    En flott fiskedag

    Halvdagstur (AM) • 4 voksne

    Vi hadde en flott dag med fiske sammen med kaptein Tim. Han ledet oss til flere gode plasser, og vi fanget alle flere fisk selv om vi ikke fant idealt agn denne morgenen. Vi planlegger å dra med Tim igjen, og jeg vil anbefale ham til alle som ser etter en erfaren og hyggelig kaptein, spesielt hvis du har uerfarne fiskere om bord. Jeg har vært på mange fisketurer fra Marco og Goodland, og dagens tur var en av de beste turene vi noen gang har hatt.

    Kaptein Tim var en sann mesterfisker

    Halvdagstur (AM) • 3 voksne

    Jeg fra Westport Connecticut og mine to slektninger fra Bronx New York hadde en fantastisk morgen; vi fisket med kaptein Tim og startet med å fange pilchards med kastenett, deretter fisket vi rundt bryggene og broene i Marco. Vi fanget omtrent et halvt dusin snook som var utenfor sesong, så de ble fanget og sluppet ut igjen, men vi landet deretter omtrent 10 Snapper (Mangrove) som vi laget to utrolige måltider av ved hjelp av kaptein Tims oppskrift med eggevask, brødsmuler og kokosnøttflak, stekt i smør og kokosnøttolje - langt bedre enn måten snapperen ble tilberedt på da vi spiste på Snook Inn. Kaptein Tim var en mester som ikke sløste med noen anstrengelser og hadde utrolige instinkter - vi vil definitivt be om ham igjen på vår neste tur neste år med hans 22-fots Pathfinder drevet av en 200 hestekrefter Suzuki-motor, som var det perfekte fartøyet for å fiske i det grunne vannet rundt Marco. Prisen var latterlig lav, så vennligst gi Tim et skikkelig tips hvis du bestiller en tur med ham. '}]

    Fantastisk fiskedag!

    Halvdagstur (PM) • 2 voksne

    Vi hadde det kjempebra med kaptein Tim! Vi fikk den fulle opplevelsen av saltvannsfiske. Det var første gang både kjæresten min og jeg fisket i saltvann, og kaptein Tim var veldig kunnskapsrik og tålmodig med å lære oss forskjellene fra ferskvannsfiske og hvordan det skiller seg fra fisking hjemme i nord. Vi fanget et stort mangfold av fiskearter – Snook, ørret, Snapper (Rød), saltvannsbluegill og Jack. Jack-en var morsom å fange fordi selv de små satte skikkelig kamp!

    Familiens fangst for dagen

    Halvdagstur (AM) • 4 voksne

    Det var en morsom morgen for vår familie på fire. Mannen min og sønnene mine elsket det! Tim var en fantastisk kaptein og en kunnskapsrik fisker! Vi fanget masse Snapper (Mangrove) og Snook på flere forskjellige plasser. Vi fikk beholde noen passe store snappere til middag. Vi fikk også se flere delfiner nær båten underveis. Det var en solrik, varm dag. Anbefaler å bruke solkrem, hatt, solbriller og en hettegenser for fiske.

    Tim var fantastisk, kommunikasjonen hans med oss fra da vi satte opp turen var utmerket. Han viste oss alt fra hvordan man kaster en line til å dra inn en fisk. Og flyttet seg mye rundt for å vise oss forskjellige fiskeplasser En flott tur som vi gjerne ville gjort igjen

Hva er det som biter med Fish The Salt Guide Service i Marco Island

Høsten er en flott tid for å fiske i bakvannet etter Redfish, Speckled Trout, og andre kystfiskearter. Og for den saks skyld er revfisket heller ikke dårlig – du kan fortsatt fange alt fra Barrakuda og Kongemakrell (Kingfish) til Snapper.

Snook, Redfish & Jacks at First Light

Sep 15, 2026 • Marco Island
We are in full summer swing down in Naples and Marco Island, with the early morning low-light window proving to be prime time for the best bite. Pushing out at first light has been key to beating the heat and getting into constant action before the sun bakes the flats. We’ve been putting clients on a true Southwest Florida slam, pulling in everything from snook and redfish to aggressive jacks, snapper, and sea trout.

Winter fishing in full swing

Jan 3, 2026 • Marco Island
Winter is in full swing here in Southwest Florida, and last week we saw some of the coldest mornings of the season with temperatures dropping into the low 40s. When these strong cold fronts move through, our gulf water temperatures drop quickly, and that triggers a noticeable shift in fish behavior. As conditions cool, many inshore species begin sliding out of the shallows and heading for deeper, more stable water where temperatures fluctuate less. This is a very predictable winter pattern and one we rely on heavily while running Naples fishing charters and Marco Island fishing charters. Anytime a cold front pushes through, my game plan is simple: head deeper and deeper into the backcountry, especially during low water. These fish stack up in deeper holes, troughs, and along protected shorelines where they can conserve energy and stay comfortable. Right now, we’re finding solid numbers of snook, sea trout, pompano, jack crevalle, mangrove snapper, and redfish tucked in tight to the deeper shorelines throughout the backcountry. This style of Naples back country fishing is extremely productive during winter and a staple of our Naples, Florida fishing trips. The timing couldn’t be better with a full moon approaching. Full moon phases bring extreme tidal swings, giving us very low lows and very high highs. These big tides help position fish even tighter to structure and depth changes, making them easier to target if you’re in the right areas. Early morning fishing around these tides has been especially productive, and it’s a great time for anglers booking Naples fishing guides and Marco Island fishing guides to experience some quality action. When it comes to lures, winter fishing is all about slowing things down. My go-to setup has been a 3/8-ounce jig head paired with an NLBN 3-inch paddle tail or a 3-inch shrimp pattern. These jigs excel when water temperatures plummet because fish are holding closer to the bottom and are less willing to chase fast-moving baits. A slower, more deliberate presentation keeps the lure in the strike zone longer and makes it far more appetizing for cold-water fish like Naples snook fishing targets and wintertime sea trout. This approach has been producing consistent bites on snook fishing Marco Island, along with quality redfish for anglers interested in Marco Island red fishing Naples. We’re also seeing surprise hookups with pompano and jacks mixed in, adding variety to each trip. Whether you’re casting jigs, working deeper edges, or even trying Marco Island fly fishing on calmer days, the winter bite has been strong for those willing to adjust to the conditions. Overall, winter fishing offers some of the most reliable backcountry action of the year. From early morning fishing sessions to full-day trips chasing snook, trout, and redfish, this is a prime season to explore the deeper waters. While most people think of spring and summer for species like Marco Island tarpon fishing, winter delivers its own rewards with less pressure and concentrated fish. If you’re looking to experience the best of Naples fishing charters and Marco Island fishing Naples, now is an excellent time to get on the water.

