Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report
Outstanding weather has settled into south Florida and it has the fishing on fire . The Naples and Marco island inshore fishing continues to produce a variety of inshore species. Snook are still at the top of our hit list . Now that the weather is cooler , I am concentrating on the creeks and bays & looking for current or slight drop offs on a shoreline .
Once I have found an area that has the "recipe"(an area that looks good ) I camp out for a few mins and chum heavy to see who's home and who is hungry . If after 15min we get no action then it's time to shuffle down to another spot and repeat process till we land on them . What's been great is most of our game fish tend to hang out with eachother so you never know what you're going to hook into on any given cast .
The sea trout bite has been picking up as it usually does when the water temps drop . We are also finding some pompano mixed in while jigging for these trout & both are great fish to take home for the grill . With winter just around the corner, Look for cold fronts to start getting more frequent . All this means is gulf water temps will drop and we will start to change up our fishing tactics. Hope to see yahll on the water !!!!!
