Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report

We fished a fullday on thurs. and everything started a little slow with the wind still blowin out of the north and a swell out of the northwest.Even catching grunts for bait took some extra time.No keepers in the box until noon but we still managed a limit of nice gags to 27in.On friday the wind had switched to the south and it was all we could do to keep the hooks baited.we had a limit of gags by 10am and then the mangs and aj's started.Also released some nice gags on 20pd spin tackle while snapper fishing.

Naples Fishing Forecast:

Even though it was snowing in ocala this morning the fishing should continue to be really good the next couple of weeks.This weather should get the snappers chewin,and as the seas settle the gags should start biting again.

Target Species:

gag grouper mangrove snapper amberjack
