Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report

September 25, 2012

More of the same action last week as redfish continue to prowl the back waters of Naples and Marco Island. Snook action has been very good as well.

Reds are congregating along hard bottom shorelines at high tide as well as shallow channel edges during low stages. Low tides have brought some good sight fishing opportunities lately. Live baits as well as jigs and other soft plastic lures are being eagerly consumed by the hungry reds.

Snook continue to be just about anywhere we fish. We are boating fish to 30 inches on each trip while releasing as many as 25. On Friday afternoon, I got a quick trip in between rain storms with young anglers Dylan (7) and Carson (5) Phelps. We stayed close to home with the pending severe weather but both boys managed to boat a number of snook and a few redfish in a short time. The highlight was a 29 inch snook caught by Dylan on a new rod and reel that he had received a few days before on his birthday. A nice job by both guys!

Here is a picture of the three of us with Dylan's snook…
