Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report
December 11, 2012
Southwest Florida has been experiencing some unusually warm weather so far this December. And while we have been enjoying it, it has made the fishing a little hit and miss. By the end of November, the waters had cooled and put the fish into a typical winter season pattern. With the warm up, the fish seemed to have scattered more and while we have had some great trips others are finding it a little more challenging.
I have been going back and forth with both live sardines and live shrimp as well as jigs trying to find a pattern to success. We have managed to find some nice snook to 34 inches along with some giant jack crevalle destroying the sardines.
We are still finding a few pompano in the back country channels with jigs tipped with shrimp. There are a few trout scattered in the same areas. Although scattered, we have been managing a few decent redfish on most outings. They have been taking shrimp as well as live sardines.

Naples Fishing Forecast:
Cooler weather is forcast for later in week. This should help the trout and pompano fishing as they tend to school up in the channels as water temperatures fall.
Target Species:
snook, trout, pompano, redfish
