Naples Inshore Report for the first 2 weeks of June has been a been a mixture of great fishing, great eating, and refreshing rains! For anyone wanting to get a mess of fish for the table, we have been skipping shrimp and small pilchards in the mangroves for mangrove snapper. It hasn't been uncommon to get 30 fish in a trip that we could sort through for 10-15 to bring home. Redfish, snook, trout and jack crevalle are mixed in these catches.

It hasn't been uncommon to get 30 fish in a trip that we could sort through for 10-15 to bring home. Redfish, snook, trout and jack crevalle are mixed in these catches.

For those fishermen into catching bigger spirtier fish, the big snook and big redfish are eating the bigger
baits, and cut baits in the mangroves, and around all the passes. There are some true trophy fish to be caught, but remember, snook are out of season, and any redfish must be under 27 inches to be a keeper.

For the pure sportsman, tarpon and sharks you d out, perhaps, the best month of the year to catch the trophy of a lifetime.

So if you wanna eaten, or just catch em, set up a trip and let's go get em!

Been out everyday. Now is the time for huge snook. Sharks, Goliath grouper and tarpon are easy to catch right now. The bite will stay that way for a while.

Current Naples fishing report has the waters warming up into the mid 80s, the tarpon eating on the beaches, the reds and snapper eating in the magroves, and the snook getting packed in the passes for the summer spawn!

Each trip we have been on in the last few weeks has had been loaded with excitement and the chances to hook and catch the trophy of a lifetime.

The bait has shifted to mainly freshly netted pilchards, but everything is still eating shrimp.

Each trip we have been on in the last few weeks has had been loaded with excitement and the chances to hook and catch the trophy of a lifetime.

The bait has shifted to mainly freshly netted pilchards, but everything is still eating shrimp.

In fact, if it's dinner you're after, and live well full of live shrimp will all but
guarantee a fresh load of mangrove snapper at the cleaning table!

There's been lots of big redfish in the backcountry mangroves...some are too big to keep, but most are in the upper slot (size range we are allowed to keep 18-27") and they have been e as ting pilchards, cut chunks of mullet, and shrimp.

Their cousins, the black drum have been eating shrimp, pn the incoming tides, and crashing the snapper party.

This is the ti.e of year that offers the chance to get the snook of a lifetime...the big snook are active, hungry, and eating pilchards as they prepare for the very spawning season that starts in June. They can range from small ones in the low 20s, to mid 40 inch monsters that rip drags, and totally test our nerves and skills as they use every piece of structure in the area to break the line, as they try to break our hearts.

The giant tarpon are all over the way morning beaches, back bays, and passes. The big sharks are in the back bays, and off the beaches, and both are ready to test your strength and resolve

There are big drum in big schools up to 100s of them. You can find them in 4ft of water and sight cast them. Now this time of year. We saw a school today kicking up mud look for crabs and were marking them on side scan on the lowrance but it was 15ft deep with current so harder to get a bait directly in front of them.
Also Goliath grouper from end of January. The water behind the people was so calm that was 7 miles offshore at a whopping 11ft deep

    Tyler is a great guide who showed up early with live bait he caught earlier in the morning. He checked to confirm what we were hoping to catch, snook and tarpon. He knew where to go in rookery bay, aptly rebaited the fishing hooks. We caught a snook, several young snapper and jacks, and then several athletic tarpon that put up a good fight. He told us fishing stories and we saw the beautiful Marco island and rookery bay islands where dolphins and sea turtles were swimming. He provided many opportunities for us to catch big fish! It was a great time for the family.

    We had a great time with Captain Mike. He was very patient with the kids and answered all their questions, He was very attentive helping with baiting hooks and helping take fish off the hook as well. He even cleaned out catch when we got back. We would love to go back out with Captain Mike.

    My family enjoyed Jesse but did have a couple comments. It seemed he was not as forthcoming to assist but helped if asked. The other comment was about the smoking. Our family is very sensitive about cigarette smoke due to my bout with pancreatic cancer for which the leading cause is cigarette smoking, even though I have never smoked in my life. They didn’t expect him to stop to fill up on their fishing time. I would say his communication was above expectations. Thank you.
