After a week of record rain in the Naples and Marco island areas , we are right back into some great inshore fishing action. Snook have been prevalent on the beaches, around the passes and outside islands. If you’re looking for a great exciting bite get up early ( first light ) and throw some Top water plugs(skitter walk or Zara spooks). Any shoreline that has standing birds or small baitfish schooling is a great place to start.
Stay as far off the shoreline as you can and work your plugs about halfway between you and the boat and repeat process. This is a great method, not only to enjoy a great bite, but it’s also a great way to locate fish quickly. There’s also been some nice redfish hanging around the deeper shorelines on the higher incoming tides. A well placed cast close to the bushes with ensure you get that hard strike . Look for our weather pattern to continue, great fishing in the morning and late afternoon thunderstorms. Get out and get yah some !!!!!
