Naples Inshore Fishing Report

It’s been a rough week of some much needed rain to SW FL.  If you can beat the storms or fish around them your can have some great action. There are still some small tarpon around in the backcountry. Live bait and soft plastics (white) have been the best way to get a strike. Snook are thick on the outside island and beaches. This month look for them cruising the white sand. A well placed cast to the front of the schools will surly get them interested . Pompano are in abundance. We have been site fishing them in 2 feet or less cruising the white sand beaches. A shrimp tipped jig is your best bet to get them interested (6per angler -minimum of 11in to the fork). Take what you need for dinner and let the rest go.  Switching gears the rest of the month to chase some bigger Tarpon that are migrating down our beaches.
