Naples & Marco Island Backcountry Fishing Report

From the beaches to the backcountry Naples & Marco island Florida has had some awesome fishing . This week  I have been dialed into the snook . It been best on the outside islands where they have been in big groups . Once I find where they are staging up , we can sit just off the school and enjoy non stop snook action.  I am finding them in the deeper holes with good current . Doesn't matter outgoing or incoming tides just as long as long as it’s moving.  Sea trout have also been on the hit list . What’s been working best for us has been a live bait(pilchard/thred fin herring )  with a 3/8oz split shot about a few inches above the hook . Look deep cuts around the beaches. Give it a 5 mins  with no bites &  move on till you find action .
