Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report
April 1, 2012
Last week started off challenging after a bit of a blow as a weak front moved through last Sunday. Waters were muddy for a couple of days but by the later part of the week, the fishing action exploded with quite a few nice redfish and snook boated as well as several hookups with big tarpon.
Thursday morning broke loose for the Forte' brothers who are regular on board the "Intowishin". Bill and Jack enjoyed a school of feisty reds running to 26 inches while casting live sardines into a remote pocket along the mangroves. The reds were even striking baits right on the surface beside the boat! The guys also had plenty of snook in the mix to keep rods bent. Here is Bill with one of the redfish caught…
Rob Barber and sons Jake,15 and Mark,17 had a great afternoon trip on Friday while releasing numerous snook, redfish and big jack crevalle. The action was non-stop as they released fish after fish after keeping a couple of nice reds for dinner. We topped of the afternoon with a few minutes spent to try for a hookup with one of the big tarpon that are in the bays right now. Within 10 minutes, Mark was tight to a 100 lb. silver king which put on a great arial display before spitting the hook! That's tarpon fishing!
Great tides are coming up this week, and I have another full week of trips lined up. I am expecting some great catches in the backwaters of Naples and Marco Island!
