The spring brings warmer waters and more fish into this area. Anglers catch plenty of redfish, sheepshead, sea trout, flounder, whiting and black drum, but they also see other fish migrating into this area. Bluefish, tarpon, cobia, pompano, jacks and sharks are just some of the fish you may catch as waters warm up in the spring. While there are several species of fish to target, snook are the main draw for most anglers here in the spring. The backcountry waters provide excellent snook habitat and it is a lot of fun targeting them in just a few feet of water around the mangroves. Don’t rule out the passes either though since snook will definitely stack up around these areas and feed aggressively during the tidal changes.

In the summer, it is hot down here, so while the fishing can still be very good, it gets a little uncomfortable being on the boat for long in the heat. Inshore anglers can take advantage of the days that offer tidal changes in the morning and evening. Night fishing can also be very good for snook and other fish too. Offshore, charters are busy during the summer tourist season. Whether you are bottom fishing for grouper and snapper or trolling farther out for pelagic species, there are plenty of fish to catch in the offshore waters around Naples.

As the water temperatures cool in the fall, the bite gets very good in this area. The summer tourist season is over, so the crowds are gone, but plenty fish are still here ready to eat. As the fall progress, you get another shot at catching better numbers of the migratory species of fish to go along with the usual redfish, snook, trout, flounder, black drum and sheepshead.

Some of the backcountry areas can hold some of the best fishing during the winter months, so if you like shallow water fishing for snook, redfish, trout, flounder and sheepshead, this is a great place to visit in the winter.
