Naples & Marco Island Fishing Report

Naples and Marco island have been producing some great inshore action with sea trout and snook on top of the hit list. We have had some recent cold fronts which have cooled the temps down but the bite has remained solid. Sea trout are always around in the winter months and when these cold fronts roll in and temps drop, it’s a perfect fish to target.

My go to artificial is a 3/8oz stand up jig head with a rootbear colored paddle tail . I always like to” sent up my soft plastics with a product called pro cure. It’s a concentrate derived from shrimp and other bait fish to add an oily sent that can get a tuff cold front bite, fired up.  

When our weather settles and I am able to get live bait, I can switch gears and get back to targeting snook and redfish. March is always a finicky months as we can still get some cold fronts and the winds tend to blow hard out of the SE at times 15-20mph are common. With this said you just have to roll with what Mother Nature gives you and be ready to adapt to any condition.  The 10 day extended forecast is looking great, with highs in the lower 80s and favorable winds , so get out and get m while  the getting is good !!!  Tight lines.
