NAPLES, FL FISHING CHARTERS

Naples, Florida and Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

In the heart of Southwest Florida, Naples is a big town that still retains its small town vibe. These days Naples is known as a high end tourist destination, as its shopping, dining, and recreational amenities are virtually unmatched. For those willing and able to see through all the “glitter”, there is a side of Naples, FL that is far more glamorous than an evening on Fifth Avenue. Naples sits between the open water of the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the swamps of Big Cypress National Preserve to the east, and the mangrove backcountry of Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve to the south. Naples’ location and weather make it a world class fishing destination. Combine all of the amenities, the weather, and the water, outline it in white sand beaches and see why Naples, Florida has rightfully earned the name “The Paradise Coast”. It might be the perfect location for those looking to spend time on (and off) the water.

Fishing Charters in Naples, FL

Fishing around Naples, FL, Rookery Bay National Esturaine Research Reserve, and the nearshore water of the Gulf of Mexico is a year-round activity. The area is coastal shallow water tidal estuary where fresh water from the Everglades flows into the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico. Mangrove shorelines surround the bays, flats, rivers, and creeks, that comprise the area and are home to many species of saltwater fish, including our primary targets: snook, redfish, and tarpon.

Naples, FL and Rookery Bay National Esturaine Research Reserve offer anglers protection from wind in all directions where calm water creates comfortable fishing. The water clarity in the area can vary from chocolate milk, to iced tea, to gin clear and the conditions dictate the fishing. We fish artificial (spin/plug) gear from technical poling skiffs. Most days are spent in water less than ten feet deep, poling or trolling areas while either sight fishing or blind casting.
