Naples & Marco Island Fishing Report

This week inshore fishing has been outstanding. Naples and Marco Island have been producing some great snook action .  Winds have been East allowing our gulf waters settle & get gin clear.  This makes for great sight, fishing opportunities along our beaches and islands. As always live bait (pilchards) are the best baits around for getting these big snook out of hiding . Midmorning incoming tides I have switched gears from the beaches and outer islands  to bays with shorlines that’s have good cover.   We have been finding redfish and snook on them as long as the tide is still coming in.

It seems that certain sections of shoreline paired with the incoming tides have been the ticket to some great red fishing  . I like to pull up to these spots and before I even cast I like to chum with 20 0r so live baits . If there’s any fish around, they will most certainly come out and see what’s the commotion is all about. This is the perfect time to fire your bait tight to the shoreline and wait for that line to jump .   This coming week should be more of the same with high pressure weather settling in . Still Looking for a water temps to get into the 80s & this should really jumpstart our tarpon action.   What a great time of the year to be inshore fishing. Hope everybody has a great rest of their week. Look forward to seeing y’all on the water.
