Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing in Naples has been great the last few days! Fished several artificial reefs and wrecks within 5 miles of Big Carlos Pass this past weekend. Lots of Spanish mackerel both on bait and artificial lures; we could have easily filled a five gallon bucket had we been keeping fish. Also, hooked and landed a couple over the slot Snook that were caught on white Spro jigs tipped with a piece of threadfin herring. We even dropped down a couple of the Spanish Mackerel as bait and hooked several goliath grouper landing one that approached 200 pounds! Plenty of sharks around as well although we only ended up catching small ones

Target Species:

Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Goliath Grouper
