Naples & Marco island inshore fishing continues to produce some great summer time action.  To be productive this time of year stay close to the beaches and passes where the currents are strongest. This is where u will find all the small pods of live bait that our gamefish have been feasting on .  Snook have been just about everywhere but we having the best action on the beaches . All summer I take clients to sight fish on our desolate beaches .  There are a few things you need to be successful, these are light winds and sunny conditions.  When targeting these fish make sure you stay just in casting range but not any closer as these fish spook easily .  A Long cast with a fresh live bailt(pilchard, mullet, thredfin herring) will insure you get blown up by one of these stealthy hunters .  Also starting to see Spanish mackerel and Bonita  just off our beaches feasting on pods of tiny baitfish . A small silver spoon reeled erratically will get that drag screaming! Weather pattern has been consistent with good fishing early and  heavy thunderstorms in the afternoons.  Get out and enjoy this great summer. See you on the water.
