Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report

The beaches are starting to fill up and the word is starting to spread that water is clean once again! That's good because it means us charter folks are finally able to take people fishing again after the Red Tide Disaster...No more Ramen Noodles for a while! The fish are starting to retreat from their fallout shelters and move back to some of the Nearshore Wrecks and Reefs.

Lots of bait off of Wiggins Pass the last two days that I have been out and even more of it off Doctors Pass. We have been starting to see tripletail show up with the start of the stone crab season. Most of the ones we have been seeing are undersized, but we have managed to land a few keepers.

Other species we have been getting into have been Barracuda, Goliath Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, and plenty of Grunts.

Naples Fishing Forecast:

Should continue to improve!

Target Species:

Whatever is Biting!
