Last week was a challenging one on the water! Between high winds offshore and extremely low tides inshore, we had our work cut out for us, but we still managed some fun on the water. Offshore we were able to pull on some grouper, snapper, and kingfish. In the backwater we had some nice catches with trout, whiting, sheepshead and a few snook. Looking forward to some calmer winds and warmer temps this week so it should be a great week fishing in Naples! We still have a few open slots for trips in February, so book your inshore or offshore fishing charter today!

This past week we have seen some cold temps and high winds, but no snow here, so we can't complain too much! We ran both offshore and inshore charters this week. The offshore trips provided some nice catches of lane snapper and a few grouper. The cold backwater temperatures of Naples bay had the trout and sheepshead biting at a steady rate, as well as a few pompano starting to show from Gordon Pass in Naples down to Marco Island. This week should be another beautiful week in Naples and hopefully, it will be another productive fishing week!

The past week has been a windy one! We did manage to get offshore one morning to do a little bottom fishing for some grouper and snapper, as well as catching a toothy barracuda, which is always a fun fight on light tackle! The rest of the week was spent in the backwaters of Naples bay and Keewaydin island with some great families. Those trips produced some nice catches of trout, sheepshead, redfish, and snook, and even a couple pompano and black drum. Looking forward to spending this week out on the water in Naples soaking up some of the beautiful weather!

The past week here in Naples has been a busy one. I always enjoy this time of year as many of my repeat clients are in town and love to go fishing so we get to do a little catching up and get some fish for dinner while they are here.  Many of our half days this past week were spent going after some kingfish, spanish mackerel, and bonita offshore in Naples. On our offshore trips we also spent some time bottom fishing catching some snapper as well. Lane snapper is currently closed until January 1st so it will be nice for my clients to be able to put those on the dinner plate again in a couple of days. In the backwater the bite in Naples has been great with snook, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, and trout all caught this past week. Hard to believe it will be a new year in a couple of days. Its been a great year with some great clients and we want to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

Even though the weather has been less than favorable this past week, we were able to run a couple trips offshore last week in Naples and caught some Kingfish and snapper. We are also seeing good action in the backwater in Naples with some Sheepshead, Trout, Redfish, Bluefish, Ladyfish, and Snook. Looking forward to the rest of this week bringing us some better weather conditions and enjoying some time out on the water. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Fun times fishing with families in the backwater of Naples Bay this week. It’s always a pleasure watching a kid cast a line , hook a fish and bring it in all on their own! FWC this week has also came out with new regulations for spotted sea trout that will go into effect starting February 1st 2020 to ensure these fish are around for generations to come!

It was a great week to be out on the water here in sunny Southwest Florida! The fish are chewing this week both in the backwaters of Naples bay as well as offshore in Naples. Running multiple charters this week on both the Cuda and Cuda 2 yielded nice catches of both kingfish and snapper offshore, to sheepshead, trout, and redfish inshore. The cooler water temps have the fish quite active and attacking almost anything we throw at them! We have a cold front bearing down on us this week, so break out those sweatshirts and enjoy some cooler weather!

This past week has brought some fantastic fishing to the Naples area. The last couple of cold fronts have finally dropped the water temperatures, and the kingfish have arrived offshore in Naples. Finally time to fire up the smoker and have some fish dip! The bottom bite offshore in Naples has also picked up yielding some nice snapper on our recent outings. In the backwater, the sheepshead and trout bite has picked up as well with the cooler water temperatures. The fishing for this busy holiday week ahead should continue to be just as productive. We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

The past week has been productive both offshore in Naples and the backwater south of Naples bay! Offshore we have had good luck with the spanish mackerel as well as some snapper and a few sharks on our 1/2 day offshore trips. Water temps. are finally dropping, and we got our first cold front of the year. For us locals it’s always a welcome event! With the cooler temps we look forward to seeing the kingfish soon.  I already have my smoker ready! The fishing in the backwater in Naples continues to be great. We are catching everything from snook, redfish, sheepshead, and trout.  On one of our backwater outings this week, we also hooked up with some pompano. This week also brought a sightseeing trip to Cape Romano to visit the dome houses, and we ran into a pod of dolphins on our way. Don’t forget to support our local crabbers and buy some fresh stone crab!

It was a great week to be out on the water! Naples beaches were loaded with bait and birds, as well as playful pods of dolphins to enjoy both leaving and entering Gordon Pass and Naples Bay! Bottom fishing offshore this week saw some solid action catching both snapper and some line zipping Spanish mackerel as well. Inshore fishing the action was good, landing many slot redfish as well as catching a variety of other fish including snapper, snook, and ladyfish. Water temps.  remain in the low to mid 80s as we have yet to have our first cold front. Happy Halloween!