December fishing is heating up!!

Dec 20, 2025 • Marco Island
The fishing this week around Naples and Marco Island has been nothing short of fantastic, with action firing on all cylinders. Anglers booking Naples fishing charters or Marco Island fishing charters are finding steady opportunities throughout the middle islands and deep in the backcountry. As water temperatures cool, the conditions have been ideal for a classic winter pattern, and the fish are responding in a big way. We’re still catching plenty of snook along the middle islands, and the snook fishing Naples and snook fishing Marco Island anglers are experiencing consistent hookups. Every year when the water temps begin to fall, those snook push farther into the backcountry, and this week is no exception. On the low incoming tides, the fish have been staging along shorelines with deep undercuts, which are producing excellent numbers. For those seeking snook fishing on artificials, fly, or live bait, expect the action to remain strong as long as the warmer weather holds. A decent redfish bite is also underway, with reds mixed in alongside the snook. The bait fishing has been outstanding as well—live pilchards are thick on the nearshore wrecks just a mile or so off the beaches, and I am loading up with only a few throws of the cast net. With live wells full, we’re set up perfectly for action-packed days on the water. Combined with aggressive schools of jacks and plentiful mangrove snapper, anglers on Naples fishing guides trips and guided fishing trips out of Marco Island are staying busy from start to finish. Another positive sign for the season is the appearance of sea trout starting to move into the area. The cooler water has triggered their migration, and we’re seeing more trout show up in the bays and along grass edges. This adds yet another rewarding option for those enjoying the Marco island fishing on soft plastics, fly presentations, or live shrimp. Fly anglers, in particular, are having a banner week. The backcountry fly fishing has been excellent, with snook responding aggressively to well-placed streamers and small baitfish patterns. With clean water, mild tides, and perfect weather, it’s been an ideal stretch for targeting snook on the long rod—something many Marco Island fishing anglers look forward to each winter. Tarpon sightings have been limited in the cooler temps, but it’s still a good time to plan ahead for tarpon fishing Naples as conditions begin to shift later in the season. This week’s weather forecast looks picture-perfect, giving us a great window to keep the momentum going before another cold front eventually rolls in. Until then, we’ll continue to ride this wave of excellent fishing across the region. Whether you’re hitting Naples fishing charters, joining Marco Island fishing charters, or exploring the backcountry with local Naples fishing guides, the opportunities are as good as they get for wintertime action. Until next week—catch ’em up!

Great weather equals great fishing

Dec 14, 2025 • Marco Island
Southwest Florida continues to deliver outstanding days on the water, and this week’s Naples Fishing Charters and Marco Island Fishing Charters have been no exception. Cooler water temperatures have pushed plenty of snook to the inside around the Middle Islands, but some of the best Snook Fishing in Naples is happening deeper in the backcountry. These conditions are ideal for anglers looking to experience classic Naples Florida Fishing, where winter patterns gather fish tight to structure and deeper shorelines. As we push farther back, we’re finding strong numbers of good-sized jacks, consistent sea trout action, and some impressive mangrove snappers along deeper cuts. The sea trout bite has really come alive with the recent temperature drop, making for excellent days for both live-bait anglers and artificial enthusiasts. For those booking Inshore Fishing Charters around Naples or Marco Island Fishing Guides, these backcountry zones are providing steady rod-bending action across the tide cycles. Live bait has been highly productive, especially when paired with a popping cork for trout. My personal go-to setup for artificial work has been a 3⁄8-ounce jig head matched with a 4-inch DOA paddle tail. This style of jig fishing shines in the cooler months as fish hold closer to the bottom, and it continues to be one of the most reliable approaches for wintertime Naples Snook Fishing and chasing sea trout. Anyone fishing with local Naples Fishing Guides or Marco Island Fishing Guides right now will find that adapting to this seasonal pattern pays off quickly. Fly anglers are also having excellent success, especially deep in the backcountry on falling tides. We’re catching plenty of medium-sized snook on weighted patterns, and using a Clouser to get the fly down has produced some surprisingly nice trout. It’s a great time for those interested in the sight-fishing opportunities that Snook Fishing in Marco Island, Red Fishing in Naples can provide as the conditions shift toward more stable winter patterns. With next week’s forecast showing stable weather and slightly rising temperatures, expect the fishing to continue improving. As the water warms just a touch and the weather steadies, look for the action to pick up even more across the backcountry. Whether you’re exploring the shallows, drifting deeper channels, or hunting snook in tucked-away creeks, this is shaping up to be a prime stretch for all types of Southwest Florida Fishing Charters.
