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!

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!
