Naples & Marco Island Fishing Report

Perfect conditions around Naples and Marco Island have the inshore bite heating up  !  Snook and sea trout have been chewing good all week. I am catching these fish in the same Locations so it’s been fun not knowing what species you’re going to get on any given cast.

My rig for these fish is simple 15 lb power pro attached to a 3ft ,30lb Fluorocarbon leader with a 3/0 live bait J hook .  Always remember to match your hook size up to the size of your live baits . Too big a hook can cause your bait to die faster and to small can foul up and cause your bait to spin .    Tarpon are making their migration so make sure to get up early and look for rolling fish at first light.

As the the sun gets higher later in the day, its a great time to look for fish on the beaches.  Live threadfin herring, pass crabs , mullet and even artificials (paddle tails ) are great ways to target these silver giants . C u in the water !!!!
