Naples and Marco Island Fishing Report

It’s been typical winter weather in the Naples and Marco island area. One week it’s 80 and sunny then we get cold front that cools us down. The fishing remains strong with snook and redfish on my top targets. Live bait (pilchards) are still plentiful on the inshore islands and with a few cast we are loaded up for the day. On the days I am fly fishing with clients I am focusing my attention deep in the back country where the water is clean and clear. This weeks morning low tides have been exceptionally good for sight fishing redfish in the shallows. You have to remember to take your time while on the hunt as to not spook these fish that are in a foot or less if water. Remember to lead the fish with a good cast and strip it past his cone of vision and game on!!!
