Naples & Marco Island Fishing Report

It has been an action packed week of inshore fishing around the Naples and Marco island areas. On our way out to the fishing grounds, we have been treated to some outstanding sunrises that light up the sky.  Snook are still one of my favorite fish to target as they love to jump and scream out drag no matter the size. Redfish have been in the mix and they just as willing to slam a live bait that swims in front of them.  I have been fishing for them on the high incoming tides tight to the mangroves. Make sure to cast your bait into the shady pockets and let that bait swim around the bushes . If you see your live bait start to act erratic be ready for the strike. We have been using big pilchards (live bait) , that I cast net just offshore our beaches. Our weather past few weeks has been great but we are having our first cold snap coming this weekend so look for conditions to change and fish to  start moving deeper into the backcountry.
See you on the water!!
