always.

Lots of quality fish offshore right now. Big jacks, Amberjacks, Cobia, Barracudas and of course Permit as well. Still quality fish inshore we’ve just been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by running offshore. Tarpon, Snook and Redfish are still around off the beach and in the backcountry. Gotta love summertime fishing in Naples, FL.

This is the best time of year to catch your bucket list fish. Trophy Permit and Tarpon are here by the truckload. Large schools of fish in crystal clear water have been the theme recently. The weather has been beautiful and the fish are happy as can be. Stellar conditions here in Naples, FL.
