Fresh Naples Fishing Reports

Sheeps head fishing is pretty exciting when you get on a good school. Make sure to book a trip while they are still here!

Wonderful trip this morning! Got into some good keeper sheepshead! Time for tacos for this brother sister duo!!!

March is the true transition from winter into spring, and with it our fishery begins to come alive. What makes this time of year so special is the sheer range of species you can encounter. As water temperatures rise, opportunities expand both inshore and offshore, and the next few weeks are where things really start to happen. Our inshore fishery will change dramatically by the end of this week. With a steady warming trend, we’ll shift from shrimp to live pilchards, opening the door to some of the best backcountry fishing of the year. Snook, Redfish, and juvenile Tarpon become increasingly active as they push back into the shallows after winter, making for exciting, visual fishing in calm conditions. Offshore has already been stellar and is only getting better. Hundreds of Permit have shown up early this season, along with plenty of barracudas and amberjacks to pull on. We’ve been feeding the AJs flies and artificials, creating some epic topwater eats. Cobia should begin to show soon, another strong kingfish run is upon us, and the snapper bite has been phenomenal. This time of year we can chum them up near the surface—an added bonus when we’re already surrounded by action and they make for incredible table fare. As we move into April, all eyes turn toward the arrival of the silver king. Tarpon and Permit will be our primary targets throughout the spring and into early summer. March is already nearly full and April isn’t far behind. We’re looking forward to an epic spring with our clients—feel free to reach out with any questions about upcoming trips. Happy fishing

With cold dirty water it can make great snapper fishing in the Gulf of America

What a great time to be on the water in Naples Florida. The action has remained consistent even with cooler water temperatures. Our guests have had some excellent fish dinners in the recent weeks and with spring approaching will only get better. Its a great time of year to get offshore as the palegic fish including king mackerel, permit, cobia, and barracuda start showing back up in our water.

Day three with repeat customers and rods were steady bent on various fish from big gag grouper, porgies and tasty mangrove snapper.
