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.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brandon was great! We took this trip with our 2 kids and he was awesome with them as well. He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew where the fish were biting. We all caught at least one fish (Our WI technique was not up to par with these FL fish!) Brandon decided to keep a few smaller ones and use as bait for a shark to see if we could catch one and threw the line out. We all had fun struggling to bring fish in, when the shark line started zipping and he had my husband take the pole! After about 20 min they got it in the boat! My kids were ecstatic! So despite not catching a ton of fish, we caught a shark and that was pretty awesome!! He even took the time at the dock to show the kids the crazy big fish in the marina and how they go nuts for anything in the water. Highly recommend Captain Brandon!
