Naples & Marco Island Snook Fishing
Snook fishing has been excellent all summer, and I’ve been finding them in a variety of locations, from the passes and beaches to areas with strong current and structure. Snook fishing in Marco Island and Naples has been particularly productive, and we’ve had great success sight-fishing for snook along the beaches using live bait, as well as fly fishing. One of the biggest advantages of summer fishing in Southwest Florida is the gin-clear water in the Gulf of America, which creates incredible sight-fishing opportunities. Snook sight fishing in Marco Island is one of my...

Snook sight fishing in Marco Island is one of my favorite ways to target these fish because you can often see them cruising the shallow water before making a presentation.

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...
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

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.
