May fishing never disappoints. If you’re looking for a bigger quality fish and lots of action this is the month to be on the water. Marco island and Naples Florida’s backcountry and inshore fishing has such a variety of fish to target.  We can be targeting snook but also have redfish , sea trout , Goliath grouper, mangrove snapper, & Jack crevalle all in the mix . This type of fishing is very exciting as you never know what you’re gonna catch on any given cast. Live bait is still my go to when targeting these bigger fish . Very important to spend the time to catch bait as this will ensure an action packed morning.  For my Fly fishermen look to the beaches for cruising fish.  Make sure to take your time and roll down the beach slowly while looking for your targets.  Make a well place cast in front of the fish in his cone of vision and strip it through the zone.  Don’t forget to keep your head on a swivel as big tarpon will be cruising down beaches to . Get out of the house and enjoy some time on the water .

The backcountry and inshore fishing around Naples and Marco Island continues to produce some great fishing. Snook & sea trout have been our top targets but there are big jacks and snapper mixed in the action. Spend the time to catch a live well full of big baits to entice those big summer time fish out of hiding. It’s looking to be another great week to get out on the water and enjoy some great fishing..

The inshore fishing around the Naples and Marco Island area continues to remain hot! Snook & jacks have been in abundance on the outer islands. A live well full of big pilchards or thread fin herring will insure your have an action packed morning. Artificials ( top water) baits have also been a blast to throw at first light.   We are concentrating on shorelines with lots of structure them. Try to stay as far off as you can work the plug from the shoreline out about 1/2 distance to the boat. This is all about playing the odds game. The more you cast the more your odds of getting that strike increase. Get out and enjoy this great weather!!
