Naples & Marco Island Fishing Report

Last weeks inshore & backcountry fishing was on point, with big numbers of snook and redfish on the line. June is always one of my favorite months to target snook and redfish around the Naples and marco island areas. I really focus on the islands that have a lot of birds activity.  This is due to the amount of small baitfish that gets pushed in with the tides.  Position your boat just off of where you see the tiny ripples of small bait fish and cast some live bait (pilchards/ thread fin herring/mullet ) directly at that shoreline.  Also at times I like to get my bait directly down to the bottom so I use a small split shot to get underneath the bait pods.  If you’re looking for some good fish to take home our mangrove snapper bite has been on fire.
