Bait is still solid in Charlotte harbor. Still plenty of big and small tarpon. Snook are plentiful as they begin their usual migration up the rivers and are fattening up. 50 to 60 FISH days are common right now and it will continue until we get our first cold front. Going forward we will concentrate on trout and sheepshead when it does cool down, but as long as the water temperatures remain good almost everything will bite

The nearshore bites been strong with lots of cobia, a great goliath bite and lots of jacks and Spanish mackerel. The cobia are eating 2-3 inch pilchards and the goliaths are eating whatever big bait you can get to them however the hard parts stopping them!

October Fishing Report continues to be Red Hot as the waters cool!
If you want a redfish, now is the time for fishing in Naples! Redfish of all sizes, from giant over-slot fish to keepers, and even the little pups, are biting all over the mangroves around Naples. As the waters have cooled, we haven't had to resort to cut bait to sit and wait for them either. They are happily eating live pilchards, which are easily caught with the cast net at the start of the trip. One keeper redfish can feed several people, and they are highly regarded...

One keeper redfish can feed several people, and they are highly regarded tablefare blacked or grilled on the 'half shell'.
In addition to redfish, the snook, mangrove snapper, jack crevalle, and fun-sized tarpon are actively feeding on the pilchards too, which keeps the fishing trip totally busy.
The snook have been running from the small fun-to-catch sizes to the big line-ripping escape wizards of the mangroves. October means snook season is in full swing, so any slot snook is fair game for the table! And anyone who knows, knows! Snook are one of the finest eating fish in all of Florida!
Mangrove fishing in October is also red hot! We are routinely bringing back a dozen or more big fat keeper mangrove snapper on every charter. These feisty fighters are also considered to be one of the best eating fish in the sea as well, and are great blackened or fried.
The fun-sized tarpon seem to be everywhere right now, and provide some of the most explosive excitement of the day, anytime we hook one.
