Fishing pickup up a lot today in the Naples area as the tides increased and the weather warmed. We had a couple tough days during the quarter moon which coincided with a three day cold front but that’s all in the past. Angler Brian Hirschmann battled a beautiful 8# 28″ red fishing today. Brian his girlfriend Sarah and his Dad Roy caught seven species including gag grouper, trout, snook and more. I had a tough day with Paul Mann and his son Ben until Paul hooked into a 250lb bull shark in four feet of water which he fought for 2 hours before we touched the leader for an official landing. Great job fighting that shark Paul!
Tarpon have showed in the backcountry of Naples along with the sharks. Call me to book a trip and let’s have fun. Check back every week for the latest Naples fishing report! Visit us on facebook or instagram to check out our latest fishing adventures.
