Ten Thousand Islands Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Ten Thousand Islands
As we head into July and the full heat of summertime, the water is hot, and the fishing is responding accordingly.
The bait is still small, but the mangrove snapper love it, and you never know what else is gonna eat it in the mangroves. We have chances at funsized tarpon, snook, redfish, jacks, ladyfish and the list goes on.
When we focus on big fish, we use big bait, and in the warm water, freshly cut chunks of big bait will out fish the live ones. Big snook and redfish are lazy this time of the year, and prefer...

When we focus on big fish, we use big bait, and in the warm water, freshly cut chunks of big bait will out fish the live ones. Big snook and redfish are lazy this time of the year, and prefer to sit back in their shady mangrove lined hiding places and slurp it up!
Big sharks are all over the back country. A freshly cut bloody bait usually won't last very long in the warm waters. Toss one out, and an outrageous drag ripping battle is sure to follow suit.
Whether you want to eat fresh snapper, battle snook, reds, tarpon, or get in the ring with a big bull or lemon shark, July is ready to provide the challenge.

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.

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!

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.

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
