Naples inshore fishing in August is as interesting as it is hot! The hot summer spawning activity of the snook is slowing down, but there are plenty of big ones still around, as they spread out from the passes into their usual haunts. What gets interesting, is the big redfish start to show up with more predictability as they begin to gather up for their on spawning fun in the fall. In addition to the gamefish, the are lots and lots of mangrove snapper at just about every spot we fish, that can quickly load up the cooler and cleaning...

The big sharks are plentiful and ready for anyone who is ready to feel the most powerful predator in the backcountry pull line off of a big rod like it’s hooked up to a boat!
Naples inshore fishing for big snook in August, means fishing with big chunk of freshly cut threadfin herring, ladyfish, or mullet, under the mangroves, and patience. These fish will often stare at a piece of bait for a while, before finally decide to slurp it up. They are lazy, and want it fresh. if the angler is impatient, and keeps tugging and making the bait move, they will not eat it. Big fish know chunks of cut bait aren’t supposed to move! There are also plenty of snook in the passes, and under docks and other deep cutes, These fish want a nice medium sized pilchard or pinfish fed into their ambush point. There is nothing like that distinct thump when a snook hits that live bait!
The redfish are in the back country, but are starting to gather up towards the outside points, passes, cuts and docks, a

Captain Chris was amazing! He provided great communication before our iguana hunting trip and during. Captain Chris was great with his instructions for our 10-year old and 8-year old. He was also very considerate and had a great approach to dealing with kids. We saw quite a few iguanas, shot quite a few, and recovered quite a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Captain Chris! Very knowledgeable and experienced!
Absolutely a blast. Great group, great coordination, and a genuinely fun evening from start to finish.
It took some getting used to at first, since you basically have to identify the animals by color alone, but once you get the hang of it, it clicks fast and makes the whole thing even more interesting.
Everything was well organized and the communication was spot on. I would do this again anytime. Highly recommended!
Damn Great Trip ! Damn Great Capt.! Capt Paul was very Professional and Super friendly. His knowledge of the water ways and the marine life was amazing. He lead us to the fish and we caught a bunch. Had a great time! Capt Paul really helpful with my grandson and definitely made his trip unforgettable! Thanks so much! 😁👍
I would give more stars if I could. Logan was a great guide and very knowledgeable about hunting SWFL. Kona was a great dog and one of the best parts of the trip was watching her retrieve the iguanas. When we do another iguana hunting trip we will definitely choose Logan as our guide!
