Tarpon have thinned out along the beaches, snook and snapper are very prevalent along with mackerel, a few reds and some jacks. Tropical storm Elsa was just a rain event as it was many miles off the coast. The Southwest wind did dirty the water for a couple days but the water is clear again. …

Another good week fishing the backcountry in Naples in lieu of some tough conditions. The wind blew hard for a few days mid week behind the approaching front.
