Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report

Went on a full day shared charter yesterday. We weren't sure that we were going to be able to make it happen with the way the weather has been this month. When we got to the pass the seas were surprisingly calm, so my crew elected to go for it. We went through a few miles of fog, but it cleared and it was a straight shot and smooth boat ride out to 75 feet of water.
Ended up landing several undersized red grouper, some big mangrove snapper, porgies, gags, and an Amberjack. The one porgy was 22" and makes the rest of the snappers seem small in the picture...he was a little tank!
Around 3 0'clock the winds started gusting to 20 knots and the seas started to pick up. We elected to head to the barn! The boat ride in wasn't as smooth or dry as the ride out haha.
Thanks to my crew for making it a fun day!

Target Species:

Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Amberjack, Porgy, Red Grouper
