Naples - Saltwater Fishing Report

Well the amberjacks are back on the menu after a two month closure and there should be plenty around with so little pressure.The red grouper fishing continues to be as good as we have seen it in a long time with limits coming quickly on both half days and full days.Last sat I fished a full day with 3 guys and we had our limit in two drops and fished goliath grouper and barracudas the rest of the day.On sun we fished a Half day and the red grouper fishing was the same catching 10 keeper groupers to 26" in 3 drops .Then we pulled on several goliath grouper to finish the morning.

Naples Fishing Forecast:

The red groupers continue to be the hot item from just a few miles offshore to seventy miles.They have really made a comeback the last couple of years and provided there are no major hurricanes in the southern gulf the red grouper fishing should just continue to get better.Also in august I have had some big days on the cobias.In august its not uncommon to finish a limit of red groupers with a couple of cobias.
