We have such an amazing fishery that consistantly delivers on its promise of great year-round fishing action.  I’ll share my trade secrets for catching fish, which I’ve developed over my lifetime as a charter fishing captain.  Bring your friends, family, or employees for a fishing charter that you will all be talking about for a long time… most likely over a fantastic meal from your fresh caught  fish 😉

Bottom-dwelling fish found over hard and muddy bottoms. Juveniles found offshore along with adults greater than 6 years old. Fish from 1 to 6 years occupy nearshore reefs.

King mackerel are found in near and offshore waters throughout Florida. They are very fast and will take 100 to 200 yards of line off the reel in the first 30 seconds of the fight!

Often found circling the offshore wrecks. We target them with live baits, like a crab or shrimp. Incredible fighters! State Record: 56 lb 2 oz

Found offshore near structure and hard bottom. They spawn from June to October. Sexual maturity is attained at age 2. Feed on crustaceans and fish.

Size: Up to 60 inches (176 pounds); common around 40 inches and under 40 pounds. Hard hitting, and fast running fishing action. Minimum Size Limit: 34” Fork Length

Spring marks the beginning of heightened activity as the warmer temperatures prompt redfish, snook, and spotted sea trout to move into the shallower waters. This season offers a prime opportunity for anglers to explore the expansive mangrove-lined shorelines and flats, targeting these popular inshore species. As the waters warm up, baitfish become more abundant, attracting predatory fish and setting the stage for an exciting inshore fishing experience. Summer in Naples brings its own set of challenges and opportunities for inshore anglers. The warmer temperatures push fish into deeper channels and structures, making it essential for anglers to adapt their techniques. Snook, in particular, can be found near mangroves and oyster bars, providing a thrilling challenge for those skilled in navigating these dynamic environments. The summer months also present opportunities for night fishing, taking advantage of cooler temperatures and the increased activity of certain species like snook and tarpon. Fall signals a shift in inshore fishing dynamics in Naples. As temperatures begin to cool, redfish and snook become more active, preparing for the winter months. The abundance of baitfish during this season attracts various predators, offering anglers the chance to target a variety of inshore species. Fall is often considered a prime time for inshore fishing, with the combination of favorable weather conditions, increased fish activity, and a diverse range of species creating an ideal setting for anglers looking to enjoy a memorable and productive fishing experience in the waters around Naples.

What techniques are popular for inshore fishing in Naples?

Inshore fishing in Naples requires a nuanced approach, with anglers employing a variety of techniques to adapt to the dynamic coastal environment and target specific species. One prevalent technique is sight fishing, especially during the spring and early summer months when the clear, shallow waters make it possible to spot cruising redfish, snook, and spotted sea trout. Polarized sunglasses become an invaluable tool, aiding anglers in locating fish and making precise casts. Whether wading in the flats or poling a skiff along the mangrove shorelines, sight fishing adds an exciting visual element to the inshore fishing experience in Naples. Working the edges and structures is another effective technique in Naples' inshore waters. Mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, and submerged structures create ideal habitats for various species, including snook and redfish. Casting lures or live baits near these structures can entice predatory fish, and precision casting is crucial to avoid snags and effectively present the bait. Understanding the tidal movements plays a significant role, as positioning yourself in strategic locations during incoming or outgoing tides increases the likelihood of success. This technique allows anglers to capitalize on the natural flow of water, bringing baitfish and game fish into targeted areas. Topwater lures are a popular choice among anglers in Naples, particularly during the warmer months. This technique involves using lures that stay on the water's surface, creating enticing splashes and imitating injured baitfish. Topwater lures can elicit explosive strikes from species like snook and trout, adding an exciting visual element to the fishing experience. Varying retrieval speeds and experimenting with different patterns can make this technique highly effective in enticing inshore species, making each cast an opportunity for an exhilarating surface strike. As anglers hone their skills with these diverse techniques, they can unlock the full potential of inshore fishing in the vibrant waters around Naples.
