Naples Freshwater Fishing

Naples, Florida is a year-round fishery that offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities. The area is characterized by mangroves, shallow flats, inland canals, productive reefs, and wrecks, providing a variety of habitats for fish species. Backcountry charters are ideal for family adventures, targeting Snook, Redfish, Seatrout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Sharks, and Flounder. Specialized fly fishing Tarpon trips are also available for those seeking a challenge. Full day trips offer access to deeper waters, where Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, Amberjack, King Mackerel, and Permit can be found. Extended deep sea charters provide opportunities to catch big game fish like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and various big bottom dwellers.

Fishing charters in Naples provide fishing licenses and ensure compliance with Florida's strict fishing regulations. It is recommended to book with a reputable captain to ensure a safe and legal fishing experience. Naples Bay and Marco Island offer a variety of fishing charters to choose from.

Naples Inshore Fishing

Naples is surrounded by mangroves, flats, sandbars, jetties, and piers that harbor an abundance of inshore fish species. These are the perfect spots to target speckled trout, redfish, drum, ladyfish, pompano, snook, tarpon, and sheepshead. Many of these fish have a cult following or are on angler’s bucket lists. If either is true for you then Naples is the perfect place for your next trip.

Head to the backwaters and experience some of the best snook, redfish, and seatrout fishing in the state. Although pompano is less of a glamorous fish than tarpon and snook, they provide some of the most exciting fishing you can have on light tackle. This hard-charging fish is a member of the jack family and is exceptionally good to eat. If you love to throw flies, Naples is a great place to test your skills and target inshore fish that will give you a run for your money.

In the summer, there is nothing better on the paradise coast of Florida than tarpon fishing. This is what everyone is after and Naples is one of the best places to catch one. You'll have a good chance to catch a tarpon over 100 pounds but if the tarpon won’t bite, the snook will. Snook are a fantastic south Florida fish and this area has a ton of them in the mangroves. Both of these powerful fish can grow to giant proportions and are sought-after trophy fish.

Naples Nearshore Fishing

Naples, Florida is a beautiful city surrounded by mangroves and shallow flats for inshore anglers to explore, but while offshore, there are ample wrecks and reefs to troll or deep drop. This means the action is hot no matter what kind of angling you are after.

Further from shore, various species of grouper and snapper congregate near deep structures, and you can try your luck by dropping baited lines down to their feeding grounds. If you want something more fast-paced, head out and troll near reefs for Spanish mackerel, kingfish, and cobia. These fish explode on lures, fight hard, and grow into giants, all things that make the nearshore fishing in Naples second to none.

Popular Types of Fishing In Naples

Naples fishing charters offer a variety of options for anglers of all levels. The most common types of fishing charters in Naples include inshore, offshore, and backwater fishing. Inshore fishing charters are perfect for those who want to stay close to shore and catch species such as snook, redfish, and trout. Offshore fishing charters take anglers further out to sea to catch larger species such as grouper, snapper, and kingfish. Backwater fishing charters are ideal for those who want to explore the mangrove-lined estuaries and catch species such as tarpon, snook, and redfish.

Some of the most common fish to catch in Naples include snook, redfish, trout, tarpon, grouper, snapper, and kingfish. Depending on the type of fishing charter you choose, you may also have the opportunity to catch other species such as cobia, permit, and shark.

Naples fishing charters often visit landmarks such as the Naples Pier and the Ten Thousand Islands. These areas are known for their abundant fish populations and beautiful scenery. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, there's a Naples fishing charter that's perfect for you.

    Great time stalking the canal system of Cape Coral with Roland! Very professional guide, informative and knowledgeable.

    We had an outstanding fishing trip with Captain Jack, and caught our target species at the first location of the day. In my experience this is rare. The snook were big, hungry, and plentiful. My son and his friend were astounded by the 30 inch snook's ability to fight. We had a great time, and I highly recommend Jack.

    Captain Brandon was an awesome fishing guide! We have a 7 & 8 year and they have always wanted to catch a shark when we take fishing excursions. So this time I booked with Captain Brandon just for that reason. We landed some great bull sharks and had a great time. Capt. Brandon was also amazing with our kids. Since there is some waiting involved when fishing for sharks, he made the time enjoyable by being so engaged with our kids which I know they appreciated. I would highly recommend Capt. Brandon as a fishing guide and plan to book with him again.

    Kirk B. with Brandon S. of Naples, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    If I could give six stars I would. I probably couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience saltwater fishing. James is clearly passionate about the waters and his knowledge was shown with every question we had answered. James was beyond patient, professional, and cares about his clients’ time. James knew where the action was and put us on some fish. I had an excellent time catching multiple species. Overall, my buddy and I felt welcomed and enjoyed hanging out with James and his mate Joe. Solid dudes. Would recommend booking and I will book again when I’m back in the area. Future charters have some big shoes to fill!
