Fishing in the Naples and Marco Island area has been great with tarpon running the beaches, snook, redfish, snapper, mackerel and sharks all active.
Tarpon are still migrating up the beaches with live crabs the bait of choice although pinfish and thread herring also work. Fish average 70 – 100 lbs with some smaller and some bigger.
Sharks are also prevelant along the beaches as well as deeper water. Black tips are the most common with spinner, nurse and hammerheads mixed in. Cut bait is always the norm and it’s almost a sure thing.
Snook are active along the beaches, the passes and the adjacent bays. Live pilchards work best although jigs and plugs also work. As usual this time of year we get some bigger snook up to the high thirties…that’s inches.
Snapper have showed up in good numbers with many in the keeper range which is over 10”. My favorite eating fish.
